In IE press F12 to start the Dev Tools. * 3) Press the jQuerify bookmarklet button that you installed from step 1. This will turn on jQuery for the page. * 4) Go to the console tab, enable the console if you need to, paste this code in and press RUN: * jQuery.noConflict(); //Disable jQuery $ just incase. * jQuery(‘#authors li’).each(function() { // Get the author login text var username = jQuery(this).find(‘strong’).html(); var author_login = jQuery.trim((username. split(‘(‘))[0]); * //Figure out which option this author is in the drop down. var selectOptionval = -1; jQuery(this).find(‘select option’).each(function(){ if (jQuery(this).html() === author_login) { selectOptionval = jQuery(this).val(); return false;//quit. each() early. } }); * // Set the combo box to this author’s option key. jQuery(this).find(‘select’). val(selectOptionval); // For test… //console.log(author_login + “: ” + selectOptionval);}); * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Importer] [Plugin: WordPress Importer] bug: Author problem importing multiple WXR files](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-importer-bug-author-problem-importing-multiple-wxr-files/) * Thread Starter [mpickell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mpickell/) * (@mpickell) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-importer-bug-author-problem-importing-multiple-wxr-files/#post-2643717) * –REMOVED– I fixed the last comment so i removed this comment. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Importer] [Plugin: WordPress Importer] bug: Author problem importing multiple WXR files](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-importer-bug-author-problem-importing-multiple-wxr-files/) * Thread Starter [mpickell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mpickell/) * (@mpickell) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-importer-bug-author-problem-importing-multiple-wxr-files/#post-2643716) * Here’s a hack solution that fit my need.

* If that’s the case, then this “insert user” call should be returning the existing user, or maybe a retry on this call with the author’s ‘user_pass’ field blanked out since it is randomly generated each time and will never match an existing user? * Just throwing something out there. i’ll add more debug lines to the plugin tonight and try to see where it is failing. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Old Scoop CMS database import?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/old-scoop-cms-database-import/) * Thread Starter [mpickell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mpickell/) * (@mpickell) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/old-scoop-cms-database-import/#post-2634899) * I have a script for this now that i’m finalizing… i’ll post it on my blog and link to it here. It works well. Converts Scoop database authors, tags, posts, and comments into the WordPress extended RSS format (WXR). * If someone needed it now i could send you the current script, just let me know here. It’s a php script. * The only problem i’m having now is that when i create multiple files (split because of large file size), only the first import is putting authors on the comments… but if you change the memory and file size parameters as mentioned [here](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Working_with_WordPress#Importing_and_Exporting), it loads a very large (400M+) file successfully.
