Resetting import process

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello,

    I’d like to reset the .xml import process. It’s been ‘processing’ for about a month now, and I’d like to try again, only with my previous posts’ text and without images.

    It might be a long shot, but I want to try anyway, seeing as how attempting to import everything clearly isn’t working.

    Thank you in advance.

    BTW how large is the XML export file? If it’s HUGE then you can try splitting it up into sections and importing them each individually.

    Thank you for your quick response.

    The file is 4.52mb which I thought would have been small enough to be handled without a problem.

    Even so, I think I’ll split the files into smaller chunks.

    I just cleared this job for you. That file size should be fine, but sometimes the importer can get stuck. Let us know if this happens again and a staff member can clear it for you.
