  Hi,

  I’m having an issue when trying to import my Posterous backup XML – the error suggests the file isn’t an XML file when it clearly is.

  Assistance in rectifying this issue would be appreciated.

  Thanks,
  Rich

  Hi, I had the same problem when trying to import the xml file from the poterous backup using Internet Explorer.

  However I tried importing the same xml file using Opera and it worked perfectly, so I’d suggest trying to use a different browser.

  Hope this helps.

  Thanks for the tip – I just tried with Firefox but no joy.

  Just to be sure, what is the name of the file you’re uploading?

  Feel free to send the .xml file to us by e-mail. This way we can import the file into your WordPress.com blog.

  Thank you!

  Hi,

  I emailed the xml to support on Wednesday – how long for the turnaround?

  Cheers,
