Import does not work. Import is a txt file(77kb) in MT format. But have received a email saying import is successful. I have the exact same issue as this user below

https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/why-is-import-not-working-with-my-exported-typepad-file?replies=12
I get to this page then
“Below, you can see the names of the authors of the MovableType posts in italics. For each of these names, select one of the blog’s users as the author.”

There is only one option in the box. When I click “submit” I’m left with an empty white space with just a help button top right, and a line of text at the bottom:
“Thank you for creating with WordPress • Support • Forums • Learn WordPress — Tutorials and Walkthroughs”

thanks

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

As your issue is the same issue why don’t you post into that thread you linked to above? https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/why-is-import-not-working-with-my-exported-typepad-file?replies=12

Thank you
I’ve done that and emailed the text file referencing the two threads to Support.

Hi there,

Thank you for sending your file over. I just re-imported it, and it looks like it worked this time around. :) Please take a look and let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

I have 28 blog posts to my credit before my old computer died. I have a new one which runs Windows 8 and the current version of Microsoft Office.
I composed my piece in MS Word and then cut and pasted it to my site
The World According to Jud without a problem, like I always have. After editing the piece so it looked neat and presentable, I saved the draft. Here’s the problem.
When I hit Preview Post, the piece looked nothing like the draft I had saved. All the structure was gone and the piece looked like it was meant to be poetry rather than an article. I have tried everything I know of, and cannot solve this dilemma. And as much as I’m dying to publish this piece, I will not as it looks now. Someone please help!

@wjudson461 – This is a different issue from the one in this thread. Can you please start a new forum thread with your question so we can track your issue separately? Thanks!
