Cannot import my WordPress.com blog

    I have exported my xml file from my WordPress.com blog and tried importing it into my new www.remarpro.com installation.

    The first time I tried, it timed out on step 2 of the install and showed me nothing to continue.

    So, I tried it again, except now (on step 2), it tells me that all my media files already exist. There is no back button, no submit button, nothing to move me farther along in the process of importing…

    My WordPress.com account is lazykdesigns and my www.remarpro.com account is lazykcreative

    I can supply you my login info in a private message or post.

    I should also add that I am seeing some of my media in my new www.remarpro.com installation, but now all my images are duplicated. I don’t want duplicates!

    But no posts or pages are appearing…

    if you followed a tutorial like this one it should be pretty automatic. it may be worth tryign the import again with a fresh wp on www.remarpro.com

    You would think bernbe01. ??

    According to that tutorial, I get as far as Step 3…selecting my xml file, uploading it, selecting admin for posts and choosing the checkbox that also says import media.

    Then nothing…

    Just a blank page that says Import WordPress with no way to continue. And none of my site imported over.

    My file is 4.1 MB, but it says my maximum size is 256 MB, so I don’t see how that’s the problem.

    does this apply to you?

    i’m guessing it does as 4.1mb for the xml file is substanstial

    Bernbe01 my host ended up helping me through it.

    Apparently it’s a glitch with WordPress’s import function.

    But thank you for the help! If you hadn’t found the documentation about it timing out, I never would have contacted my host and we would have never figured it out together.

    THANK YOU!!!

    You are most welcome. Please mark this thread as resolved if you are all set
