Hi, could you please also reset my importer (http://reflexionslumineuses.wordpress.com)? I tried to import a WordPress file, but the importer got jammed. Thanks.

I'm all set now. Thanks so much for your help!

Using Firefox worked for another user with a very similar issue this morning.

It's a 6.44 MB .txt file, which is smaller than the one that imported successfully.

All posts and comments are there. But the file that hasn't been working is still a problem. It appears to import, and I get an email saying the import was successful, but nothing from that file appears on the blog. Any other suggestions? I really would like to consolidate at WordPress.

I actually found an older version of the one that wasn't working and tried that (it had more content, I was glad to find it!), but again I get the email saying the Import was successful, but the content does not appear at all. I'm trying the other Typepad file now.

Is the other Typepad file also a .txt file?

It was a file from a blog I had on Typepad, and it's a .txt file. I used their export function to make it.

Let's start over. The blog is http://reflectionarydotnet.wordpress.com, and I've got the Typepad files on my computer and the Blogger posts/comments are still up and available to move, so if you can wipe this one that would be great. When I try again, I'll start with the one that hasn't worked yet.

Just let me know if you'd like me to do that, and confirm which blog (just in case).

If not, the only other option would be to completely empty the whole blog and try the import again from a clean slate.

The first Typepad import went smoothly, but the smaller second file failed to import, according to the email I received from WordPress. When I returned to try it again and clicked on the Typepad/Movable Type link, I got this message:
"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 clicked on that link, but got the message that I can't get support without paying. Sigh. Meanwhile, I was able to successfully import from Blogger. Is it possible to reset the Typepad importer?
Thanks for any help you can give.
