    Hi. I just upgradded from Wordpress 2.1 to 2.5.1, and one of the first things I tried to set up were the tags by trying the so-called easy import process. It didn’t work. It did tell me I have 4642 tages, and 5000 tags-to-post relationships, but when I went to step #3 I got:

    Done! 0 tags were added!

    Needless to say I am not pleased. UTW helped alot in getting my blog visibility, I am sad to see it go. Any ideas how I can import the tags to the posts? The thought of doing them all over again by hand is more than I bear…

    Are you using the new wordpress database or with the old database? You should use back the old database and do an automatic upgrade on it. Then go to import utw tags under manage->import. it wont work if you use export database to new version.
