Export XML file not Importing with 2.8

  • I have moved a lot of content from a wordpress.com blog to a self-hosted wordpress blog over the past 6 months and never had a problem that I couldn’t fix. But I am stuck. I have exported the XML file over at https://www.angiewashington.com (this is wordpress.com – Version 2.8) and now, in trying to import at https://www.scblogdesign.com/angiewashington (self-hosted – Version 2.8)

    It seems like it is opening the file, rather than importing it – I never get to the “Set Authors” option – it just starts pulling up the text from the file then it locks up.

    Please advise. Or fix. Fix would be good.

  • having the same problem. The file is either empty or is not in the correct file format. In either event its quite frustrating!

    I even tried to do a data base dump from my host server, when I imported the data, the process over-rode my permalinks and crashed the plugins even though they were disabled.

    –have to go old school and cut & paste post I want to move. ??

    -at this point I am assuming this will get fixed after the all the bugs are fixed.

    were you able to resolve this? I can’t seem to import my blog from WordPress.com to my new self-hosted 2.8 WordPress site. Only like 65 out of 500 posts will import… baffled! Any ideas?

    Pam: Did you ever get this resolved? I’m having the same problem as we speak and it’s driving me CRAZY!
