  • Hi there,

    I’ve reset the importer on your site so you can try again.

    However, please note we have a 15Mb file size limit on import files. If your export file is bigger than this, please try doing an incremental export instead where you only export a few months’ worth of content at a time, or else you’ll need to use an XML Splitter app to split the file into smaller pieces before you import them.

    Hi All,
    I’m experiencing the same issue: trying to import a 36 MB xml file from tiscali blog and getting the following error message:
    “Importa WordPress
    Using LIBXML_COMPACT Using LIBXML_PARSEHUGE
    Si è verificato un errore.
    Questo non è un file WXR, numero di versione WXR mancante/non valido”.

    Then, I tried splitting the file in 4 parts (using WXR file splitter) but nothing changed (same error message).

    The blog is torredellestelle.wordpress.com

    Could you please help me fix the issue?

    Many thanks in advance

    I don’t see any stuck imports on your site. Can you please create your own thread at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/?new=1 and tag it with “modlook”, and we can help you there.
