  I’m getting more and more disappointed… Nobody replied to my query about import from opera. I am getting constantly “The file is not an xml file. Please see instructions for downloading and using the My Opera backup file.” when I am trying to upload the xml file I downloaded 10 times from opera… Now I cannot find my yesterday’s cry for help. Does wordpress work at all?

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

  I’m sorry you are having this problem, it looks like a few other people have run into the same issue. One thing that fixed it for some was making sure to use the Opera browser when uploading the XML file.

  Perhaps something in one of these discussions could help:

  Yes, you may be right :-)
  The xml file generated in IE could not be read by wordpress in IE. Now I have tried Mozilla to upload the file – and it worked :-)
  Thank you very much!
