Title: Import Error Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Import Error * Resolved [flamingbear](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flamingbear/) * (@flamingbear) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-error/) * After reading the post @ [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/59456](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/59456)? I’ve come to the conclusion that I have a different problem. * Does anyone have any ideas? * Firefox 1.5, WinXP, Apache 1.3, PHP 4.2.3 & MySQL 3.23.58 * Cannot redeclare class blogger_import in /home/.sites/143/site2/web/blog/wp-admin/ import/blogger.php on line 3 * Okay, so what’s going on here – it’s pretty frustrating.

I see it popping up all over this board. * I fixed it by hacking wp-admin/admin.php in the following way: * ` @@ -83,7 +83,7 @@ if (! file_exists(ABSPATH . "wp-admin/import/$importer.php")) die(__('Cannot load importer.')); * - include(ABSPATH . "wp-admin/import/$importer.php"); + require_once(ABSPATH." wp-admin/import/$importer.php"); * $parent_file = 'import.php'; $title = __('Import'); * Basically this just means change ‘include’ to ‘require_once’ on line 86 — somehow the file’s getting included multiple times and causing the class redeclaration error. * This doesn’t address the real problem, which is why some people aren’t having this problem while others are, why some people are getting it included multiple times… so this might break at some other time down the road. But since you aren’t importing all the time it should fix things long enough to get it done. * Thread Starter [flamingbear](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flamingbear/) * (@flamingbear) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-error/#post-336584) * bcompton, thanks for the reply. Sorry, I’m not quite clear on how you’re modifying admin.php. Are you adding the require statement and removing the include statement? * Just call me a chicken, but I just want to be sure that I’m doing it the right way. * Thanks, * Thread Starter [flamingbear](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flamingbear/) * (@flamingbear) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-error/#post-336589) * bcompton – I’ve got it figured out.

If you haven’t found the solution already, DO NOT try to access the blogger import script directly. Instead, run the /wp-admin/ import.php script and then choose blogger from the list. * Before you do this, make sure you’ve followed the instructions on archiving your blogger blog to your server. * [earll](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earll/) * (@earll) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-error/#post-336679) * i’ve tried that one too, but unfortunately it doesn’t work for me. i dunno, perhaps i’ve done something wrong. plz help! * [riteshn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/riteshn/) * (@riteshn) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-error/#post-336723) * I followed steps as suggested by phildow and it works.
