• Hi

    I have successfully imported once all posts (1486 of them). Now the author has posted 4 new posts but when i press continue the importer does not continue, it looks like the total number of posts stays the same.
    However what i did after the initial import was to convert tags to categories, so now there are no tags but i guess this should not make the importer to stop working.
    What is the problem? Can you help?

    Regards

  • Hi pekos,

    for the moment there is no way to continue a step already done, in your case, posts have been already imported, so, the plugin simply skips these.

    Maybe in a future release I could implement this functionality, I should think about it.

    Best regards

    Hi yurifari

    i don’t think it’s a big deal to update your plugin to include this feature. Of course this is me saying that, being lazy, trying to encourage you to update your plugin, but i what i see is the following:

    when i hit the continue button i can see that the counter of the already imported posts is there and next to it i assume is the counter of the total posts from the blogger site. Therefore i assume you already count imported posts and total blogger posts. So if there is a difference in these counts, then the plugin could try to fetch new (not yet imported) posts from blogger.

    But again this is me just saying…

    Hi yurifari

    I have similar issue. I use Blogger for my initial posts then import to WordPress any new posts for my Podcast since blogger not compatible with iTunes podcasts. I did this daily for 3 years until as of late when the blogger importer is no longer supported. I found your importer but your plugin is not updating with new posts. Please Help.

    Hi Yurifari,

    first of all thanks for making this plugin! As I didn’t know there was only one import possible, I imported all my blogposts some time ago as a try-out, but continued to work on my blogger-blog untill I had finished the layout of the wordpress one. As I tried to do an import of these new blogs, I noticed the plugin didn’t do anything, so I thought that removing all the thus far imported Posts would make him “realise” there were new things to import, but off course now I don’t have any blogs imported neither can I “redo” the import. Removing the plugin and installing it again doesn’t fix it either, so I would be extremely grateful if you could add the option of continuing an import.

    Thanks for your help!

    First of all, thanks for he plugin. It was a savior when the blogger importer stopped workign and I had to fix it overnight. Thanks a lot for that.

    I have the same situation as the above user:

    – Imported all with blogger, then it stopped.
    – Imported with this plugin (it duplicated, but deleting extra ones was no big deal – so did a quick fix)
    – After a month, when I tried to fix the blog, this one stopped working, I thought deleting all and re-importing everything might be better – I deleted everything, when trying to reimport, it does show the 151 entries and shows as done, but the posts are not imported. I deleted the plugin several times, reinstalled, re-linked to blogger, but nothing is working now. Please help.

    Thanks again.

    The author sort of addressed this in a prev thread.

    if you have access to the database you can run this query:

    DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE ‘bie_status_%’;

    Thank you so much brandMatt for addressing my question and thanks to the author as well. If I may ask, where do I enter this code? I am a non-techie as hence such a basic question.

    Thanks in advance,
    Sonal

    Actually I did find a place where to enter the code but what exactly should I enter? I copied and pasted the above and that didn’t work. Thanks.
