  I successfully imported all my posts from Blogger to WordPress but the problem is that the post titles did not import. Therefore now have over 800 posts on WordPress without titles; is there any way to fix this?
  I don’t want to publish my site before this problem is fixed.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,

  Can you point me to some specific posts that don’t have titles?

  I checked the file you imported to us, and where it contains a title for a post, I can also see the title for the same post on your WordPress.com site. For example, these posts on your site all appear in the import file:

  * https://arabologyorg.wordpress.com/2021/12/16/zad-hussain-pays-homage-to-cultural-icons-from-the-arab-world-and-beyond/
  * https://arabologyorg.wordpress.com/2021/11/20/top-chef-arabia-winner-ali-ghzawi-interviewed-by-dr-ramzi-salti/
  * https://arabologyorg.wordpress.com/2021/09/17/tamer-al-ahmar-digitally-revives-arab-cultural-icons-stanford-talk-recording-available/

  So if there are other posts that imported without a title, that was most likely because the Blogger export file didn’t include any titles for those posts. In that case there’s not really anything we can do – the importer can only import what’s provided to it, and can’t automatically generate titles for posts that don’t have any specified in the export file.
