I guess it was a theme thing? I seems to go away when I switch to a default theme? I was using Penscratch, which really worked for me, but not if it is creating bugginess?

Its not even the post date. I mean the post date changes in admin, but it does not move from the position it was in the post window, the sort order does not change?

I just checked and they are already checked as mandatory? I did a checkout of my own and was forced to submit my address info, but when I get payment info from PayPal there is no address info?

I resolved the issue, there was a link in the xml file that was broken and it stopped the importation process. I removed that one piece and the puzzle worked.

all good!

It seems the issue was that link. I deleted that one line from the xml file adn it went through, not sure why and at this point could care less!!

Thanks so much for your time and thoughts, the error log was the key!!

Here is the error log. It seems to stop when it encounters:

File does not exist: /home/8839/domains/interactivehank.com/html/docs/hanknow/docs

Not sure why it is even attempting to access that directory as neither blog is situated there?

I tried Safari, same problem, slightly different wording in the error page

I started a new thread on the plugin support page, hope I can get through this!!

My server was not collecting errors, I just turned it on, so I will gather error info soon.

I will try another browser. I have had four cahts with my server (Media Temple) they are great, but everything is good in the php.ini and the issues seems to be with the plugin? I am confused that the tutorial does not mention the WP Import Plugin?, yet that is the way to are forced to go, right?

I can see that the xml file uploads, I see the % go to 100, it is the next window where you assign a user to the incoming data that seems to just leave me blank?

Again, no mention of this in the WP Tutorial? I have tried all three options.

Create new user
Use existing incoming user
Use existing User on new site

I would so like this to work. I happen to like this blog a lot and there are more posts there then any other blog I have and it would be great to move it to a self hosted environment so I can be more in control of audio and video uploads.

I guess my lsat resort will be the $129 guided transfer, but I sure hate to spend that money.

This is what the page reads in Chrome after it times out:

No data received

ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data.
Reload this webpage
Press the reload button to resubmit the data needed to load the page.

Yes, but at first they guided me towards an ftp migration article, I am contacting them again about the specifics of the php.ini file. I have direct read and write access to that file right on the server. I just adjusted it last week to allow for large uploads on other sites at my server to 99MB, which is the limit.

It is certainly not an issue with size, but perhaps some other aspect of the php.ini?

Oh, I guess it is not an option becasue I cannot access the wordpress.com files via ftp?

I guess another option is to migrate via ftp, I would just be nervous about all the paths? The image attachments, etc?

Any thoughts?

Henry

I will look into it, thanks very much. I will post the results here.
