Blogger Importer Plugin Not Working
-
I’ve tried to upload my XML file several times and it never works. I’m always sent to a screen that says ‘Import Blogger’ with a submit button, and then
‘All done. Have fun!
Remember to update the passwords and roles of imported users.’
With none of my content present.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
It looks like you’re trying to import a template file from Blogger, not your posts and pages.
Please create a new export file in Blogger, and make sure you select the Content backup option, not the template option. That file should import here correctly.

I checked the file saved in your site logs. The file is full of CSS and does not contain a single post. That is a template file, not a content export file. Both have an .xml extension, but they don’t have the same content.

There are only two export buttons in Blogger- one clearly marked template backup, one marked content backup. I am definitely downloading the content backup!
-
Please open the file you are trying to import in a text editor.
The file appearing in your site logs start with this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><?xml-stylesheet href="https://www.blogger.com/styles/atom.css"If you scroll further down in the file you will see CSS rules in it.
This is the file titled blog-11-14-2016.xml and the last upload attempt was on 2016-11-15 at 05:29UTC on the site, http://fridaywereinlove.wordpress.com/ There are no other import files in the logs for that site, and I don’t see any in-progress imports on it either.
An XML content export file should start with this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><rss version="2.0"...There might be other content as well, but if the RSS tag does not appear in the file it is not a content export.
