WP.org won't show posts imported from WP.com (7 posts)

    I've got a problem with the import function of 3.0.4. When I did my first import, from a wp.com blog, it says it loaded the posts fine, but there were no posts visible. When I tried the import a second time, it says "Post X already exists". How do I get rid of these "broken" posts, and why wasn't the import successful in the first place?

  2. Where are they not visible? Do they show in wp-admin/posts.php?

    They are missing from the site pages and from the posts admin screen.

  4. Go into your database and check for the posts.

    I know you can find the DB in one of the ini files, and I think my hosting provider has a MySQL interface. Is there an obvious tablename like "posts", if not, what is it, and is the data spread across multiple tables? If it's just a matter of deleting some rows, I can do that.

    My bigger question is why didn't it work in the first place.

    Thanks for your help!

    If you didn't change the table prefix in your config.php, the default post and page table is wp_posts.

  7. You don't want to delete them yet, we want to make sure they're THERE :)
