Import WordPress prevents next import for a long time

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am testing import from file in WordPress format and when I’ve selected the file, it shows “Import Processing” page. I was going to https://mfreidge.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php page to view imported posts, see that they have been loaded already,check what I need and want to import another file.
    However it still shows “Import Processing” page (even if I know that import completed):

    Import WordPress
    Processing…
    We’re processing your import now and will send you an email when it’s all done. If you don’t hear from us within 24 hours, please contact support, and we’ll get everything fixed.

    I have to wait 15 min (or even more) before the site allowed me to do next import.

    Is it possible to allow next import immediately after previous one finished?

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

  • Hey, Michael!

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to decrease the time between import tasks because, when you add a new import task, it’s added to a queue and we need to process that queue before adding a new task from the same blog ID.

    Let me know if you need anything else.

    But I know for sure that previous task for the blog ID already finished.

    I am a software developer and I doubt, that it could not be done, if you will consider this as a priority. I believe, that when the import added to a queue, you set some flag for blog ID to show “processing” page.
    At the end of the particular task processing you just need to reset the flag and do not wait until the whole queue will be processed.

    I am suggesting to fix the design, not asking to suggest immediate workaround.
