  Hi @inmamartin77, I’ll contact you via email to get the import file. Just note we probably will not be able to import pictures unless your local installation is publicly accessible.

  @raymondthebrave
  I spotted something on your blog posts that you need to address ASAP if you want traffic from the wordpress.COM Reader and categories and tags pages and from search engines as well.

  All reasons for non-appearance of posts on Topics pages can be found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts
  The combined total of categories and tags on any post must not exceed 15 or it will not display on Categories and Tags pages and in the WordPress.COM Reader.

  As you have assigned a combined total that exceeds 15 relevant Categories/Tags to your posts, you need to edit and delete. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/ After removal of the excess categories and/or tags note it may take several days for your posts to begin displaying there.

  You are are inadvertently spamdexing AKA tag spamming, and you ought to be more concerned about your posts not appearing and being well ranked on Google and Bing SERPS (search results pages) than not appearing on the WordPress.com Topics pages, because it’s search engines that send a significant flow of traffic to blogs and they can choose to bury your content where the sun don’t shine for that.

  The rule of thumb is to assign to your posts the least, not the most, combined number of only relevant categories and tags that accurately describe the individual post content.

  Hi Timetheif,

  thanks for the quick reply. An autotag plugin put all the tags on the posts by mistake. If I delete all the tags will my other import files work. They also have over 15 tags on the posts.

  I understand the issue with google and having too many tags.

  Maybe it would be nice for worpdress to check the posts and if any has over 15 tags dont import it with a warning or error message.

  Warm wishes
  Raymond

  or maybe reject any post with more than 15 posts and carry onto the next one.

  @raymondthebrave I’ll contact you about the import. We’ll close this thread since the original post is resolved, but if you need more help (not related to the import since I’m contacting you via email for that) go ahead and open a new thread. Cheers!
