Title: Comments Empty Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Comments Empty * Resolved [junelily](https://wordpress.org/support/users/junelily/) * (@junelily) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-empty/) * I have a fairly large database that I am importing (1613 posts, 35996 Comments, 8674 images). The posts and images have come over perfectly and all the comments came too (author, date, etc…) only the comment itself is empty… on ALL of the comments. I can’t find one single comment that actually has content. * Help please. I have tried deleting the comments and running the import 3x now. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/blogger-importer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/blogger-importer/) Viewing 5 replies - 16 through 20 (of 20 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-empty/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-empty/?output_format=md) 2 * Thread Starter [junelily](https://wordpress.org/support/users/junelily/) * (@junelily) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-empty/page/2/#post-4693752) * Here’s what I got on the error log: [10-Mar-2014 23:27:32] PHP Notice: ob_end_flush(): failed to delete buffer zlib output compression. in /home/elle/blog/wp-includes/ functions.php on line 2773 [10-Mar-2014 23:27:43] Error saving blogger status[ 10-Mar-2014 23:27:43] array ( ‘ID’ => 0, ‘comments_url’ => ‘[http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5830139936594943664/comments/default’](http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5830139936594943664/comments/default’);,‘ title’ => ‘In The Kitchen with Elle’, ‘summary’ => ”, ‘id’ => ‘5830139936594943664’,‘ host’ => ‘inthekitchenwithelle.blogspot.com’, ‘gateway’ => NULL, ‘posts_url’ => ‘[https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5830139936594943664/posts/default’](https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5830139936594943664/posts/default’);,‘ total_posts’ => 0, ‘total_comments’ => 0, ‘posts_done’ => 0, ‘comments_done’ => 0, ‘posts_skipped’ => 0, ‘comments_skipped’ => 0, ‘images_done’ => 0, ‘images_progress’ => 0, ‘images_skipped’ => 0, ‘links_done’ => 0, ‘links_progress’ => 0, ‘mode’ => ‘init’, ) [10-Mar-2014 23:27:43] Error saving blogger status [10-Mar-2014 23:27:43] array ( ‘ID’ => 1, ‘comments_url’ => ‘[http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5304468579773276445/comments/default’](http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5304468579773276445/comments/default’);,‘ title’ => ‘In The Kitchen with Elle’, ‘summary’ => ”, ‘id’ => ‘5304468579773276445’,‘ host’ => ‘cookwithelle.blogspot.com’, ‘gateway’ => NULL, ‘posts_url’ => ‘[https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5304468579773276445/posts/default’](https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5304468579773276445/posts/default’);,‘ total_posts’ => 0, ‘total_comments’ => 0, ‘posts_done’ => 0, ‘comments_done’ => 0, ‘posts_skipped’ => 0, ‘comments_skipped’ => 0, ‘images_done’ => 0, ‘images_progress’ => 0, ‘images_skipped’ => 0, ‘links_done’ => 0, ‘links_progress’ => 0, ‘mode’ => ‘init’, ) [10-Mar-2014 23:27:43] Error saving blogger status [10-Mar-2014 23:27:43] array ( ‘ID’ => 2, ‘comments_url’ => ‘[http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3508445248824461392/comments/default’](http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3508445248824461392/comments/default’);,‘ title’ => ‘Elle\’s Studio Dev Blog’, ‘summary’ => ”, ‘id’ => ‘3508445248824461392’,‘ host’ => ‘slkd-es.blogspot.com’, ‘gateway’ => NULL, ‘posts_url’ => ‘[https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3508445248824461392/posts/default’](https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3508445248824461392/posts/default’);,‘ total_posts’ => 2, ‘total_comments’ => 0, ‘posts_done’ => 0, ‘comments_done’ => 0, ‘posts_skipped’ => 0, ‘comments_skipped’ => 0, ‘images_done’ => 0, ‘images_progress’ => 0, ‘images_skipped’ => 0, ‘links_done’ => 0, ‘links_progress’ => 0, ‘mode’ => ‘init’, ) [10-Mar-2014 23:27:43] Error saving blogger status [10-Mar-2014 23:27:43] array ( ‘ID’ => 3, ‘comments_url’ => ‘[http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8643368010334484588/comments/default’](http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8643368010334484588/comments/default’);,‘ title’ => ‘Elle\’s Studio’, ‘summary’ => ”, ‘id’ => ‘8643368010334484588’, ‘host’ => ‘ellesstudio.blogspot.com’, ‘gateway’ => NULL, ‘posts_url’ => ‘[https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8643368010334484588/posts/default’](https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8643368010334484588/posts/default’);,‘ total_posts’ => 1614, ‘total_comments’ => 35996, ‘posts_done’ => 1604, ‘comments_done’ => 0, ‘posts_skipped’ => 0, ‘comments_skipped’ => 0, ‘images_done’ => 7250, ‘ images_progress’ => 0, ‘images_skipped’ => 0, ‘links_done’ => 0, ‘links_progress’ => 0, ‘mode’ => ‘init’, ) [10-Mar-2014 23:27:47] PHP Notice: The data could not be converted to UTF-8.

I contacted them and apparently they had not installed the php-xml module!! How frustrating, but at least it’s fixed now! * Thanks for all your time! * Plugin Author [Workshopshed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/workshopshed/) * (@workshopshed) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-empty/page/2/#post-4693777) * Great news. Based on your error log I’ve simplified some of the code so that it does not log things that are standard operations and eliminated the ob_clean issue. I’ve also updated the FAQ to include this issue. Thanks for your diagnostic help.
