import XML file, "work in progress" permanent message
-
Hi, I tryed to “import” a big XML file from my desktop to my new blog.
But now I see a “work in progress” message in my “import tool” page.
In my blog I can see 80% of my archive pubblished, but not the woole archive, and the “work in progress” will never end.
Please unlock my tool.
Than, I can upload some smaller XML files. I have some mountly files.XML to import.
My blog is
ilpensierodioggiblog.wordpress.commy import – tool page is:
https://ilpensierodioggiblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/admin.php?import=wordpressI speak italian language, but I can also understand english language.
Thank you,
michelelecchiThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
I have deleted the import job. Can you please try running the import again? Uploading smaller XML files definitely helps importing your site over successfully.

If it fails again, please let us know and we can investigate further for you. Many thanks!

I’m sorry, but the trouble was not resolved.
I tryed to import a much smaller file.XML, (it contains only one mouth of my old posts) but the tool page continues to display a “work in progress” message, and I do not see the posts (genuary 2006) in my blog.
I also have opened a second blog, (without doin anything) but I think it will be with the same trouble. -
Hi there,
Sorry you are having trouble. I deleted the import job again.
A few things:
- How large are the smaller XML files you are trying to import?
- What platform are you importing from? Are you importing from another WordPress blog? Xanga?
- What browser are you using while attempting the import? Some browsers such as IE 8 and 9 are not compatible with the importer. Try a different browser to see if the file imports successfully.
With those things above in mind, try to import again and let me know if you have any success. If not, I will see what we can do to get the import over to WordPress successfully.
Thanks!

The first file-XML is large 8120 KB (it contains post from a blog from genuary to december 2006). It was uploaded only from march to december 2006.
The second file-XML I tryed to import is large 628 KB (it contains only post from a blog only from 1 mounth, genuary 2007). But WordPress never imported it.Today I have opened a new blog, …it is:
http://ipdo2006.wordpress.com
and I tryed to import the file with posts from Genuary 2006.
Wordpress has imported thoose post correctly, but the tool page “import files” still show me the “work in progress” message again.
You have to delete the import job every time I try to import something. Why?Thoose files come from my old blog:
http://ilpensierodioggi.blogs.it
We know that the http://www.blogs.it community will close at 2015 December 15, and we must migrate to worpress before the shut down.
I am using GoogleChrome Versione 37.0.2062.120.Can You help me?

Hi there,
I checked the importer and it says that it has completed.
Have you checked to see if all your content from your old blog has transferred over to ipdo2006.wordpress.com successfully?
Let me know, thanks!

The page:
https://ipdo2006.wordpress.com/wp-admin/admin.php?import=wordpress
still display the “work in progress” message.Over my blog:
https://ipdo2006.wordpress.com/
the file il-pensiero-di-oggi_2006_03.xml
was NOT completely transferred: only 6 post for the “march 2006” mouth, but they must be 35 posts!
They come from this blog, march 2006:
http://ilpensierodioggi.blogs.it/2006/03/
Why the import job was incomplete?
(I need to import files from 2006 to 2015, mouth by mouth, …it will be a hard and long work, and I’m so worried…..) :( -
Things are going better with the blog:
http://pensierodioggi.wordpress.com
I set this as my primary blog.
…but the work is long, I have imported only a little part of my old blog.…to be continued…

Hi there,
Let me know if you are still in the process of moving the blog over or if you’re still encountering problems.
If so, I will see if we can import the file over for you.
Thanks!

Hi, there.
After some import jobs, a lot of post was not published: they stay in stand-by as “Draft”.
Why?
How can I publish them without changing their original date?
(if I have a draft from December 2007 I want to publish that article with the date December 2007, and not October 2015).
Can you help me? -
Help me!!!!!
Trying to import my last XML file
il-pensiero-di-oggi_2007_12.xml
the import job is still running after 3 days!!!
I see the message: “work in progress”.
The file size is 955 KB,
…all was going well during the others import jobs (fron september 2015 to genuary 2008, mouth by mouth), but now it was in trouble again! -
Hi there,
I’ll try to import il-pensiero-di-oggi_2007_12.xml on my end. I’ll let you know when I’m done so you can check your blog and see if everything transferred correctly.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Hi there,
In my admin edit posts page I have 41 pending changes Draft:
https://pensierodioggi.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post
(they come from my old posts from my importad XML files)I see that the posts that are in pending drafts are duplicates of posts already published when checking your blog. So, you can delete them since they came over from the import.
In my Import “wordpress” page (after trying to import my file il-pensiero-di-oggi_2007_12.xml ), I still see the “work in progress” message:
https://pensierodioggi.wordpress.com/wp-admin/admin.php?import=wordpressI checked and saw that all 18 posts from your il-pensiero-di-oggi_2007_12.xml file has transferred successfully to your new blog. Is there anything else from that file that you see missing?
Let me know if you have any questions or issues.
Thanks!

Thank you for your help! The files have been imported, and the mission is almoust accomplished. I am very glad!
There is the last question: what about some post missing? Some mouth have less posts than the original.
(this trouble is not big, I can publish thouse posts by myself, one by one, whit “copy-and-paste” from my old blog). I only have the curiosity to know WHY they was not imported…. -
Hey there,
Do you have examples of months where there are less posts on your WordPress blog than the blog you imported your content over from? I’d be happy to take a look.
Thanks!
