I eventually got everything migrated. For the huge comment thread posts, I ended up splitting the export into single-day files. For normal or low-volume periods, I was able to split the months in half.

I still have the large file if you’re interested in looking at it or trying to see where the disconnect is (for testing purposes only, of course). I did notice that I was using the one from WordPress, not the one you’ve written; maybe yours would have been more straightforward. ??

I might also add that I initially broke the mt-export.txt file up into quarters. For the past year, I’ve done a month at a time. I’ll run the import, it will eventually give me a 500, and then I’ll find the last post, delete from it to the top of the file, and kick it off again.

(Just so you know I’m not trying to run it on a ridiculously large file.)

Did you ever find a resolution to this? It just happened to me… ??
