    I made a fresh WP2.1 install and want to import my posts. However either of the importers under Admin > Manage > Import return a blank screen only. All other admin functions seem to work normally.

    Anyone a clue?

    Unfortunately there was nobody to rescue me. So I hacked my way out of it. First I changed the php settings so I would see the errors.

    First error
    Cannot redeclare class wp_import in ../wp-admin/import/wordpress.php on line 3

    Solution: modified line 83 of wp-admin/admin.php.

    from:
    include(ABSPATH . "wp-admin/import/$importer.php");

    to:
    include_once(ABSPATH . "wp-admin/import/$importer.php");

    Second error
    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare write_post() (previously declared in ../wp-admin/admin-functions.php:4) in ..//wp-admin/admin-functions.php on line 3

    Solution: changed lines 5 and 6 from “wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php”

    from:

    require_once(ABSPATH . '/wp-admin/admin-functions.php');
require_once(ABSPATH . '/wp-admin/admin-db.php');

    to:

    require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/admin-functions.php');
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/admin-db.php');

    Now it works. You won’t see the normal WordPress admin interface but only the import page. Ugly but you won’t use it often anyway. I may be advisable to undo the changes after importing to make sure nothing gets broken.
