  Hello, I’m importing my old xanga posts from the XML file but for some reason these posts are not appearing. Other XML files imported just fine, not sure why this other batch would be different. Any thoughts?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi @jonathanlee213, the Xanga import requires you to import all of the files in numerical order. Can you confirm you’ve done that?

  Confirming that I went in order of the XML file names. Everything seems to have come in but XML file 2, out of 7 pieces.

  Would you be willing to try uploading them once more in order? I’m wondering if it didn’t catch.

  I tried reuploading them in order. Same deal.

  Ok. We’ll need to do some investigating then. Would you mind uploading them to a dropbox, sharing that link with us (we can then delete it) and giving us permission to import them into a test site?

  Then, please let us know too which posts we should be looking for.
