  I followed the instructions and imported all 5 .xml files I got from xanga. The import was successful but SOME posts are missing. Had this happened before? How do I fix it?

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

  I have the exact same problem – uploaded 9 files from xanga over yesterday and today, and only a few made it up.

  Hi there,

  Can you give me more details about the posts that are missing? For example, the post titles, dates, content, etc. That will help me investigate this for you.

  I don’t have the exact dates of the missing posts since they are from over ten yrs ago. It seems like thought every post after 2004 was erased.

  @samyishan — Thanks for pointing out that your posts after 2004 were missing. All of those more recent posts were in one of the Xanga export files, so I re-imported that file and now I see those posts on your blog. Please let me know if you notice anything else missing!

  @aintnojuliet — The same issue happened with your import, but with two files (one file with the missing posts from 2004, and one file with the missing posts from 2010). I restarted the import for the first file, but that import is still running. Once that’s done I’ll re-import the second file for you and let you know.

  If anyone else runs into trouble with a Xanga import like this, please try re-importing your files from Xanga or start a new forum thread so we can take a look at it for you. Thanks!

  @aintnojuliet — For some reason the Xanga file with your posts from around 2010 just doesn’t want to import into your blog. I’m asking our team to take a look at it to try to sort that out, and I’ll let you know as soon as I have an update about that. :)

  @aintnojuliet — I spoke too soon! :) The import worked and all of those posts from around 2010 are on your blog now.

  Please let me know if I can do anything more to help.
