import wordpress xml, "Are you sure you want to do this?" (3 posts)

    I'm trying to import an exported XML file from Wordpress 2.3.1 into 2.7.1. The file is 202 KB and the max file upload size i 2MB. When I upload the XML file all I get is a message saying: "Are you sure you want to do this?" and a link leading back to the upload page.
    I've found a lot of pages in the forum mentioning the "Are you sure" thing but all of them seem to be related to importing files larger then the max filesize so I'm a bit confused about this error... Anyone got any solutions?

    It happened to me the same. And after a day of searching and reinstalling wp and stuff i solved the problem doing a very simple thing: I changed the theme to the clasic one and I succeeded in importing the xml file. It seems that it was some sort of conflict with that theme, because after that I switched back the theme and it was all ok.

    I had to increase the max filesize for uploads in the php.ini file. I was getting the same message and switching themes didn't help. The problem was simply that the import filesize was too large.
