  Hi there,

  I tried to import into one of my sites: http://www.inuitslespremierscanadiens.com, and it imported most of the posts, except for the posts I had under the same name already. My goal was to overwrite the old ones with the new ones from the import, but it seems that it kept the old ones only. Could you guys help me with this?

  Thanks

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

  Hi there,

  When you import posts, the importer skips any posts with the same name to avoid overwriting your existing content. If you don’t want that, you’ll need to completely delete those posts before doing the import. (You can send each of those posts to the Trash, and then delete them permanently from the trash to completely remove them.)

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
