does not continue importing after initial import

Hi pekos,

for the moment there is no way to continue a step already done, in your case, posts have been already imported, so, the plugin simply skips these.

Maybe in a future release I could implement this functionality, I should think about it.

Best regards
Yuri

Hi yurifari

i don’t think it’s a big deal to update your plugin to include this feature. Of course this is me saying that, being lazy, trying to encourage you to update your plugin, but i what i see is the following:

when i hit the continue button i can see that the counter of the already imported posts is there and next to it i assume is the counter of the total posts from the blogger site. Therefore i assume you already count imported posts and total blogger posts. So if there is a difference in these counts, then the plugin could try to fetch new (not yet imported) posts from blogger.

But again this is me just saying…

Hi yurifari

I have similar issue. I use Blogger for my initial posts then import to WordPress any new posts for my Podcast since blogger not compatible with iTunes podcasts. I did this daily for 3 years until as of late when the blogger importer is no longer supported. I found your importer but your plugin is not updating with new posts. Please Help.

Hi Yurifari,

first of all thanks for making this plugin! As I didn’t know there was only one import possible, I imported all my blogposts some time ago as a try-out, but continued to work on my blogger-blog untill I had finished the layout of the wordpress one. As I tried to do an import of these new blogs, I noticed the plugin didn’t do anything, so I thought that removing all the thus far imported Posts would make him “realise” there were new things to import, but off course now I don’t have any blogs imported neither can I “redo” the import. Removing the plugin and installing it again doesn’t fix it either, so I would be extremely grateful if you could add the option of continuing an import.

Thanks for your help!

First of all, thanks for he plugin. It was a savior when the blogger importer stopped workign and I had to fix it overnight. Thanks a lot for that.

I have the same situation as the above user:

– Imported all with blogger, then it stopped.
– Imported with this plugin (it duplicated, but deleting extra ones was no big deal – so did a quick fix)
– After a month, when I tried to fix the blog, this one stopped working, I thought deleting all and re-importing everything might be better – I deleted everything, when trying to reimport, it does show the 151 entries and shows as done, but the posts are not imported. I deleted the plugin several times, reinstalled, re-linked to blogger, but nothing is working now. Please help.

Thanks again.

The author sort of addressed this in a prev thread.

if you have access to the database you can run this query:

DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE ‘bie_status_%’;

Thank you so much brandMatt for addressing my question and thanks to the author as well. If I may ask, where do I enter this code? I am a non-techie as hence such a basic question.

Thanks in advance,
Sonal

Actually I did find a place where to enter the code but what exactly should I enter? I copied and pasted the above and that didn’t work. Thanks.
