WordPress Importer blank page step 2

  • Hi,

    I’am trying to import an XML file to my new self-hosted site.

    I’ve exported all contents to an XML file in my wordpress.com Dashboard blog, no problems. File size is 281kb.

    When I go to my own domain WordPress (4.1) I do install the WordPress Importer plugin, everything is ok.

    When I upload the XML file, step 1 appears and I do pick the username and check the box, then in the address bar I can see step=2 but the Import page is completely blank.
    Only one page has been imported, if I do F5 it will import some articles too, but not everything.

    What’s going on? How can I see what is the problem?

    Thanks a lot,
    Ernesto.

    Hey! I’ve resolved the problem.

    I was checking the download images checkbox.
    Not checking the box, everything gets imported succesfully. ??

    After an hour of digging, it turns out you can actually check the image box after all, and be succesfull

    My first mistake was importing an xml file of a restricted (pw protected) site.wordpress.com
    … i should have set that open just for the import.
    Because after my first import, no images.

    So I set the site to unrestricted, and yes importing ended in this step 2 white screen.
    I did however see that my images were imported after that.

    The posts I had imported previously, still pointed to the other site.
    Ne next few imports I tried gave me the white screen again.

    What finally did it for me was, deleting all the posts and pages and emptying both Thrash cans (dont forget this!)

    And also deleting all library content, categories, tags, users, menus
