# Problems Importing from Textpattern

 * I’ve already done a search and haven’t found any useful info, so I’m making my
   own post.
 * I’m trying to import from Textpattern using the import script from the wp install
   and also from a script I found in the codex. Neither one is working and I think
   I might have narrowed down the problem…
 * so my question is Do I have to have both wp and txp installed in the same DB??
   I ask this because when I give it a prefix, it picks up the correct table name
   from the txp database, but appends the prefix, but the problem is I don’t have
   prefixes on my txp tables. If I leave the prefix blank (since there are none),
   it’s like it won’t run the script to get the info from txp, then I keep getting
   errors saying that the wp_ tables don’t exist in my txp database. Well, I know
   they don’t.
 * I’m so confused, but if I can’t get my txp info into WP, then that defeats the
   purpose of switching and I might as well stay with TXP. At least it’s running
   fine.
 * Can anyone help?
