  I’ve been trying to import my old .ORG wordpress blog to my new one, the XML file is about 12 MB and the importer has been stuck on “Processing” for over a week. Anyone know how to manually reset the importer so I can try again?

  I’m going to break the XML file up into per-year pieces so the files are smaller fr my next try. Its frustrating to see many others have had this problem, but the only resolution so far has been for a Happiness Engineer to reset the importer for us. There must be a way to do this ourselves?

  I may just have to file a bug with WordPress Trac on this issue if there is no way to manually reset the thing. 12 MB is a pretty reasonable file size IMHO. I’m hoping some other users here have figured out some workaround.

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

  It looks like your importer has already been reset.

  Please feel free to try again.
