  I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up and they will reset the importer for you. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  For instructions on how to do a Xanga import, please see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-xanga/

  Note that you must open the .zip export folder you get from Xanga and import ALL of the files included in the .zip folder individually.

  If you continue to have trouble with your import, please try a different browser. You might also try the WordPress importer rather than the Xanga-specific importer.

  Hi there! Can you tell me which blog of yours had the failed import? I’m seeing one on this blog:

  grad602tlt.wordpress.com

  And looks like it’s successful. Can you confirm this? Thanks!

  You are correct. I went back, deleted the first blog, recreated it with a different theme, and then imported, and it worked.

  Thanks!
