Importing blog from self-hosted wordpress installation

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi,

    I am trying to import my blog into wordpress.com My blog is quite large (I think about 90 MB with everything—I have been blogging since 2004) and so keeping in mind, the 15 MB file-limit, I split it into chunks in the export tool. So far, I have transferred 3 fragments. In each case, I got the confirmation mail within one hour. It has been 24 hours since I uploaded my 4th fragment and it still says “Processing”. (The script says that I can contact support once 24 hours have elapsed)

    One thing I did which might/might not be relevant. My 3rd fragment might mistakenly have been the same as the 2nd fragment and though the blog (I have blog entries upto August 2009 transferred) does not show any problem, I wonder if that could be a reason. Again I don’t think it should be, but still.

    Help would be greatly appreciated.

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

    Hi @greatbong, I’ve reset the importer from you. Could you please try importing that file again and let me know how it goes? (And our importer is smart enough not to duplicate already imported content, so no need to worry about that.)

    Thank you. I am trying again. Have uploaded the next xml file. Let’s see what happens.
