The two problems were: * 1. Malformed, so falls back to regex parser * 2. Authors, categories, tags, terms are all formatted prettily on multiple lines, e.g. * > > 124338 crushing > * So the regex parser failed to import them since it expects single lines for these nodes and their children. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Theme Unit Test Failing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-unit-test-failing/) * [Jon Cave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duck_/) * (@duck_) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-unit-test-failing/#post-3676264) * There are two problems occurring. Firstly there are parse errors in the XML: * > 640:32 Namespace prefix atom on link is not defined > 641:21 Namespace prefix atom on link is not defined > 3513:8 Opening and ending tag mismatch: postmeta line 3508 and item > 5646:13 Opening and ending tag mismatch: item line 3487 and channel > 5647:7 Opening and ending tag mismatch: channel line 22 and rss > 5648:1 Premature end of data in tag rss line 21 * This causes the proper XML parsers to fail and fallback to the regex parser. * This fails to import tags because the export has more nicely formatted tags, categories, authors, etc. which the regex parser cannot handle since they’re not just one line. * This appears to all be WP.com specific behaviour so they might have to fix some stuff on their end. (There is a bug in the importer which means that tags only fail to report as failed and not authors + categories). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Importer] [Patch included] Importing nav_menu items fails](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/patch-included-importing-nav_menu-items-fails/) * [Jon Cave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duck_/) * (@duck_) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/patch-included-importing-nav_menu-items-fails/#post-3169711) * Thanks for the report! This was actually caused by a change in core which I fixed in [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/22399](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/22399). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Exploit Scanner] [Plugin: Exploit Scanner] hashes-3.4.1.php missing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-exploit-scanner-hashes-341php-missing/) * Plugin Author [Jon Cave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duck_/) * (@duck_) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-exploit-scanner-hashes-341php-missing/#post-2860230) * I just pushed an update to include the new stuff. Sorry for the delay. * The compatible thing is probably WordPress.org just assuming that plugins are compatible with all minor versions (3.4.x) for any major version that they support. In general this is true. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Importer] [Plugin: WordPress Importer] Omitted Backslashes](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-importer-omitted-backslashes/) * [Jon Cave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duck_/) * (@duck_) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-importer-omitted-backslashes/#post-2819831) * You can create a ticket on the [core WordPress Trac](http://core.trac.wordpress.org) under the “Import” component. * Forum: [Alpha/Beta/RC](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta/) In reply to: [Comments not showing on Edit Post page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-not-showing-on-edit-post-page/) * [Jon Cave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duck_/) * (@duck_) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-not-showing-on-edit-post-page/#post-2799841) * I have created a ticket for this bug at [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20937](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20937). * Thanks for the report. * Forum: [Alpha/Beta/RC](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta/) In reply to: [Theme Customizer not able to add a new field to current settings](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-customizer-not-able-to-add-a-new-field-to-current-settings/) * [Jon Cave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duck_/) * (@duck_) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-customizer-not-able-to-add-a-new-field-to-current-settings/#post-2799351) * It doesn’t work because twentyeleven_theme_options_validate() is run on sanitize_option(), so your custom key is stripped out. If you want to work with the twentyeleven_themem_options option then you’ll have to filter twentyeleven_theme_options_validate as well to allow the text_color key through. * Forum: [Alpha/Beta/RC](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta/) In reply to: [List whole subpages failing in RC3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-whole-subpages-fialing-on-rc3/) * [Jon Cave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duck_/) * (@duck_) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-whole-subpages-fialing-on-rc3/#post-2809480) * > My guess is that it’s related to $post->ancestors. * Looks like it. Try RC4 and hopefully that’ll fix it. * Forum: [Alpha/Beta/RC](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta/) In reply to: [Admin sidebar buggish on 3.4-RC2-21036](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-sidebar-buggish-on-34-rc2-21036/) * [Jon Cave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duck_/) * (@duck_) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-sidebar-buggish-on-34-rc2-21036/#post-2804260) * Thanks for the report.

To double check you could download a fresh copy of tablesorter and compare it to that file to ensure no modifications have been made. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Importer] [Plugin: WordPress Importer] HELP.
