  I imported my Blogger blog to WorkPress. At the end of the process, I only see the titles and categories imported but no content. How can I get the content to import as well?

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

  Hi there!

  Have you told Blogger that WordPress.com can access your Blogger account? Here’s a link where you can click “authorize”:
  https://ysolmaz.wordpress.com/wp-admin/admin.php?import=blogger

  Once that happens, let me know if you still have problems. We may have to empty your blog and start the importer again.

  Let me know how that works. Thanks!

  Yes, I had to authorise WordPress before I could even start the import process. The autorisation was fine; the import went fine, but the blog body hasn’t been copied over. Just the titles. I thought the Blogger feed settings might have something to do with it so I changed the Feed option in Blogger to “Full” so all content is in the Feed. Now, when I try to re-import, nothing happens. WordPress thinks it’s already imported everything already. So I deleted all posts and tried the import again. Still nothing. I can’t seem to import my content over…

  You also need to empty the trash of the posts you deleted. Go to this page and click “empty trash” button:
  https://ysolmaz.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=trash&post_type=post

  If you don’t empty the trash, the importer still sees the posts are there and will skip them when you try to import again. Once you empty the trash, try your import again. I’ve also reset the importer on our end, so you should be set.

  If you continue to have trouble, please let me know.
