 * I am using the import function to pull my Textpattern entries into my new WP2.0
   blog. everything imports fine until it tries to import posts, then it gives me
   this error:
 * WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘comments_count’ in ‘field list’]
    
   SELECT ID, Posted, AuthorID, LastMod, Title, Body, Excerpt, Category1, Category2,
   Status, Keywords, url_title, comments_count FROM textpattern
 * WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘comments_count’ in ‘field list’]
    
   SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘txpposts2wpposts’ LIMIT
   1
 * WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘comments_count’ in ‘field list’]
    
   INSERT INTO wp_options (option_name, option_value, option_description, autoload)
   VALUES (‘txpposts2wpposts’, ‘a:0:{}’, ”, ‘yes’)
 * Any ideas?

 * What version of Textpattern? I wrote the importer based on TXP 4.02 though it
   would be fairly simple to remove that field from the importer.

 * That must have been it. I was actually using a pretty old version of textpattern(
   1.0rc3). I will upgrade it and try the install again.
