As I posted yesterday in the post you quote above: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/27070

I am having problems downloading the script there! I left a message for Skeltoac on his site… and as I say posted in the topic above… neither of which have been answered… yet!

The download page loads… then I get this:

“<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”RSS 2.0″ href=””

Can anyone advise??

Thanks in advance.

Can’t you access this?

Yep! No problem… except… what should I do with it? lol!

Save it as import-blogger.php in your wp-admin folder to replace the original importer file. Best way to go: delete the original and upload the new one.
Then try again to import the blogger posts.

OK… I thought that’s what I would need to do with it! Just wanted to make sure! LOL! I shall try that… watch this space! ?? Many thanks!

Just wanted to say Many Thanks! The import worked a treat! All posts and comments (not many of those) were transferred perfectly!

I am having a slight problem with my Archive links which are not opening properly… but I think this is a CSS problem and nothing to do with the Blogger Import tool or process.

Anyhow… many thanks again!

Saludos! ??

If by “archive problem” you mean that a lot of html file are opening in a directory listing instead of the real archives… you just have to delete those imported files ??
(they are already in the database – hopefully).
Remove them somewhere else, then check the DB archives and, if everything is OK, you can delete those html files.

Hi Moshu

That’s exactly what I meant… and I did what you suggested… and Hey Presto! All well now! Thanks once again! You are a veritable font of knowledge! ??

I wonder if you might help with another question. On my Blogger site… I was able to show the (10) most recent posts on my sidebar along with the Archives listed monthly. How can I show my most recent posts using WordPress? I have been looking around for guidance on this and can’t find it. I’m sure it’s probably there somewhere… but I can’t dig it out? Can you advise or point me in the right direction please… How to show my recent posts on sidebard??

Thanks again… and in advance! ??

Saludos!

Ah! Sorry… I think I found the answer… Please correct me if I’m wrong… but I think all I need to do is include this:

<?php wp_get_archives(‘type=postbypost&limit=5’); ?>

I shall try it anyway! If I have problems, I shall be back!! ??

Thank you!

on the IMPORT BLOGGER page, i enter my blogger user name and password, and it keeps saying, “Login failed. Please re-enter your username and password.” (my user name and password are correct. also, i am logged out of blogger.)

i think the problem may be that wordpress is checking the wrong directory. when i enter my credentials, it says in the status bar, “waiting for https://www.[domain].com&#8221; even though wordpress was installed by dreamhost in https://www.[domain].com/%5Bsub-directory%5D.

does anyone know how i can fix this?

thank you.

I’m having pretty much the same problem. Except I’m using a different host and my blog isn’t in a subdirectory.

I’m using wordpress 2.0.5. if that matters.

Yeah the Blogger Beta to WordPress import does NOT work.. anyone have any ideas on how to transfer these safely?
