Export Comment Username Problems
-
When I export from wordpress.com then import to my own server with 2.2.1, the names of the commenters have extra characters around them. IE:
<![CDATA[sgtbenc]]>If I leave it as is, the names will not show up while being viewed under the post.
You can check it out at: 208.109.250.42/~sgtbenc

You’ll probably get a better response from the WordPress.org forums, since they deal with importing from WordPress.com and we don’t. Similar advice for your API query, although later there might be someone around here who can help.

I haven’t had this problem before with importing from other wp installations. I thought it might be something a new way that wordpress.com stored the commenter’s names.

Do a manual find/replace on the XML file in a text editor looking for <![CDATA[ and replacing it with blank text. Also replace ]]> with blank text.
I had to do this, and it works fine once you get rid of those extra bits. Don’t know why this happens.

I am having same problem, maybe there has been a change in the syntax of the exported file?
Thanks darentries, I’ll try find and replace

I am having the same nightmare. No one is answering my query in wordpress.org.
I also tried to erase all CDATA craziness and imported the xml file again.
Comment author still not showing!

WordPress.org is not famous for their responsiveness, but we here cannot help you. Sorry.
