Actually, sorry, my spinning wheel issue was never resolved. The import was working before I upgraded to 3.5.1. I then went the route (see link above) to the WordPress.com import, which did seem to work once I redownloaded the newest Posterous export file.

I was using 3.5.1

I just got this error as well, with WordPress 3.5.1. This is separate from another issue I am having with a separate blog where the importer only imports up to 250 posts. For this new blog attempt of mine, it imports 0 posts as the spinner spins.

@dllh I posted it on WordPress.com here:
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/posterous-importer-did-not-import-any-posts?replies=1

The public post was the only option it would give me. Is that what I should do?

Thanks again for all the help.

Good call on the difference. For some reason the WordPress.com importer says it is complete, but actually does not import any posts. I hope one of these avenues will start working, but I’m not sure what might get them to start.

I really appreciate the quick replies!

Unfortunately, when you start the importer over, it goes through the first 250 and skips them, appropriately (since they are already imported). It then stops after checking the 250th post.

As for the download, I have done that. However, it is a few hundred megabytes and the WordPress.com importer only allows up to 15mb.

Any other ideas?

abrudtkuhl, thanks for creating this. I switched to your plugin and am still getting the 403 error. Any other ideas?
