    I have not modified the Dashboard with any plugins. The only plugin I’ve activated is “Hello Dolly” which doesn’t affect this issue whether on or off.

    Also – FYI regarding re-installing the Classic Theme – the instructions here: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Upgrading_WordPress#Detailed_Instructions could probably be updated to mention that if you’re using the Classic Theme there is no need to re-upload it.

    Thanks ladydelaluna.

    The issue with comments appears to be fixed in both FF and Explorer.

    However, it remains when I write a new post. The Title section shrinks appropriately when I change my window size, but the Post section will only shrink to a certain point and then the sidebar covers it, so that you can’t see what you’re typing.

    So, this probably has nothing to do with the theme, but rather a Dashboard / management tool issue?

    I’m using Firefox. Did you try shrinking your window size down and then going into comments and typing? That’s where the problem occurs. It also occurs when I am posting a new entry with the Firefox window shrunk.

    As to the Classic Theme, I didn’t make any changes to the theme after downloading it from WordPress. The Theme says it’s WordPress Classic 1.5.

    Now we’re getting somewhere – thanks podz!

    I’m upgraded!

    Here’s what I had to do (for the benefit of any who follow):
    1) Clean install of WordPress 1.5.2 as a plugin from my Host (IPowerWeb). Could have skipped this and done a clean install of 1.0.2 if it was my server.

    2) Copied my b2 database files into the WordPress database using SQL:
    DROP TABLE wp_categories;
    DROP TABLE wp_comments;
    DROP TABLE wp_posts;
    DROP TABLE wp_users;
    RENAME TABLE b2categories TO wp_categories;
    RENAME TABLE b2comments TO wp_comments;
    RENAME TABLE b2posts TO wp_posts;
    RENAME TABLE b2settings TO wp_settings;
    RENAME TABLE b2users TO wp_users;

    3) Download WordPress 1.0.2 and expand.
    4) Uploaded the 1.0.2 files to my WordPress directory, overwriting everything.
    5) Browsed to ../WordPress/wp-admin/upgrade.php
    6) Repeat steps 3-5 for 1.2.2
    7) Repeat steps 3-5 for 1.5.2

    DONE!

    Thanks guys.

    Thanks for the link, macmanx.

    Unfortunately, I’ve already been to the wild mind thread and tried that. I’ve run across several threads here that describe similar problems to what I’m experiencing, most without a solution. The others that show a solution I’ve tried.

    I have dropped the wp_ tables and renamed the b2 tables and run the import script – it looks like it runs fine, but when I get to my page my old posts do not show, and there are lots of errors on the page.

    At this point, the tool I’m looking for is an import tool from b2 –> WordPress. What if a user had an old b2 blog and a living WordPress blog and just wanted to import records into his tables, not replace his tables?

    Of course, I don’t mind doing a fresh install / conversion – I’m just missing something, perhaps in the wp-config or elsewhere that just isn’t working.
