  I went through the steps of downloading my xanga archives, but wordpress will not let me import the files. I keep seeing a message that the files will not import because they are not xml files, when in fact they are xml files.

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

  I’ll tag this thread for Staff assistance. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  NOTE: For further instructions on how to do a Xanga import, please see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-xanga/ You must open the .zip export folder you get from Xanga and import ALL of the files included in the .zip folder individually.

  I am not able to import – I open the .zip folder, select a file to import (one at a time, not multiple files), and I keep receiving the “not an xml” message

  Which browser and version of it are you using? Have you tried using a different browser? http://browsehappy.com

  Sometimes when this happens, users have reported success if they tried the following:
  
  1) Using a different browser, as timethief suggested;
  2) Trying the WordPress importer rather than the specific Xanga importer, in your Tools menu.

  Please let me know if you still encounter issues after trying both of those.
