I’m looking to install this on a new client site. Chris released Share Center Pro version 2.4.6 yesterday. If you’ve installed the new version, did it solve the issue?

I can’t comment about the .mov files, my videos were in a different format. But I believe the video reference tutorial you’re looking for is near the beginning of this thread. The tutorial was written by @chezpaul, check this page, and look about 1/2 way down the page. Or search for the reference to GPP Slideshow.

Not sure if you’ve seen it already, but here are the instructions for how to restore the site from a BackWpUp backup.

And I thank you for it, Daryl. ??

Hi Daryl,

You’re right, Posterous does add some unusual divs in their code.
I should have been specific: the markup from wpcom had divs wrapped around every image < div class="p_embed p_image_embed" >.

From the 10+ posts I’ve modified so far, I haven’t seen that. But then I’m adding almost all images to the posts individually via the Media Library.

Hi Daryl,

I tried the export from wpcom multiple times last week. The markup produced was crazy, with divs around paragraphs, and many references to posterous CSS classes.

Hey Daryl,

Thanks for the quick response. I sighed when I checked the first post and saw text content missing. I ran the importer on WordPress.com, and had no issues with missing text content. Not sure what I should be checking for the post type?

Yes, I figured the GPP slideshow plugin was causing the issues with galleries.

Any idea why the message says “skipping ….” multiple times for many of the posts?

I added the two plugins and imported the 300+ posts this morning. Posts were imported, but content (text content) is missing on many of the posts. Posts that had multiple images in them were treated as galleries, even though there weren’t formatted as galleries in the original post. I’m assuming this is due to the GPP slideshow.

I received a 687+ line message in the WordPress dashboard, with over 300+ messages saying “Skipping XXX XXX XXX” for the posts, which ended in a fatal error Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 62173146 bytes) in /xxx/xxx/public_html/wp-includes/class-http.php on line 1152

Looks like I’ll be going through each of the 300+ posts to add content.

Thanks Daryl, appreciate the info. Just confirming, I’m copying the plugin directly into the plugins directory? It doesn’t need to be in a named folder?

Thanks Paul. I don’t use the email function very often. Didn’t know the email in JetPack wasn’t working.

A follow up on your tutorial:

You may want to change Step 10 to: Select Galleries, then Options

An option for people needing to manage their tags after importing: use the Term Management Tool plugin. It allows you to merge terms, move terms from one taxonomy to another, and set parent terms.

Whoa, that was fast. Thanks Paul. I’ll follow up with Daryl.

@chezpaul: Can you point me to the Posterous media plugin? I don’t see it in the WordPress plugin repository.

Daryl, thanks you so much for the information and background. Appreciate the quick reply and pointer to the Posterous beta plugin. I’ll give it a go this weekend.

My posts are mostly images, with a few videos, which I’ll probably do by hand.

Paul, thank you for posting your instructions for the plugin and the need to install the three additional plugins to support audio, video, and slideshows. Good to know ahead of time about the issue with the rotated images.

Again, my thanks to both of you.

@chezpaul – Thanks for the update. I sent a tweet to Daryl, asking if he knew who will be continuing the work on the plugin. #fingerscrossed

@chezpaul: What do you recommend as the best way to reach Daryl? Does he have a beta version available for testing?
