 * Hi all,
    after playing with a test installtion for a week, I finally installed
   WP on my main site and imported all of my previous data. Most of my data was 
   imported completely and properly, but WP didn’t recognize my comments for some
   reason.
 * Each post shows now comments, but when you click on the comments link they all
   appear. If I go into comment moderation and click edit, then when I go back out
   to the page all the comments for that post appear.
 * Does anyone know of a way to get WP to recognize all of my comments at once?
 * Thanks, and I really love WP so far. I’m looking forward to making use of some
   of the plugins.

 * If you are running Spam-Karma ([http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karma/](http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karma/)),
   upgrade to version 2.1. If you are NOT running Spam-Karma, then if it exists,
   delete your `wp-content/cache` directory. If that doesn’t work, you should use
   [phpMyAdmin](http://codex.wordpress.org/phpMyAdmin) to decrease, by one, the 
   number stored in the `db_version` record of your `wp_options` table, and then
   run `upgrade.php` again. See also, a related Forum Thread [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/53158#post-291151](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/53158#post-291151)

 * I am also having problems importing comments. I imported files from my original
   WP blog to the blog hosted on my site (which is also WP). It imports all the 
   posts, but the comments do not carry over. Am I missing something?
    My old WP
   blog is [http://cynthiafalcon.wordpress.com](http://cynthiafalcon.wordpress.com),
   and my site blog is [http://www.cynthiafalcon.com/SoarSpot](http://www.cynthiafalcon.com/SoarSpot)
 * Thanks everyone!

 * Hi Cynthia, if you did the RSS import, you’re only going to get posts, no comments.
 * Have a look at this plugin though: [http://www.technosailor.com/wordpress-to-wordpress-import](http://www.technosailor.com/wordpress-to-wordpress-import)

 * Thank you, I was able to import comments, still running into problems though,
   the comments are not showing in the right spots. I think I saw another thread
   about that so I will have to do some digging.
 * Thanks again
    CF
