Support » Plugin: WordPress Importer » Cannot import XML file

  • I have tried and tried again to upload the XML file I’d made from my WP site, which I was attempting to use on a newly hosted version of the site. I keep getting a message that it is a blank file. After rather a lot of wasted time on attempts and breaking the file into smaller and smaller pieces, I have given up. I just lost ten years worth of work, and I’m not happy.

  • I have a similar problem. I just uploaded the xml file of an old WordPress website, it’s about 1 MB so not even close to the maximum of 8 MB. But it takes for ever to upload. After almost half an hour the system is still loading… And I can’t find any time indicator whatsoever.

    I noticed that the latest version of the plugin is from October, but the newest WordPress version is more recent. So… might that be causing the plugin to fail?

    Please update the plugin or do whatever is needed to debug – I really need the old blogposts for my client to work.

    Have a nice day.

    Okay… the upload succeeded. I had to be more patient, but I still think an indicator is a must have so others won’t panic or create unnecessary support threads 😉
