 * After upgrading to WP 2.0 and the latest version of K2, I was unable to create
   an archives page because of a problem with my database. It simply would not generate
   an archives page when I called it. I talked through the process with many people
   and even had someone check out the problem by handing over my username and password
   and checking things via ftp. They made it work by hacking it but that was not
   a long term solution.
 * I have initialized a new database (which resolved the problem) and want to import
   the posts from the old database to the new database at the old location. Has 
   anyone ever done this? Is there support for importing a wordpress database into
   another wordpress database? I’ve not found anything in a couple of hours of searching.
 * I do not have the old database connected to a blog at the moment.
 * Thanks in advance for any help you might offer.

 * There really is no easy way to export/import posts only. Why don’t you tell us
   about your archives page problem and whether or not you can re-produce it under
   the Default Theme? We may be able to provide a more long-term solution for you,
   or at least point you in the right direction.

 * Wow, basically Archives works with every theme but K2 at this stage. I can manually
   create an archives page no problem but when I select “Create archives page” in
   the K2 theme for some reason it will not generate the page. So without hacking
   the page it will not show up.
 * It makes me believe that there is an archives page in the database that is preventing
   the creation of a new one. Having a functional new installation tells me that
   there isn’t a server problem, its something to do with that old database.
 * The old blog and database is set up at [http://www.rustyhinges.com/wordpress/](http://www.rustyhinges.com/wordpress/)
 * From what I gather the only way to reproduce it is to use the K2 theme as it 
   has a unique way of creating the archives page, unlike the manual generation 
   of archives pages with other themes (ex. the original Kubrick).
 * Thanks

 * In that case, please submit your support request to the [K2 Support Forums](http://flickr.com/groups/binarybonsai/).

 * K2 is more of a modification than a theme. We have no experience with its code,
   so we really can’t help you here, sorry.
