If you run the import but images don't get imported or certain images are missing, just let us know, and we can try to run a tool on your site that does a special import to "fill in" any missing images.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I have 500+ posts all containing images, so manually re-uploading the images isn't an option. The export option offered by Movable Type and the import option offered by WordPress.com seems to be limited currently to only posts/pages. Is this true?

Thanks,
Jonathon

Now, when I try to do the re-import, none of the entries "take."

Any way to fix this?

According to other posts, the importer may need to be reset.
Can someone reset it?

Btw, I received an e-mail saying the import was successful right after importing. (which didn't work)
It's been over 24 hours and I still see the "processing" message on the Movable Type page.
It's stuck.

The importer for the Movable Type has possibly been stuck.

The page displayed after importing one file reads the following and it doesn't refresh.
Therefore, I can't import any more:

Processing…
We're processing your import now and will send you an email when it's all done. If you don't hear from us within 24 hours, please contact support, and we'll get everything fixed.

I tried Chrome, FF and IE.
Could someone help me? Thank you in advance.

I have done hundreds of these migrations, however this blog is different.

In Movable Type 3, the blog URL is as follows:

http://blog_name.com/articles/aaeccaacaaeeeaaaaaaaeecaiiii/

After migrating the content to WordPress, WordPress actually displays the Chinese characters insead of the /aaeccaacaaeeeaaaaaaaeecaiiii as shown below:

http://migrated_blog_name.com/articles/因出资瑕疵引发的公司诉讼-跨国公司在华公司诉/

Does anybody have any ideas how I can either...

1. Have WordPress use the /aaeccaacaaeeeaaaaaaaeecaiiii (automatically - so we don't have to manually modify a thousand posts)
2. Somehow have the /aaeccaacaaeeeaaaaaaaeecaiiii translated into Chinese characters so WordPress can continue to use /因出资瑕疵引发的公司诉讼-跨国公司在华公司诉/

Do they allow you to export separate months or categories?
