What is the file extension of your import file, how large is it, and did you try importing it as a TypePad import or as a Blogger import?

Did you use TP2WP's conversion service? If so, you'll need to import your converted file into a self-hosted version of WordPress, rather than WordPress.com. This is because our method of converting a TypePad site to WordPress requires using our custom version of the WordPress importer, which is only available on self-hosted WordPress sites.

Please contact me directly at [email redacted] if you used our converter and need assistance.

I deleted all my posts from the WordPress blog and verified that they're all on the TypePad export. I think maybe someone needs to be reset on WordPress's end, as it seems the file uploads fine, and it says it's successful, but no posts appear. Sorry for the frustration... any suggestions are appreciated! I've spent most of my day at this... :-)

Hopefully this helps others.

I'm using a Mac. When I downloaded the export file from TypePad, it saved to my Mac with the extension .txt.

That file uploaded to WP fine, I even got the email advising my import was successful. But no posts appeared.

I changed the extension of the import file to .xml, and this time the import worked fine.

Looks like something to do with Mac/Typepad using a .txt extension when downloading the file from Typepad.

Would be a help if this highly useful snippet was included in the help pages for import.

Hello, I exported my blogs from typepad and saved as .txt then I followed the instructions from the site above. I was able to upload the file, and it asked me to select an author. After that, it took a few seconds, then I was left with a blank white screen (with the wordpress navigation bar and header still there). No error message was received, but no posts were uploaded either. I tried multiple times to no avail. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
