Thanks Haredik for pointing the wrong timestamp on comments. Infact this is a bug in Squible, it displays the “Post Timestamp” with the comments as well. I changed the theme’s comments.php and it works fine now.

Yes, after installing UTW, it is working fine…

Thank you…

One more thing, I noticed that dates at your site are not proper… It shows Tuesday, April 4th, 2006 for today’s post!

Hardik I think your problem is that you don’t have UTW (Ultimate Tag Warrior) plugin on your WP install. UTW gives you the option to treat Categories as Tags ahd handles it on its own.

Hi,

This is a useful information. I am also trying to move my jroller weblog to wordpress. Also, I am impressed by this theme. In this theme, I am getting errors like:

Tags
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: show_tags() in …/html/blog/wp-content/themes/squible/single.php on line 153

I think my current wordpress supports “Categories” while this theme requires “Tag” system. So, how can I migrate from categories to tag?

Thanks.

Please ignore my last comment. Your macro works just fine in roller 1.2. Not sure what I was doing wrong initally, but after creating a new template it worked fine.

Thanks for great information on importing into Wordpress from Roller. Unfortunately for me I am using Roller 1.2, which looks to not have a few of the functions that you show using in your macro. If anyone has a Roller 1.2 script that works please let me know. Thanks again for the article and pointing me in the right direction.
