Oh yeah…btw…I switched back to the old version 0.93 and everything worked just fin.

OH MAN!! mordauk!

i can’t wait to try this out tomorrow morning…coffee in hand. Programmer hat on.

So excited.

thanks

Mordauk!

thanks for the speedy reply. great great.

and yes, i am pretty comfortable with code.
I’ve done over a 1000 mods to my site using php and html.
A little more fearful when it comes to sql.

Tell me what i can do!!! I’m all ears.

that’s exactly what i’m looking for

POST TYPES & CUSTOM FIELDS available to every site on a multi-site.
mordauk, You can do this?

Alright, I got rid of the ampersands in the XML files before importing (simply find and replace works like a charm), and boy am I happy. I wish i could edit my previous post (i said “completely unusable”)…because with that little fix (admittedly difficult to find), I have been very very happy. Thanks.

below i’ve pasted the three lines that i changed (removed the &’s) and got things working. i didn’t go through them to test each individually. I hope this helps.

<post_content>this is good for hostels, hotels, campsites & resorts</post_content>

<description>check this only if the video isn\'t our standard wide shape. Stelios uses the standard shape. iphones record the standard shape. But if its older and taller (aspect ratio 4:3) check this.</description>

<description>Something to do that isn\'t food. A tour, safari, hike, walk, sporting event, film, etc.</description>

I figured out the bug.
It took me a couple hours of hand wringing.

DONT USE AMPERSANDS ANYWHERE or single quotes
”””

because they get converted into ampersands
&&&&&&&

i had written “camping & hostels”
and the code had produced other ones….they all need to be deleted manually.

This looks like an easy fix. But it needs to be fixed.

ugh. nothing worse than setting up a dozen or so types and variables and custom fields on the development side just to find out you can’t import them. PAINFUL.
Further, I haven’t seen such an unfriendly response to a failed action in years.
After trying to import (all other plugins off…tried on different browsers) I get this

“Import/Export
Error parsing XML
xmlParseEntityRef: no name”

That’s it.
I tried it with just using the text import as well. Same msg.
UGH! Completely unusable. I’m using the latest version of WordPress. And the latest version of the plugin. Would love to see a way around this.
