  I have been trying to import a .xml file to my wordpress.com site but it just hangs and nothing is loaded to the site.

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

  Hi there,
  Sometimes the importer gets stuck. I tagged this thread with modlook for Staff to reset it for you. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond.

  Hi, which importer are you using?

  I am using Tools –> Import in the WP control panel for the site.

  Okay, from there which one are you picking? Can you send a link? I wasn’t able to find any stuck imports on this site.

  I pick WordPress (2nd from bottom of list)
  i.e. Tools -> Import -> WordPress
  I usually import all but have tried just published pages.

  I am just wondering whether widget settings could cause a problem

  Unlikely… usually when I see hangs, it’s due to some spam comment that’s trying to add scripts and what not.

  I’ll email you so you can send the XML file, then we’ll try on our end.
