Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about FG SPIP to WordPress

No, it only reads the SPIP database. I get this error: Erreur !: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1193] Unknown system variable 'NAMES' It comes from MySQL 4.0. It will work if you move your database to MySQL 5.0 before running the migration. I get this error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM" You must use at least PHP 5.3 on your WordPress site. I get this error: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2054] The server requested authentication method unknown to the client It is a compatibility issue with your version of MySQL. You can read this post to fix it: http://forumsarchive.laravel.io/viewtopic.php?id=8667 None image get transferred into the WordPress uploads folder. I'm using Xampp on Windows. Xampp puts the htdocs in the applications folder which is write protected. You need to move the htdocs to a writeable folder.

Yes. First you must put these lines in wp-config.php: define('WP_DEBUG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true); And the messages will be logged to wp-content/debug.log. The plugin imports data with wrong encoded characters This is usually due to a wrong encoding in the original database. You must re-encode your SPIP database before running the import. The procedure is described on: http://contrib.spip.net/Convertir-un-site-SPIP-3-en-utf-8-avec-le-plugin (in French).
