How do I Publish my imported posts in another page on WordPress

  • Unknown's avatar

    Recently, I imported the posts from my blog at Blogger to WordPress by using a blogger export file, and now I saved the posts as drafts. That blog was about another topic, so I created another page in my wordpress blog for the posts in that blog. Now how do I publish those imported posts from Blogger to the new page I just created at WordPress besides the home/main page?
    Please I need the answer desperately because there are above 20 imported posts from the Blogger blog and I can’t start writing them all over again.

    Anything help you can offer is highly appreciated.

    Hi. You can’t publish a post on a page. Posts and pages are two separate things:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

    You could create a category like “old Blogger entries” or whatever you wish and assign that category to the drafts in question, once they become posts:

    Well, okay, I’ll do that, but it would have been better if what I said was possible. Anyway Thanks airodyssey

    If you have all the Blogger entries with the same Category (a Post can be a member of more than one category) you can use a Custom Menu entry to sort all the Blogger entries to a listing that looks like a Page.

    Menus

    Not exactly what you ask for but it should look the same. You could also use a Text Widget in the Sidebar to have a click on sort of your Blogger entries to display them.

    hi,
    recently i transferred to wordpress from live spaces. i can’t find
    the many blogs post i worked on. I had really cool page,photos,
    lists,etc. And is now all lost. i feel cheated. They say it
    will automatically switch and 90% of work is gone. I haven’t the
    foggiest. Only thing i found is how you can see your
    lists again. Their happiness engineers say to edit and copy
    content to wordpress. Does this mean like to retype and redo
    by making a printout and looking from your hand? this is
    mind boggling and we need something simpler to retrieve the
    creative work we have done. and what do they mean by happiness
    engineers that they have taken our hard work?

    @vicky, read the two posts in the yellow at the top of the main forum pages here about live spaces migration.

    Some imports are having problems, but NONE of your stuff is lost. MS did not delete anything and the staff here at wordpress can either reset the import function for you or they can move things over for you if that is necessary. What you have to do is to contact them directly with your information.

    Contact

    Again, NONE of your stuff is lost.

    The blog comes here. Lists, albums, etc are still at Microsoft.

    @vickyruane
    Staff will help you with the impoirt if required but please note that the following items do *NOT* come over in the import process:

    1. Photos that were in albums but not within posts
    Photos that weren’t used in posts are not part of the import process because they aren’t actually part of the Windows Live Spaces blog. They are part of the Photos or Skydrive service. The photo albums from Skydrive are always accessible and aren’t going anywhere. Anyone can find them at http://photos.live.com/.

    2. Modules

    3. Lists
    Please see here > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/live-spaces-retrieving-your-lists?replies=1

    4. Pending/draft posts
    Right now, the draft posts are trapped in limbo and WordPress.com Staff are communicating with Live Spaces about them.
