I was also thinking, how come the WordPress.com importer allows you to import posts without images/attachments, but the Blogger.com plugin does not?

If the reasoning behind the decision is to do with image attachment sizing, then this doesn’t make much sense.

Yes I have the same problem!

Thanks Otto!

The reason I ask, is that I have a looooot of images which keeps tmiing out during import (256M memory and 500 sec script limit on server). So, my plan was to import just the markup, then leave the images on Google for now. Maybe use https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/media-tools/ to import the external images afterwards so the thumbs can be regenerated.

The Blogger_Importer class seems to have this option:

const IMPORT_IMG = true; // Should we import the images (boolean)

I tried changing IMPORT_IMG to false, but no luck.

Hopefully this can be a added as an option in future. For now, the only option is https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/blogger-importer-extended/ which somehow works around the memory issue by automatically restarting. However, it’s a pretty crappy plugin that breaks slugs with certain character sets.

I agree, this would be a pretty cool bonus to an already awesome plugin ??

Just change your primary email address to something that won’t disturb you ??

Have you tried contacting Yahoo for support? They may be best placed to fix this.

I’d recommend creating a new type of page template in your theme. This would allow you to add any php to the content as required.

You just need to check the box that says “Download files and attachments” when running the import. Then your images etc will be copied over ??

agree!
