  • Is your RSS file a 2.0 version? Or older?

    A simple RSS file should look like this when you open it in a text editor.

    <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”windows-1252″ ?>
    <rss version=”2.0″ >
    <channel>
    <title>Your website</title>
    <link>http://www.YourSite.com</link&gt;
    <language>en-us</language>
    <description>My site is about Foo</description>
    <item>
    <title>This is the title of my post</title>
    <description>This is the main body of your post</description>
    <pubDate>Wednesday, September 1st, 2004</pubDate>

    Hi fimp,

    I am having the same issues you are. Actually, from what I can tell (using version WP 2.01), anything that gets imported gets imported as user “webmaster”, and not based on who you are logged in as.

    If indeed you are seeing a situation where it imports the posts as the author you are logged in as, then I would suggest choppin the RSS file up into different files based on author. (Eg, rss_me, rss_bob, rs_jenn, etc). Tedious, yes? But if it works, it woks, eh? As I said though, I wasn’t able to get this to work.

    Also, if you manage to get your RSS into another system, then you can import it from there. I was able to bring in posts from Blogger where the author was correct. But unfortunatly, Blogger does not allow a mass import.

    Go figure.
    Let me know if you have any luck. I’m still trying to figure this out as well.

    Jason
