  Hi there,
  I am currently trying to import files from my old blog to my new one but to no avail. I have been through the normal procedure but when I try to assign authors i get the following message:

  ‘File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini file or by post_max_size being defined as smaller than upload_max_filesize in php.ini’.

  WP.com: Unknown
  Jetpack: Unknown
  Correct account: Unknown

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

  Hi @tndotj,

  If your XML file is rather large, you may need to export your content in smaller chunks, based on date.

  Can you please share the blog URL’s that you’re trying to migrate to/from? Do you get the error when not assigning authors?
