Ok so I just found a quick hack to get b2evo posts into WordPress, I’m not sure if it will work for everyone but because I only had about 60 posts. This seems to import the content of the post but not categories and tags, not sure what else is missing though.
As long as the rss file is below 2MB you should be all sweet, I’m going to guess around average 800/900 posts (depending on content) should be OK (just change the amount until the file is below 2MB). After that I imagine you could delete those which were imported safely and then repeat.
(2 megabytes)(MAX) / (130 kilobytes)(My File) = 15.753
58 Posts in 130kb
58 * 15 = 870 posts? //rounding down. better be safe than sorry

The old blog is currently residing at www.alexsleat.com/index2.php until I find a way of importing b2evolution to wordpress, if I can’t I might have to spend 30mins or so copy & pasting the most important posts. Luckly I never posted that many on b2evo, I’ll look at getting my OLD OLD blogger ones here too..

What you will need:
The latest WordPress (www.wordpress.org)
000webhost account (www.000webhost.com)
Instructions:

MySQL database example
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', '******_wp');
/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘******_admin’);
/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’);
/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysql2.000webhost.com’);
Done & done.
Extra:
If you wish to edit your themes you may have to change the permissions, for this I used FileZilla and browsed to the themes folder, right click on this and change the permissions to 777.
In order to be able to upload files, pictures etc you need to create an directory called “uploads” in the “wp-content” and again change the file permissions to 777.
