I cant able to import blogger ?

First I tried to import my blogger blog to my self hosted wp blog. Then I got 1/16 posts, 1/157 comments and it stopped. I read this forum and tried the same as in comment #2. But I received this error message .

The page you have requested cannot be displayed. Another site was requesting access to your Google Account, but sent a malformed request. Please contact the site that you were trying to use when you received this message to inform them of the error. A detailed error message follows:

The site “https://wordpress.com” has not been registered.

Why? I tried many times by clearing account info and getting the same message.
How can I resolve the problem?
Thanks

Math,

Same problem here. However, a couple of weeks ago I used wp.com to import from another Blogger blog & the import tool on wp.com worked like a charm. Today, I receive the same error message that you receive.

Anyone?

ps- I also tried Mercime method of using Pivot but the instructions there don’t seem to make sense…

Go to the screen where you can post new entries, and click on the Template tab. Change your main template to the following

Not sure to what they are referring. Are you there Mercime? ??

Alan

pps- Ok…the problem is that Pivot was referring to a classic template, of which mine is not. I reverted to a classic template & followed the directions and was actually able to upload through the Moveable import tool. However… I only tried this with a test blog that had 3 posts & only 2 came through properly. The one with the label did not nor did the label upload. The one post with a comment did in fact upload properly. I am hoping the WP.com feature will again function soon.

Sorry for so many posts but I tried the Pivot method with all of my posts & after multiple attempts, nothing. It’s not worth explaining ?? I hope someone has another solution

I played around in the wordpress code and changed $parser = xml_parser_create_ns(); to $parser = xml_parser_create(); around line 920 in blogger.php

Not sure if that helps the wordpress people make an official solution, but it is allowing me to import again.

schmidt00 You just saved my arse. I’ve been looking for a solution for the past two days and just came upon your post! I tried your method and it worked perfectly!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

GOOD NEWS ALL!

There is a conversion tool available brought to you by Google which I was directed to by a rep from WP.com & it works! See below:

Here is a link to the Google discussion group in regards to this app.

Good luck,

Thank you Alan!! I have been banging my head against the wall about this issue, but I tried your solution & it worked great. I can now use WordPress without having to start my entire blog over from scratch.

I should add, that I used Alan’s suggestion to use the Google blog converter app.

I tried the method of exporting the blogger posts, using the app. to change the file to wordpress xml. I was successful with uploading the blogger posts into wordpress, but ONLY WITH THE CLASSIC TEMPLATE. Every other template would put the side bar at the very bottom of the page, misaligned and would not properly archive. Weird.

froggy,

Not sure why this happened to you but this tool does work with the new Blogger templates as well. I have never used classic Blogger and had no problem. Just want others to know that the tool can work well with layout Blogger templates too ??

Alan

it is a cool app.

you can see it worked here: blog
