  Hi,
  I tried to transfer my content from the file Posterous generated for my blog content. I uploaded the wordpress_export_1.xml, hit submit and received an email that my wordpress import was successful.
  The problem is that I still can not see the imported content on my new wordpress blog. 9 http://www.alexanderdjorgov.wordpress.com

  Can you assist me in that?

  Thanks a lot,

  Alexander

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Are you using this guide? http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-posterous/

  Have you tried using another browser? http://browsehappy.com

  You cannot upload a zip file. Posterous sends you a .zip file which you need to open to retrieve the files inside. Per the guide at http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-posterous/ you’ll need to upload the wordpress_export_1.xml file, not the one you tried to import. Please see what Staff amightywp says in this thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/posterous-download-zip-folder-will-not-extract-for-import?replies=14#post-1242796

  Hi alexdjorgov,

  Please review what timethief noted and let me know if you’ve followed the steps outlined in the support document.

  If so, could you please let me know how large your .xml file is?
