I have this same problem. I’m not a total noobie really, but feel that maybe my problem is somewhere backend like SQL or something?

Anyway, everything is uploaded to the correct folder

(wp-polls.php is in /wp-content/plugins/wp-polls)

I’ve tried deleting the folder, redownloading the archive, and reuploading the folder. Nothing seems to work… Any ideas?

This is what I want as well. Unfortunately, TDO Mini Forms will not work on my server. I spoke with the developer, and it seems that due to a security plugin on my host, I am unable to save the form widgets.

So.. any ideas?

By content, I mean allow anybody to submit a post, that I can possibly moderate.

Solution to this?

I haven’t been able to find a solution yet… ??

I would like to know the answer to this as well.

I ran this script, but lots of posts that weren’t even duplicates were deleted. When I try to import my posts again, lots of them aren’t included, and I’m guessing it’s because of this query I ran. What do I do now?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I thought I had updated the permalinks already, but it turns out that .htaccess wasn’t writable.

Should I add something to that file?

Yep, I had to create my own in public_html.

This is all that’s in it:

php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
php_value post_max_size 20M
php_value max_execution_time 200
php_value max_input_time 200

update:

I fixed the size problem by compressing the archive to GZIP and uploading it.

Well, that worked… sort of. I managed to get a small xml file imported. This does me no good though because it wont accept 4MB file.

On an unrelated note, after importing, wordpress spit out a bunch of these:

set_time_limit() has been disabled for security reasons

Should I set the upload folder to 777 then?

Alright, I’ve gotten a little further. I tried uploading a backup from one single author, which was a much smaller file. (I didn’t think this was an issue though, since I maximized the upload limit from 2MB to 20MB via .htaccess)

It gave me this message:

Unable to create directory /public_html/wp-content/uploads/2008/09. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

Keep in mind, all permissions are 755. So I checked via FTP and no such folder was even created. I tried creating the folders, and now it’s telling me:

The uploaded file could not be moved to /public_html/wp-content/uploads/2008/09.

Hm…

I have the newest version of WordPress as well.

Is there an alternative to importing the XML via HTTP, such as FTP perhaps?
