Importing blog to WordPress 2.1.2
-
I’d like to import my blog to my newly hosted WordPress v. 2.1.2 blog site. But, it says that WordPress doesn’t import from *new* Blogger. Everyone had to convert to new blogger, although I chose to leave my template unchanged (i.e. in the old style). Is there a date in the near future that it will be possible to import my blog from Blogger to my new independently hosted WordPress site?
Also, in transition, I had already imported my Blogger blog into a WordPress.com free site. It imported all the information, posts, pictures, and all the comments except the last few. I am also unable to successfully import this blog file into my new and independently hosted WordPress blog. I get an error message that a directory cannot be created from the particular file and Is its parent directory writable by the server?
Any help is appreciated.

I would imagine that you need to check the permissions on your /wp-content/ folder so that it is writable by the server. As this is an issue about importing back into a self-hosted blog though, you will have to continue this over in the wordpress.org/support/ forum as the issue is about the self-hosted blog. That being said, it will be a permissions problem on that directory I would imagine.

Thanks, Trent. I’ll go over there and ask. Also, I’ll do as you suggested and check permissions.

It isn’t that we don’t want to give you help on WP self hosted issues, but it makes sense not to cross post as that can confuse those here with wordpress.com hosted solutions! There are many great people at the other forums and you will get it sorted! Good luck!

I understand. It’s not a problem at all. : )
I’m willing to go wherever needed to figure this out.
Have a great evening!
