How can I get text to port properly from Blogger to WordPress

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m trying to import from http://www.lilyc.blogspot.com to http://www.lilycblog.wordpress.com. The entry titles are showing, as well as the number of comments. However, none of the actual text in the comments nor entries is getting imported. I tried exporting a file from blogger and importing to WordPress, but that didn’t work either. Please help! THANKS!

    I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble. Can you let me know if you’ve written any posts on your WordPress.com blog? Or if they’ve all been transfered from Blogger?

    Could you also send us your XML file here?

    Hi Evarlese,

    Thanks for your prompt reply. I have sent my XML file to you as instructed.

    The only entry that I input manually directly in WordPress is the most recent entry. (Titled: Getting Out Of The Gate). It is the only one with text at time time.

    Cheers,
    Lily

    Hi Lily,

    Thanks for forwarding that to us. The reason I asked about which posts were from Blogger is because it will be easiest for us to start over and then do the import process once more. If those site titles are present, the importer will skip over them as duplicates.

    Would it be okay with you if, after running a test import of your XML file, we empty the blog but backup your WordPress.com entry?

    That would be fine.

    Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it, as I tried many times to re-import with no success.

    Cheers,
    Lily

    Great! I was able to import your Blogger XML file on a test blog myself. I’ve just emptied your blog, except for “Getting Out Of The Gate,” and restarted the import process.

    If the import hasn’t finished within 24 hours, can you reply back on this thread?

    Thanks!
