I have been trying for a while now to import posts from one blog to another and it is not working.
Both blogs have the latest version and when I upload the XML file, it keeps on loading, but nothing happens, my bowser seems to be busy but even after 4 hours, the import has not happened.
Can anyone help me? Oh and I not technical at all so don't understand all the technical lingo.
Thanks!

It seems that we are having the same exact issue...

Damn it! What did you do after coming together once a wordpress system? 've budgeted, and problems began to head the fuck do the job!

I got the pages, posts, and menu items to import, but it took two passes. The first pass I had the box checked for importing attachments, and nothing got imported. The next time I unchecked the attachments box and got plenty of results. About halfway through the list of images though it 'failed to import', leaving me quite a bit short.

This has been a nightmare for me, as well. I am getting it there, kicking and screaming, by breaking the import file down into smaller chunks, putting the posts in one file, the attachments in another, as well putting the tags and categories into their own files.
One problem I had was with some post that had dates in the future; these would hang the process. For whatever reason, when I changed their dates, they went in just fine.

For what's it's worth, here's my input. I had a very small file (400k) that kept failing and timing out. I tried the following two steps, and it worked.
1. Confirm that the permalink structure matches that of the old blog you are importing content from.
2. If you press the "upload" button and the browser doesn't respond after a reasonable amount of time, click it again.
Somehow, that kick-started WordPress, and it imported the data as normal.

I should note this was not a one-off fluke. I've done this about two or three times in the past, with the same success.
