  When I try to upload saved xml files to WordPress, it says the files are not XML files. … but they are. They have the file name followed by .xml. They are files I downloaded in a zip folder from Xanga, and I saved the files as two XML documents.

  Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong or how can I get around this?

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

  Did you try using another browser?

  Other users have reported that when this has happened, changing browsers or trying the general “WordPress” importer tool rather than the Xanga-specific one has worked for them. Please let me know if you try both of these and you still cannot import your files.

  Also, for further instructions on how to do a Xanga import, please see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-xanga/

  Note that you must open the .zip export folder you get from Xanga and import ALL of the files included in the .zip folder individually.

  Thanks timethief.

  @aaalle please try a different browser first, and then try the WordPress rather than the Xanga importer if changing browsers doesn’t help. If you still run into importing issues, please let me know.
