Yeah, in the case of my sister’s blog I had to run the import 8 times in order to get everything.

I wish they put up a message when the import is incomplete telling you to try again, or maybe the Import page could contain an instruction letting you know if you don’t see the All Done message to run the import again.

Basically there does not seem to be any problem with running the import multiple times against the same xml file.

That worked!!!

When it actually gets to the very end of the xml file it puts this up at the end:

“All done. Have fun!”

Have fun is a link to your blog.

Yea!!!

I think I just found the answer….

If you have a good xml export you can import the file multiple times. Just being sure to use the same settings each time.

It recognizes the xml entries it has already imported and moves a little further in the file each time. I’ve now run the import 5 times and I’m up to almost 600 posts that have been imported successfully.

I think this is going to work…

samboll,

Thank you so much for the info you provided.

I think the problem I’m having is that the original site is hosted on WordPress.com (I just noticed that it’s .com not .org) where I don’t seem to have access to any other export but the xml one. At least not that I can find.

If anyone can direct me then I will certainly try the method you suggested.

Thanks again!

Tony
