Import from Posterous with local backup files
-
I’m trying to import a backup file from Posterous.
It is saved on my hard drive.I browse to the xlm file and it says to check back later.
After a few hours I refreshed the page and I see this error:“Sorry, there has been an error.
The file does not exist, please try again.
Processing…”Does that mean it can’t find the file on my PC?
Should I upload it somewhere else?Thanks

Are you using this guide? http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-posterous/
Have you tried using another browser? http://browsehappy.com
You cannot upload a zip file. Posterous sends you a .zip file which you need to open to retrieve the files inside. Per the guide at http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-posterous/ you’ll need to upload the wordpress_export_1.xml file, not the one you tried to import.
