It still works with WordPress 6.1 and PHP 8.1
]]>I’m trying to use the “Import Livejournal” plugin. I know my username and password are correct; I can log into LJ with ease. However, when I try to run the plugin, it returns an error:

Any bright ideas?

]]>A lot of duplicated comments obtained in WP after import LJ.
To remove duplicates I used MySql scripts.
Potentially some duplictes can exist after running script, but in practice I did not experienced with this. This is in case when there are two duplicated comment: one with minimum id among duplicates, other – with child comments under it.
If you are going to apply it, you should should beckup your data first.
SQL scripts follow:
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE __comments_dup AS
(
SELECT DISTINCT wp1.<code>comment_ID</code>
FROM <code>wp_comments</code> AS wp1
INNER JOIN <code>wp_comments</code> AS wp2
WHERE wp2.comment_ID < wp1.comment_ID
AND wp2.comment_content = wp1.comment_content
AND wp2.comment_date_gmt = wp1.comment_date_gmt
AND wp2.comment_parent = wp1.comment_parent
AND wp2.comment_author = wp1.comment_author
AND
(SELECT COUNT(<code>comment_ID</code>) FROM <code>wp_comments</code> AS wp3 WHERE wp3.comment_parent = wp1.comment_ID) = 0
);
DELETE FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_ID IN (SELECT comment_ID FROM __comments_dup);
DROP TEMPORARY TABLE __comments_dup;
UPDATE wp_posts SET comment_count = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM wp_comments WHERE
wp_comments.comment_post_ID = wp_posts.ID AND wp_comments.comment_approved = 1)[Moderator Note: Please post code & markup between backticks or use the code button. Your posted code may now have been permanently damaged by the forum’s parser.]
]]>All my posts seemed to have moved over, correctly dated, and with comments. But the html is moved over as text. So, instead of an image, I see image tags. I see formatting code at the start of every paragraph and wherever there were italics or bolds. And a post which had one comment said it had 13 — it did: 13 copies of the same comment.

]]>From a Google search it seems this is a common problem.
I have a LiveJournal site with over 1500 posts and 21,000 comments. Importing works fine; all the posts import correctly. The comments import, but often end up attached to incorrect posts.
Comments that are attached to the wrong post are usually erroneously listed as being made by “anonymous.” Some of these posts are from people with LiveJournal accounts, some are not. (Some of them are even comments that I have posted!)
Some, but not all, of the comments that come in attached to the wrong posts end up “pending” rather than “approved”.
There is no rhyme or reason to the posts that the comments end up getting assigned to; they don’t get assigned to posts that are, for example, one or ten or a hundred posts away from the proper post. However, it is always consistent. If I delete the entire database and re-run the import 10 times, all 10 times the same comments will be attached to the wrong posts and they will be attached to the same posts.
Dates, times, and content of the comments always get imported correctly. Post authors, post numbers, and post thread numbers always get imported incorrectly.
There is no relationship between the correct post number of a comment that is imported incorrectly and the comment’s thread number (for example, I had thought that perhaps commets were getting assigned, say, to post 80632 if their parent comment number was 80632, but that does not seem to be the case).
I can give specific examples of the data being returned from LiveJournal and the data as WordPress importer sees it. In one example, a comment is coming in from LiveJournal with the following information:
jitemid: 392101
parentid: 6843045
posterid: 2517416
But when the import plugin parses the comments, if I look in $matches[1] in the part of the plugin that examines the XML of the comments, for some reason it’s coming back with
jitemid: 238112
parentid: 0
posterid: 0
Everything else (the comment body and so on) is OK. I don’t know if there’s a subtle error in the regex (I suck at regex!) or if it’s not starting correctly at the header of this particular comment or what. When this comment is imported, it also ends up pending rather than approved.
Like I said, the failures are consistent. This particular comment ALWAYS ends up assigned to jitemid 238112.
Recent comments seem more prone to this problem than older comments. My blog has about 21,000 comments, about 1,000 of which end up attached to the wrong post and pending rather than approved, and another several thousand of which end up approved but still attached to the wrong post.

]]>I’ve just raised a bug on the WP core about the way it encodes cookies. I think this is responsible for comment import failing since LJ mucked about with the cookies (unless it’s in fact that WP recently started encoding them: I didn’t check).
If you’re encountering the same problem and are OK with hacking PHP, there’s a work-around mentioned on the bug.

]]>I’ve imported my LiveJournal posts. The importer failed the first two times, but then worked. The posts show up just fine, problem is, the comments don’t show up at all. They’re in the dashboard and show as being connected to the posts, but on my site, the comment count remains zero and they don’t show up.
Needless to say, I was hoping someone could help me fix it. :]

]]>I’m using version 3.0.3, but that apparently isn’t an option.
I tried using the LJ importer tonight on my Livejournal account, which houses posts from 2000-2010. It managed to fetch posts from 2003-2006 (I’ve no idea why it didn’t start at the beginning) before dropping dead and giving me this message:
Fatal error: Call to a member function step1() on a non-object in /home1/(domain)/public_html/(name)/ljposts/wp-content/plugins/livejournal-importer/livejournal-importer.php on line 22
Any ideas how to fix this?
