Problems with the import from a Movable Type 3.2 blog

  1. I have received a email saying that the import was successful but the blog is empty, noting was imported. I'm trying a second time.
    The import is from a Movable Type 3.2 blog with 1822 entries.
    Blog url: http://cainha.wordpress.com/

  2. Hi there,
    This is to let you know the thread has been flagged for Staff attention as we Volunteers answering questions cannot help with import issues.

  3. About how soon after you start the import do you receive the completion email?

  4. Between half an hour and an hour, both times

  5. Would please make sure that the export file has a .xml extension? If it does not, try adding/replacing the file extension and try the import again.

  6. The file is a txt, because this is the way my previous blog exported it. I replaced the extension, just like you suggest,but it didn't work. Thanks anyway

  7. Would you please upload the file via Media -> Add New in your blog's Dashboard so we can take a look?

  8. I did the file upload. Because it was a txt file (that is not accepted by the system) I add a odt extension to it. Hope you can help me. Thanks

  9. Hm, the file looks fine to me. Would you please try exporting a fresh copy, then attempt the import again, with the .xml file extension?
