whay aren't my imported blogger comments showing up on my older posts?
-
Hi! I imported my blog over from blogger and had some issues along the way which the happiness engineers helped me through a couple months ago, but none of my imported comments (from February 8th, 2013 and earlier) made it over to my wordpress blog. I can see them in my dashboard for some reason, but they are not on the live site. can you help me figure this out? thank you so much!!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Comments are only visible at the bottom of individual post pages. You can get there by clicking on a post title, for example: http://emeryjo.com/2013/10/20/the-old-rickety-barn-2/
Please let us know if you need any further assistance!

Hi kardotim. None of my imported blogger comments are showing up on any of my posts **PREVIOUS to FEBRUARY 8th 2013**. Again, they are all in my dashboard, but are not visible on my blog. Can you help me with this? Do I need to go and individually delete all of the hundreds and hundreds of them from my dashboard by hand and then try to re-import them again somehow?
-
If they are visible on your dashboard, they should also be visible on your lbog. Could you please send a link of the page where you see the comments listed on your dashboard?
Thank you!

In my dashboard under comments. There are 1,193 comments there, but none of the ones before february 8th are actually showing on my blog. Here’s the link to my comments in my dashboard:
http://emeryjo.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?paged=1
Page 3 is where the comments stop showing up on the blog.

Whenever you see a comment listed, there is a ‘View Post’ link on the right hand side. This brings you to the post where the comment is listed at the bottom of the page.
Let me know if that works for you.

Did you scroll to page 3 like I mentioned?? That’s where the comments stop showing up on my blog and they are no longer actively linked to a post. There are 57 pages of comments that aren’t showing up on my blog.

I see that in an old ticket my colleague (Zandy) replied this to you:
I was going through your import file and trying to match those unattached comments (I only see 42 of them:
https://emeryjo.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?orderby=comment_post_ID&order=asc )to real posts. But when I looked through the import file, all the posts I found were no longer on your original blogger site – which makes me think that these 42 unattached comments are just residual from any posts you might have deleted.
I’m very happy to look at specific comment you KNOW are unattached from current posts – but in my spot-checking, it seemed to be the case that these are just left over from deleted posts.
-
yes, there were 42 unattached comments from old deleted posts which I went and deleted one by one. But are you able to see the 57 PAGES of unattached comments in my dashboard under the comments tab? Or am I the only one able to see them in there? I feel like no one is acknowledging the 1,000+ comments sitting in my dashboard right now that are nowhere to be found on my blog. I feel like the best option might be to switch back to blogger at this point…

If you got to https://emeryjo.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?orderby=comment_post_ID&order=asc&paged=3 you’ll see that the unattached comments are only listed on the first 3 pages (total of 42 comment). The other 57 pages lists attached comments.
