Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Unable to Import and Ready To Give UpI finally found it.
I had been looking all over the Control Panel for the Trashcan – just in case. It turns out the link to it is in the Posts section. Went in there and my previously imported posts were there. Just in case, I deleted them and tried the import again.
The posts came in perfectly.

In reply to: Unable to Import and Ready To Give UpThe problem is, as I explained in my post, once I uninstalled the non-working version of 2.7, it became unavailable to me for a reinstall.
That left me with, essentially, no choice but to install 3.6 (or 3.6.1?), which recognized the DB was older and said it had upgraded it. Full details of everything on that are in the post.
So I have an Export File that, as I said, imported once, but didn’t import again.

In reply to: Unable to Import and Ready To Give UpClarifying: The old site is self hosted. The new site is on WordPress.com.
My original questions were about converting MySQL to something WordPress.com could import, and that’s when I was told to come to WordPress.org for help – from the response (which wasn’t overly clear), it seemed all support was on .org.
The export was from data from 2.7, but I upgraded to 3.6 or 3.6.1. WordPress detected it was an older DB and told me it upgraded it. I then did the export from 3.6.1.
That’s the file that originally worked to import posts, but not images. When I fixed the old (self-hosted) site so the images were in place, I deleted all my posts and info in the new (WordPress.com) site and tried to re-import. The pics and categories imported, but not the posts.
If this is a WordPress.com issue, I don’t mind asking there, but I’d like to know where to ask or how to reach someone with technical abilities so I don’t get kicked back here again.

In reply to: Unable to Import and Ready To Give Upemsi: It was self hosted (as mentioned, the company is Westhost.com).
cubecolur: When I’ve asked for help on WordPress.com, I’m kicked over here. If there are volunteers on WordPress.org, I’d love to know how to reach them. As I said, when I asked about converting MySQL to an export file, I didn’t get any replies. Now I have an export file that worked once for posts, now it works for images, but it won’t import posts now.
