  Hello!

  I accidentally imported wrong blog from Blogger and then added another on top. I decided to clear the blog all out and deleted all content imported. Now I’m not able to import a new version instead. It says ‘Your file has been successfully uploaded. We will begin processing your import right away.’ Then nothing happens, tried many times. Can you help? I would like to start over fresh but keep the address of the site.

  This is the site: https://kaupunkimartat.wordpress.com/

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there,

  Sorry you are experiencing some difficulties with your Blogger import not working. I am happy to help you try to resolve this issue.

  To begin, have to followed the steps outline in this WordPress.com support document, specifically regarding importing your Blogger content using the WordPress.com import tool?
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/coming-from-blogger/

  In addition, to the above link, you can learn more about manually exporting from Blogger in this guide from Google: https://support.google.com/blogger/answer/41387?hl=en&rd=1

  If you are still experiencing difficulties, after looking through this document and following the steps, please do not hesitate to check back here, and I will be happy to help you further.

  Note: If your export file from Blogger is larger than 15 MB, staff can assist you with the import

  I am going to go ahead and add the modlook tag for staff to confirm that the steps I have provided are correct. Also, if there is something happening behind the scenes that neither you or I can fix that may be causing the issue, they should be able to see it.

  Hope this helps to guide you in the right direction :)

  Hi @kaupunkimartat, I’ve confirmed the import isn’t running anymore, but if you’re having trouble still, please try importing here:
  https://kaupunkimartat.wordpress.com/wp-admin/admin.php?import=blogger

  Also, be sure you’re exporting the content from Blogger, rather than a layout.

  Lastly, I’ve started the process to empty your site. It will be done within the next few minutes.
