  I have been asking to move my posterous blog over for weeks. I have deleted the request (in tools – following all instructions, very basic – the error is not on my side) and started over 3 times. Do I need to give up? Is there anyone willing to actually look at it and make it happen?

  We’ve deleted the old import process, would you mind trying again? We recently updated the Posterous importer.

  If you see any error messages at all, could you please let us know what they say so we can analyze it further.

  Thanks very much and we apologize for the inconvenience of having to try this multiple times – we realize it’s frustrating!

  Once I put in my password the screen basically went blank (URL said http://conhartke.wordpress.com/wp-admin/admin.php?import=posterous&step=3). So, I doodled around to get back to tools, import and it says it’s in process. Fingers crossed!

  Thanks for the report. Please let me know how it goes! Imports can sometimes take up to 24 hours to complete. :-)

  Hi, I am having the same problem with importing my posterous blog (blog.betterlesson.com) to my wordpress blog (betterlesson.wordpress.com). Can someone please help? No one has tended to my thread here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/import-from-posterous-still-processing-after-3-days-not-working?replies=2#post-1073774

  Thanks for the help!

  @betterlesson
  I marked the first thread for Staff support. Hopefully you will not post to multiple threads, as doing that will mean it takes longer for you to get help.
