Both eregi() and headers-already-sent bugs are present now in 1.2.9.3.

….bump! Seriously considering puking the whole thing and installing MT.

OK, this utterly trivial migration has now wasted *three weeks* of my valuable time.

WordPress.com have answered suggesting I should try again. Perhaps I may respectfully submit that someone could endeavour to ask them what they have changed and patch the blogger plugin?

Although I don’t know PHP, I’ve been reading the code, and I conclude the problem is in result parsing. As far as I can see, the Google quasi-OAuth authorisation is working, and although the request for the blog metafeed usually times out a couple of times, the plugin handles this. What seems to fail is the metafeed parsing.

blogger to wordpress.com to WordPress work-around

I tried this (see above). I had to upload a 12MB blogger dump on a sub-100kbps link! 12 hours later, no sign of the import being “processed”. Special wp.com blog now deleted. No great loss – I suspect that had they actually imported, they’d have broken all my ManyEyes visualisations and KML maps etc because WP.com kills anything with a <script> tag.

This is getting to be an absolute disaster. WP has regressed over three years.

also, would there happen to be a log file anywhere that might perhaps inform us as to what, in fact, is going wrong?

so you actually imagine that was a valid or helpful reply? strange…

current situation: no (no) exports from blogger->wordpress or blogger->wordpress.com. same errors. blogger file export working again. blogger2wordpress just drops the TCP connection when I try to upload to it.

there are rumours that it’s possible to upload the export file to wp, but the only plugin that seems to fit is RSS Importer, which has an 8MB hard limit (why? why? why? why bother being *deliberately* [moronic expletive deleted]?)

I do not want to learn PHP in order to upload some html files. this is poor.

yes, just tried the hack of (re-) importing to wp.com, exporting that – importing from google to wp.com is failing with the same error.

Also, trying to use RSS Importer got an error asking if /wp-content/ was “writable by the server”.
