 * Using WP 2.0.4 and Textpattern 4.0.3
 * I have moved my WP database into my Textpattern DB because a few threads have
   made this suggestion and say it works, however, I am still having trouble getting
   anywhere.
 * I keep receiving the following:
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /home/*****/public_html/testbed/wp-admin/admin-header.php:16) in /home/*****/
   public_html/testbed/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 310
 * followed by
 * Error establishing a database connection
 * This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.
   php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This
   could mean your host’s database server is down.
 *  * Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
    * Are you sure that
   you have typed the correct hostname? * Are you sure that the database server 
   is running?
 * If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host.
   If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.
 * —————————–
    So this makes it look like it is a simple matter of checking the 
   config file. The only trouble is – there is nothing wrong there. I have checked
   it a hundred times.
 * So if anyone who has tried this before has any ideas or come across the same 
   problems and knows a solution, it would be very nice to hear from you.
 * Thanks

 * Just an update for anyone else who gives this a try. I have tried all I know 
   and simply cannot get the importer in WP to work.
 * I will be staying with TextPattern for now it seems.

 * I’ve recently imported my whole database from the current TXP-Installation into
   the current WP-Installation without any problems. The database should be the 
   same for both, WP and TXP.
 * But there is one bad thing I would like to tell you: the entries are imported
   in textile-format, which means that you need the textile-plugin to display them
   correctly.
 * My suggestion: try to update both versions WP and TXP and try the WP-Importer
   for TXP-articles – it works perfectly fine.
