OMG !!! Hi tleiter, I just tried what you said, delete the empty lines after the tag ?>, and it works like a magic !!!I just could not believe it is as simple as this !!

My webhost was trying to look for everywhere, and I nearly wanted to uninstall and reinstall the whole thing, but still trying to learn how to reinstall but not losing the data. And you tricks some my life !!

Thank you thank you and thank you !! ??

Updates : I just realised that I first have to turn on the ‘pretty permalink’ in order to have the permalink edit option turn on.

a quick note – i tried gecko tube, though this plugin has not been updated for a while, it still works like a magic in my new self-hosted blog transfered from wordpress.com.

cheers

Hi this worked !!
Thanks so much for your quick reply, as always !!
You rock ! The best ever support forum ! ??

Wow ! It worked like a magic !!
Really really thank you !!

Yeah, something were wrong with the import, and I sorted it out (though messily) myself.

Thanks for your help and quick reply !! 5 stars ! ??

Hello all,

I have the similar problems. I have a blog at wordpress.com and want to transfer it to a new domain hosted by other hosting company.

Strangly, for the first import, only 4 of my published posts (4 out of 200+) and all draft posts are transfered, and only a few comments are imported. I uninstalled wordpress,reinstalled, and tried again, similar problems. This time, only drafted posts are imported,none of published or comments are imported.

I looked at the XML files, all posts are there. However, when I looked at the mMySQL DB, only the drafted posts are there.

I am so sorry, I don’t have much knowledge of website management technical terms. I tried very hard to understand the above suggestions, but still failed to know what I should do next.

Dear Johnwar, I am keen to try to import from mySQL DB. However, the link you shared is for backup. Is it possible to import the XML directly to MySQL database? I tried but it did not work.

Dear Erikvisser, I am a little confused with PhpAdmin & MySQL. I assume they are the same thing. Nonetheless, for what you suggested, do I delete wp_postmata, wp_posts, wp_comments, & wp_links in MySQL. And try to re-import through wordpress?

Sorry for long post. I have tried 2 days to do this, and it is driving me crazy !

Thanks in advance ! ??

Hi Caemusic,

Thanks for your advice and the document link. In fact, I have read the document from suggestion from other forum thread. Just like you said, after I read it, I am not sure (and don’t think) if it fits my needs exactly. Nonetheless, thanks for you help !
