They must be on the same MySQL Server. = I am getting the following error: Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock' = Please check which MySQL server name your webhoster provides - it may be different then "localhost". = What if the plugin stops working during URL change process? = Reload the browser page. Normally the change of URL's works, but sometimes it do not return the generated output. = How to migrate images ? = You have to copy first the images from your Joomla installation to your wordpress installation. This is needed, so that wordpress can determine the correct MIME Type during the add_attachment process. = The migrated content is incomplete or has line breaks in the sentences. = Check your source content on the Joomla side for special characters and the Code Page you are using for your content. THey may cause this problem. = Do I have to change the charset if I have latin1_swedish_ci in my Joomla/Mambo tables? = If you have a table collation of latin1_swedish_ci use the codepage translation from latin1 to utf8 == Screenshots == 1.
