When I click import to import all of my posts on my blogger blog it says importing 1/103 and then it stops and the button changes to set authors. Why can't I import from Blogger?

Posted 7 months ago #1 - continue to go through the process. Even if it is just '1'. Click import.
When it is finished, check to see how many posts were imported.
And repeat the process, several times if necessary. WP will not create duplicates - it will skip them.
At least that is what I did and it worked for me.

Posted 7 months ago #Users of WordPress 2.2 and above can import from Blogger. Earlier versions cannot import from Blogger because "New Blogger" was released by Google, invalidating all the old importers. Only WordPress 2.2 and later has support for "New Blogger".
If you haven't already, you must be using New Blogger and a Google Account on Blogger. If you are still using Old Blogger, the importer will not work.

Posted 7 months ago #I am using New Blogger and am getting the same problem. I have tried everything I can on the Blogger end. I hosted on my own domain, moved it to a blogspot address, even exported and then tried to import the file. No luck. Am thinking that importing from Blogger won't work. Wonder if I can export to another blog site, import there, then try to import into WordPress. Seems like a lot of work - anybody else found a workaround?

Posted 7 months ago #Same exact problem here. Click on import and it says it imports 1 of hundreds of posts and one comment, then button changes to assign authors. It isn't really importing anything though.
Been searching for a solution and none are it. Found an idea to import blogger into a wordpress.com account then export and import, but my wordpress.com doesn't show an import/export option under tools, even though I'm the admin.

Posted 7 months ago #I am using New Blogger with a Google Account.
I am using Wordpress 2.7.1
I am using Mac OS 10.5.6
I am using Firefox 3.0.9It stops importing after 1/476 (posts) 1/413 (comments)
I get the Set authors button, and click on thatThere are two columns. Under Blogger Username there is nothing. No input field to type in, no pull-down menu to choose from.
Under WordPress Login is the one login I set up, so a pull-down menu of one option. I click on Save Changes, even though there is nothing changed.
I am directed to Edit Posts, where there are no posts. Nothing was imported. (And before I started the process, I deleted the Hello World post)
However, there are two blank anonymous comments dated 11/30/1999 at 12:00 am. in response to # (which of course is a non-existent post).
If I go back to the Import section, I am immediately taken to Set Authors, which looks and behaves exactly as before.
I think that about covers it.
Any suggestions? -
Posted 7 months ago #The advice on another thread to
import into a Wordpress.com blog
export in Wordpress format
then import into your self-hosted Wordpress
and then delete wordpress.com blog

Connection refused (111)When I try to do the import in wordpress.com blog trick it also says
"Cannot access the blog"What is wrong? Am I doing something wrong. I really hope this can be fixed or else I am losing 323 posts.

Posted 6 months ago #I played around in the wordpress code and changed $parser = xml_parser_create_ns(); to $parser = xml_parser_create(); around line 920 in blogger.php
Not sure if that helps the wordpress people make an official solution, but it is allowing me to import again.

Posted 6 months ago #@schmidt00 I did attempt to apply your fix but to no avail. When I try to click import it then gives me another button of continue, once click it continues to say continue going no where.
All, I too am having the same problems, stops importing after 1/1950 posts, and 1//2005 comments. I tried to do it via the RSS import by I get a memory allocation error, so that's not working either. I really want to move over, but as of now I seem stuck in a no win situation. HELP!!

Posted 6 months ago #Same problem here, too.
Schmidt00's solution worked for me.
In /wordpress/wp-admin/import/blogger.php find (around line 919):
$parser = xml_parser_create_ns();
Change it to:
$parser = xml_parser_create();
Apparently the developers changed the name of this function and forgot to update it in all dependent modules.

Posted 5 months ago #So has this problem been fixed. If I can't import my blog from Blogger to Wordpress then there's no use to install Wordpress. I have over a thousand post in my Blog. No way I can start my Blog over.
If this is a problem the Admins should let the public know. Remember before installing Wordpress you have pay for hosting. If you can't import from Blogger don't let people waste their money thinking they can.

Posted 3 months ago #Using 2.8.4 and having the "Connection timed out (110)" problem. It looks like they've rolled schmitt00's code into the release, 'coz it already has the line "$parser = xml_parser_create();" but it still doesn't work.
