Not sure why wordpress would default to public_html instead of www.
However just by changing the permissions to 755 in the /wp-content/upload folder, I was able to fix the problem

Bump from me as well. I run a fan blog for a local band, and I would like for the fans to upload the images of the gigs, instead of me going to fetch them and upload them. Any clues that could help?

Thanks,
Damian

holy smokes!!!!!! talk about trial and error…dang….
ok.. let’s hope that this will help at least somebody…

Here’s what I finally figure out……
now this will apply to people that have accounts with blogger.com AND are posting through FTP to their own domain AND are still using the old blog (not the new upgrade)…
After much F’ing around, I finally got it!!!
If your blogger.com account is being hosted through FTP, you will need to login, and click on “settings” and then “publishing”.
Blooger will let you know that you MUST upgrade in order to change your template. So go ahead and click on the option to switch your current blog to a hosted blog on blogger. i.e. YOURNAME.blogspot.com
Once this is done, THEN you can use the importer within your WP account to transfer the blog posts and comments…
It seems that WP can import from a hosted blog i.e YOURNAME.blogspot.com but not from your own domain i.e. https://www.yourdomain.com
Sounds simple right? I guess it is, and I was just being thrown off by all the errors I was getting.
as you are importing the posts, you need to keep an eye on your WP admin page as it might time out, so you will need to click on “continue” a few times

If there’s something I forgot and it’s not working for you, let me know and I’ll be glad to help. As I write this posts, I”m successfully transferring all my 200plus posts, and I’m able to view them…

Thanks for reading my madness.

The errors above happen when I try to import the blog content from my blogger account to my free wordpress.com free account (as I read above).

When I try to import from my www.ads-software.com account I get the following errors:

Warning: array_values() [function.array-values]: The argument should be an array in /home/dd0723/public_html/jupaman/wp-admin/import/blogger.php on line 605

Warning: join() [function.join]: Invalid arguments passed in /home/dd0723/public_html/jupaman/wp-admin/import/blogger.php on line 606

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/dd0723/public_html/jupaman/wp-admin/import/blogger.php on line 618

Hope that’s enough info.

I shall also add the following when trying to use the importer:

Import Blogger

Howdy! This importer allows you to import posts and comments from your Blogger account into your WordPress blog.

To use this importer, you must have a Google account and an upgraded (New, was Beta) blog hosted on blogspot.com or a custom domain (not FTP).

The first thing you need to do is tell Blogger to let WordPress access your account. You will be sent back here after providing authorization.

Then the next page is followed by:

This website has not registered with Google to establish a secure connection for authorization requests. We recommend that you continue the process only if you trust the following destination:

https://jupaman.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?import=blogger&noheader=true

When I proceed, then I get a popup message with:

Nothing was imported, had you already already imported the blog?

Then I try again and I get:

There was a problem opening a connection to Blogger. This is what went wrong:

Connection timed out (110)

Then it just goes around in that loop… Hope that’s enough information to get an answer

Thanks again,

Damian

ok, here goes nothing… I’m a noobie with wordpress, and I even purchased the wordpress for dummies book. I’ve been searching for a post with a similar situation to mine, and this one is the one that comes the closest, but not quite. This is my situation:

I own 3 domains – fine
they all have blogs- fine
I downloaded and installed WP on each domain- fine
everything is working as it should- check
the problem I’m having is actually moving all my 200plus posts from blooger to WP.
The situation: I’m FTP’ing my posts through blogger to my own domain, so currently my files are on my server. The old blog is currently assessable through the same URL, and I’m able to access the new blog installation as well… now I just need to move over all those posts so that I can remove the old index.html and have index.php work as it should… this works fine. so all I need is to move over my current content.
I’ve tried the “Import” from within my admin page, but I get a bunch of javascript() errors.

Can somebody point me to the right direction?
much appreciated.

Please let me know if you need any URL samples or any questions

Thanks
Damian
