wordpress.com blog import taking over 48 hours

  • Hi,
    I imported my content from mysantamonicalife.wordpress.com to calicooking.com on Thursday morning. My media has transferred but nothing else has. It’s now been over 48 hours and I tried doing the import again yesterday night but it gave errors saying everything was a duplicate. I used google chrome when I did the import. Can someone please help me figure out what to do?

    Thank you!

    I just tried doing the import again through safari but I get errors saying this media already exists, since I’ve already imported everything 2 days ago. I know the media & my categories & tags are there, but none of my posts are showing up still. GAH it’s been over 2 days!!

    I have never tried what you are doing, but I do know content and database are not the same and that your database is not in wp-content.

    I’m not totally sure what you are saying =/

    I imported all of my wordpress.com posts, categories, tags, comments, etc.. in this way before and it took less than a day to do. So I know the process works, I’ve done it before and it’s in all the “how to” articles on transferring wordpress.com blogs to www.ads-software.com so I know I’m doing it correctly, I just am confused now at why it’s taking over 48 hours. I dont think it’s supposed to take that long so I just wanted to check to see if anyone could help.

    thank you for your response though! maybe you can elaborate more since I’m a little confused by what you are saying.

    Just guessing, I am suggesting you will have to find a way to copy your database separately since you already have your content that is now blocking a re-try of everything. I have heard wordpress.com has some kind of “assisted transfer” service (or whatever it might be called), and maybe that will help you get things completed.

    Hmm, not sure how to copy the database any other way. WordPress does have a transfer assistance but it costs like $150, and when I already managed to do the process once easily myself I definitely don’t want to pay for it this time! ??
    are there any www.ads-software.com support staff around who can help? it’s frustrating that there’s no support contact for them directly.
    thanks for your suggestions though

    Maybe someone at your new host could help? Maybe there is something hanging things up there.

    Does anyone know if I can stop a current WordPress import and start it over? It’s not been 3 days… Tried my host they said its a problem on www.ads-software.com’s end. Soooo any WordPress people out there that can help me with this…? Please?!

    Any www.ads-software.com staff members that can help me with this? Is it possible to just reset the import? I know it was over the weekend that I asked my question, so probably not the right time, but maybe today is better? ??

    transferring from mysantamonicalife.wordpress.com to calicooking.com

    Thanks!
