I guess we are still looking for a solution for this issue. My blog has hundreds of comments and it wouldn’t be practical to go in and edit them individually.
I just imported from a WordPress xml file to another WordPress install (both are versions 2.8.5) and everything was brought over except the user_id for comments.
I understand the issue with mapping each user’s comments if there is no user account but attributing a user_id to the post author doesn’t seem like it should be an issue.
Looking for some moderator help.
Thanks.
