As I posted yesterday in the post you quote above: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/27070
I am having problems downloading the script there! I left a message for Skeltoac on his site… and as I say posted in the topic above… neither of which have been answered… yet!
The download page loads… then I get this:
“<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”RSS 2.0″ href=””
Can anyone advise??
Thanks in advance.
Yep! No problem… except… what should I do with it? lol!
Save it as import-blogger.php in your wp-admin folder to replace the original importer file. Best way to go: delete the original and upload the new one.
Then try again to import the blogger posts.
OK… I thought that’s what I would need to do with it! Just wanted to make sure! LOL! I shall try that… watch this space! 🙂 Many thanks!

Just wanted to say Many Thanks! The import worked a treat! All posts and comments (not many of those) were transferred perfectly!
I am having a slight problem with my Archive links which are not opening properly… but I think this is a CSS problem and nothing to do with the Blogger Import tool or process.
Anyhow… many thanks again!
Saludos! 🙂
If by “archive problem” you mean that a lot of html file are opening in a directory listing instead of the real archives… you just have to delete those imported files 🙂
(they are already in the database – hopefully).
Remove them somewhere else, then check the DB archives and, if everything is OK, you can delete those html files.
Hi Moshu
That’s exactly what I meant… and I did what you suggested… and Hey Presto! All well now! Thanks once again! You are a veritable font of knowledge! 🙂
I wonder if you might help with another question. On my Blogger site… I was able to show the (10) most recent posts on my sidebar along with the Archives listed monthly. How can I show my most recent posts using WordPress? I have been looking around for guidance on this and can’t find it. I’m sure it’s probably there somewhere… but I can’t dig it out? Can you advise or point me in the right direction please… How to show my recent posts on sidebard??
Thanks again… and in advance! 🙂
Saludos!
Ah! Sorry… I think I found the answer… Please correct me if I’m wrong… but I think all I need to do is include this:
<?php wp_get_archives(‘type=postbypost&limit=5’); ?>
I shall try it anyway! If I have problems, I shall be back!! 🙂
Thank you!
on the IMPORT BLOGGER page, i enter my blogger user name and password, and it keeps saying, “Login failed. Please re-enter your username and password.” (my user name and password are correct. also, i am logged out of blogger.)
i think the problem may be that wordpress is checking the wrong directory. when i enter my credentials, it says in the status bar, “waiting for http://www.[domain].com” even though wordpress was installed by dreamhost in http://www.[domain].com/%5Bsub-directory%5D.
does anyone know how i can fix this?
thank you.
I’m having pretty much the same problem. Except I’m using a different host and my blog isn’t in a subdirectory.
I’m using wordpress 2.0.5. if that matters.
Yeah the Blogger Beta to WordPress import does NOT work.. anyone have any ideas on how to transfer these safely?
