Are all the attachments appearing correctly in the Media section of the backend? Just not showing within a post itself?
If so I think I know what the problem is having just run into it myself and will investigate further tomorrow.

In reply to: [WordPress Importer] "WordPress Importer" Pluggin doesn't importThat’s output caused by a different plugin using old functions and arguments.
As I said the symptoms sound exactly like you’re reaching the memory_limit or max_execution_time. You’ll have to talk to your host or look up specific instructions on their website for information on how to temporarily increase these values.
You might also try reading through this codex page I only just discovered about importing large files. I think you only need to be concerned with the first two bullet points there as the file is small enough to be uploading properly, you’re just running into problems after that.

In reply to: [WordPress Importer] "WordPress Importer" Pluggin doesn't importRead this set of instructions.
I’m almost certain that this will be a memory limit error. WordPress does try to set a really high memory_limit in the admin section (256MB). But I guess you’ll have to try increasing the memory_limit setting in php.ini if you want to import this file.
Could you tell me how large your input file is in (kilo|mega)bytes?
I too am having problems with importing the attachments.
I have tried the plugin versions 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4-alpha1.
The posts are restored but NO images. Help?Did you check the box labelled “Download and import file attachments” on the second screen (just after you upload the import file)? Please could you also open a new thread if this wasn’t the problem instead of continuing here.
Firstly could you please open a new forum thread for this problem as this current thread is now tracking three separate problems.
Secondly, try adding WP_DEBUG to your wp-config.php file as well as enabling IMPORT_DEBUG in the plugin file:
define('WP_DEBUG',true);Also checkout sivel’s page on the ‘WordPress White Screen of Death‘
Also include full details of your setup in the new thread.
Thanks.
any progress on this issue: he process finished and attachment got imported – however, what’s confusing is that e.g. an image that was in the following folder in source installation: ..uploads/2003/05/image.jpg end up in the new location at …/uploads/2010/09/image.jpg
Still cannot reproduce this as stated above.
any ideas?
Have you tried disabling all other plugins before importing? It’s possible, though unlikely, that another plugin could be filtering the upload path to cause a problem.
what the latest version of this plugin?
The current stable version is 0.3. In trunk is 0.4-alpha2 which will be released soon.
Could you repost some data from your import xml file (use a pastebin as suggested by the mod who had to remove whatever you pasted last time) or you can email me a file (wp AT lionsgoroar.co.uk).
Do you see any errors if you enable debug information in wp-config?
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true);Also see WordPress White Screen of Death

In reply to: [WordPress Importer] "WordPress Importer" Pluggin doesn't importHow large is the import file? It sounds like you might be hitting a memory limit or execution time limit.
As it appears in the Media section it sounds as if it uploads correctly but then fails to parse properly before displaying the author mapping/creation form. If you enable WP_DEBUG and display errors for PHP do you see any warning messages?
kyleduncan: are you using the latest version, which is 0.3, of the WordPress importer plugin as well as 3.1?
The problem was old caches which get refreshed when you add a new category or even just quick edit (don’t need to change anything) and save an existing category. This should happen automatically at the end of an import using the latest version of the importer.
So that’s a problem whilst installing the plugin. Have you tried looking for the directory in FTP again? I’m sure it must be there for that install error to occur.
I’m not sure what you mean by “plugin failed because WP Importer folder already exists in destination server”.
Are you sure you’re using the WordPress WXR file importer (accessed from the admin panel via Tools > Import > WordPress)? This doesn’t sound like an error message returned by this plugin.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Malware or virus warnings – Exploit scanner – Help!!I agree with Samuel that they are most probably false positives. However the first two matches:
wp-includes/gettext.php:310
Often used to execute malicious code:eval("$string");
wp-includes/classes.php:1508
Often used to execute malicious code:eval("\$query = \"$query\";");suggest that you are using a very old version of WordPress. Since the last version of WordPress that contained that code in classes.php was 2.6 (released July 2008) and the file no longer exists in 3.1.
If you are concerned about security (and even you are not!) then I urge you to upgrade your WordPress install.

In reply to: [Exploit Scanner] Exploit Scanner errorsHi.
Thanks again for the information. I now know roughly what’s going wrong, but it would be useful for me to be able to exactly replicate the problem to get the best fix.
Would you please send me the whole error string (I know it’s long!) using one of the paste bin services I mentioned above.
Thanks.
The WordPress importer will importer WXR (WordPress eXtended RSS) files. These are usually generated by the inbuilt WordPress exporter which can be found in under the Tools menu in your administration panel (Tools > Export).

In reply to: [Exploit Scanner] Exploit Scanner errorsWould you be able to send the whole error to me via a paste bin (e.g. pastie.org or pastebin.com). Either link here or you can email wp {AT} lionsgoroar.co.uk.
Thanks for reporting.
