    I ran the importer to copy my blogger site to wordpress. But I didnt officially go live with it yet. So I want to run it again to update what changes between the last time and current

    What happens if I run it again, will it copy everything over again and duplicates or will it ignore items that already exist?

    Hey. We released a hotfix on the 23rd of October that only pulls in new content. Because we have to record the date of the initial import, if you imported with a previous version of the plugin (a version downloaded before the 23rd of October) then the date will not have been recorded and you will have to re-import your blog again.

    There shouldn’t be any issues with importing your blog again, but you will have to uninstall the plugin and install the new version in order to let WordPress “forget” that it has already imported your blog (and record the date so you can re-import in future).

    Just to be clear, if you downloaded the plugin after the 23rd of October then you will be able to re-import your blog without any messing about as only newer content will be pulled in ??

    Hope that helps!
