  I am an admin on a WordPress blog at Columbus State University. I have tried on several occasions to export all posts from my present blog http://cephotography.wordpress.com/ to a new one rankinartsphotography.com. I have used the import/export features and have never been able to get all the posts to import. Twice I got all the posts up till Sept. 2010, and the last time (yesterday) got nothing. Please help. Thanks, Kenny Gray: [Email removed by staff]

  Hi Kenny,

  It looks like some of the posts that were previously imported are now in your Trash folder:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/

  Because those posts are still on your account, the importer thinks it’s already uploaded them so it’s skipping over any of the posts in your current import process to avoid duplicates. You’ll need to permanently delete those posts by going to your Posts -> Trash folder and using the Delete Permanently option from the drop-down menu at the top of the page.

  Once you’ve removed these posts, can you try the import process once more? If you’re still having trouble, please let us know.
