Not sure if my last comment went through, but disregard it anyway. The plugin worked fine. Thanks a million!

@AS: I accidentally clicked on “Delete All” on spam page. No idea why it was marked as spam, and now it’s gone. I got a glance, and error 502 is gateway timeout – related on your connection to the Internet. Thanks for testing I’m glad it worked for you.

Thanks for the Haloscan import and WordPress Suicide props. I’ve got a new Blogger blog I’ve been meaning to import, so I’ll have to take a look at your script.

@Justin: Thanks a lot for visiting. Yes it would be an honor to be having an experienced blogger & plugin developer comment on my plugin. I did have some trouble looking for the right built-in function to use inside WordPress.

Many thanks for this. I might not have time to try it for a couple days, but I am excited and will be more than happy to share experiences.

Very nice work!

Categories were imported, there is a problem but renaming the categories should solve it.

if categories have “^” or “‘” the are split in to two categories with the same numbr of posts, the stange thing is that not all that have “�” are split but like i sais a bit of editing should take care of it.

Well done! Worked like a treat on a test server I set up, so I’ll do it again for real soon. Really appreciate the good work.

could you tell me how to install the one mentioned in point number 1 under the subheading Requirements. thanx.

The plugin works excellent, well done. The only problem experienced was the described timeout error. But after 6 rounds everything works fine and the WordPress Suicide plugin was very helpful.

Thanks for letting me know about this, but…

“Will not work if� Your site is not hosted on Blogger server (i.e. on your own domain). You�ll need to republish everything on Blogger.”

None of my Blogger blogs are on blogspot. Are you seriously suggesting I republish a 600+ post blog on blogspot before importing into WordPress? Not that I don’t want to trust your plug in – good work! – but I certainly do NOT trust blogger to do this correctly….

Hi
There is an important typo in your instructions. The permalink structure should be set to:
/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html

Otherwise it looks like that feature works (though I’m testing further) which is great for those of us who like to link back to posts we’ve written previously and/or get search engine traffic.

Thank-you.

@ricardo: You mean accented characters, right? Hmm.. I’ll try to fix that ASAP. In the meantime for others, a workaround is that you can edit the categories in WordPress itself.

@ant: Good luck.

@sn: I believe “allow_url_fopen” and “CURL extension” are links. They are explained further on PHP site. However those can’t be modified or installed yourself unless you own the server. If your hosting provides the ability to have custom php.ini then you can make changes, set allow_url_fopen = On. Otherwise you can ask your hosting to change the setting or install the extension for you.

@Joachim: Yeah, too bad I can do nothing about the timeout error. Do you use Bluehost? So far many Bluehost users have that problem.

@Deek: The only reason for that dependency is that this plugin relies on the full feed from Blogger. I am unsure of how feeds work if you publish via FTP to your own domain. If the feeds are still the same (and you don’t redirect them to FeedBurner) it should work. I am not suggesting anything. By the way if you already use Blogger system to publish your blogs, this means you already trust them to do things correctly. The only difference is you host your contents on your server.

By republishing the contents on blogger I don’t think it will effect your existing published contents in your own domain, will it? Somebody has to confirm on this.

@Stephen: Yes sorry that was not accurate as I was conceptually speaking and didn’t really go and check the correct variables. I guess users can be confused with that, so I will change it in a minute. Thanks for sharing.

yes its the accented characters but not all, weird.

Two questions:

Haloscan: should we run the Haloscan importer first (as those importing using the WP Old Blogger import have to)?

Staged imports: I tried to import 933 posts at once to a test blog and managed about 600. So I started again with staged imports of 10 cycles. At first attempt only cycles 6 and 4 succeeded. Second time 7, 5, 4 and 3 succeeded. So it�s pretty random and the 100 posts in cycle 4 were duplicated. May I suggest a ‘skip cycle’ button? This would have enabled me to skip cycle 4 at the second attempt.

(I might be able to change the max_execution_time on my server, but wouldn�t know how.)

Those of us who don’t use Blogger’s commenting system might benefit from a ‘skip Blogger comments’ option. This would speed things up and might prevent errors like the one described below.

I had much better luck today. Logging in at 8am UK time, when the USA is mostly asleep I was able to import two blogs (one 128 posts, the other 933) in one go very smoothly. Thanks.

With my third (and final blog of 954 posts) it went wrong. Here’s the error message:

Post 954 read from XML: Most powerful blondes� nothing for us non-blondes to worry about
Permalink captured: most-powerful-blondes-nothing-for-us

ERROR: [] Unable to extract comments from http://sndiaryofsorts.blogspot.com/feeds/116049062826995460/comments/default

I wonder if it takes a little time for Blogger to create the comment feeds and if that caused the error.

I am stupid: You need to make sure that all comment feed options are set to full (as well as post feeds).

As I don’t use the Blogger comments I didn’t think of it. Doh!

Finally there. Now to get the templates right!

So many thanks, once again.

@stephen: I think I will make sure that when one selects to have Haloscan import, the normal comment feeds will not be retrieved. I didn’t do this as I didn’t know – if you have Haloscan, do you have normal (Blogger) comments as well?

@ricardo: For the categories mystery, I don’t think it’s caused by the accented characters alone. I saw in one of the user’s blog, the word “Management” became 2 categories: “M” and “anagement”. I still feel bad eventhough this can be fixed by deleting one and renaming another.

Everyone else – well done, thanks for trying.

Hi Ady
Most people using Haloscan do so because they started blogging before Blogger introduced its own commenting system.

I think it would be unusual (and confusing) to use two commenting systems on the same blog (but then someone’s bound to have found an application for that).

And then there are some bloggers who don’t allow comments at all.

I’d probably make retrieving Blogger comments a standalone option as that would cover every eventuality.

(BTW: I was able to complete the import of Haloscan comments to my own blog without a hitch; still customising my new WP template though!)

Best & thanks again

Hi,
I love the import plugin. I was able to import all of my posts right away into WordPress… however I have a problem with the number of comments it is bringing over. Namely, that it limits every single post to 25 comments. If I have 50, it brings 25. If I have 32, it brings 25.

I have since used the suicide several times, but I thought I remembered that the first time I used it, it had more than 25, but maybe it’s my imagination playing tricks on me. I have checked all of my Blogger settings for feed (all set to all as described), and I have checked the “archiving page” that has create post pages to yes as well. I have also retried this about 10 times… all with the same result.

I would be very much indebted to you if you might see if you are having the same problems.

My old blog: http://www.socalbubble.blogspot.com
My new (test) blog: http://www.socalbubble.com/wptestblog/

Also, any one know how to perform forwarding for my blogger pages to maintain my history links?

Thanks all,
John Doe

@Stephen: Well done! I am sorry I didn’t have the time to provide skipping though.

@mari: Thanks for using the plugin.

@John Doe: Urgh.. I guess I didn’t think about the number of comments in a particular post!!! Maybe there’s a limit to it as well. This is the first time a user reported this, so you must have a very popular blog. I will try… I will try… (x 1000) to find time to look at it.

Ady,
You’re the best!

Yes, many of my “bubble blogger” cohort have quite a few comments… it sparks debate to say the least. I have seen threads with more than 1000 comments, and not a single one spam!

I would really like to see this work, so good luck. It’s greek to me.

Ady, judging from the comments you’ve definitely written a popular tool—and you’ve beat the WP developers to the ball to boot!

I used it a few nights ago to import a Blogger link blog with 3322 posts! I decided to import it to a local database where I could increase the memory and execution time settings in php.ini (there was no way I was going to click next and wait 80 seconds 32 times, ha).

Overall I think it took about an hour to run. I’m wondering what the essential bottleneck is (I didn’t have a chance to look into your code much—but it seems to use the same mechanism as the Haloscan importer). Perhaps it’s just the time for Blogger to produce a feed with 3000 entries?

Anyway, once I ran my Haloscan import script (which I really should package as a plugin, it’s based on the old WP 1.5-style importers) it worked like a charm with your ‘Haloscan import’ option. What a treat!

@jeff: well done. I am glad it worked for you.

@Justin: Great! Well, the developers made use of the Google API, which IMHO is the better (and proper) way to do it.

The main bottleneck is the need to do multiple GET requests for the feed. From my analysis months ago, the feeds only allow a max of 100 posts to be retrieved. This means that we have to get the feeds over and over again. I think the same problem is there with comments, as John Doe (above) had only 25 comments imported per post. I didn’t think of that earlier.

Well, your explanation on the Haloscan importer script was clear, so I just included the post ID

The import went very smoothly but the whole permalink structure is missing: dates, categories, everything. The blog homepage is fine but clicking on other links yields nothing and I see the files are not on my site.

Do I have to select a nondefault permalink format using Word Press before I import my Blogger files?

This seriously rocked! Thank you!

RD,
That’s correct. You need to enter the following as a the permalink structure:
/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html
Of course, now that you’ve already imported everything not using that permalink structure, you’ll need to now use the suicide to clear out your blog (or do it manually)

Good Luck,
JD

Thanks. Before posing this query, I deleted all the content manually, used the Word Press permalink options menu to choose what I think is the equivalent of your suggestion, and then reimported my Blogger blog content(which is very small, BTW.) Still no dice with the categories, or in fact, with any other files other than the homepage.

I also cannot add categories to NEW postings, nor do any archives get created, though the home page looks fine.

A note on my Blogger permalinks. The permalinks are structured by blog entry title, not prefaced by year and month. Is this what is screwing things up?

And would it also affect the ability to add new posts properly to the file structure?

I wish I knew how to edit my comments so that I wouldn’t have to clutter up this page.

Correction: My Blogger posts are in year-month-title format.

Via domainname.org/bloglocation/wp-admin/options-permalink.php, there is an option to customize permalinks. I chose option 2–date & name based. This should work, right?

Should I use Suicide and just try again from scratch? Previously, I manually deleted all the posts.

Fantastic. Me ha pasado todos mis post de blogger (biharenea.blogspot.com alojados en blog.biharenea.eu (dominio propio)) sin ningun tipo de problema y a la primera. Gracias. Antes de esto me estaba volviendo loco para poder hacer el cambio.

@RD: No actually it does not matter whether you import before or after you change anything in your blog options (options – > permalink). What the maintain permalink option do is make sure that %postname% contains the same one as in blogger. That’s all, since blogger uses a different algorithm than WP does to determine this name.

For example, if I were to host this page in blogger it might become http://www.romantika.name/v2/2007/01/31/import-blogger-wordpress/ or http://www.romantika.name/2007/01/import-blogger-wordpress.html
and if I import to WordPress without the maintain permalink option it becomes the current URL you see on top. That’s the only purpose of the import option.

This is particularly useful only for people who publish via FTP and have their own domain. For example if your blogger is http://somename.blogspot.com/2007/01/mypost-here.html and you import to a WordPress installed on a domain it’ll become http://www.somename.com/2007/01/mypost-here.html it’ll become less useful as your permalink is not maintained (unless you redirect from blogger). Please note you still have to manually maintain this in the (option – > permalink) as /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html for it to work. Initial install does not have the permalink structure set up, and is in the form http://www.somename.com/?p=1 (for first post as an example).

You can edit WordPress permalink option (option – > permalink) before or after. It does not matter. The plugin does not change this setting in WordPress. It just maintains %postname% to be the same as in blogger.

One pitfall I see sometimes is that users don’t have write permission to the / directory, so WordPress can’t write into .htaccess to activate the permalink structure. Do make sure that .htaccess have been created/updated for the new permalinks to work.

I hope my explanation is good to understand.

I’m still confused on what I am supposed to do. I already changed the permalink option in my Word Press installation by checking the second option, i.e. year-month-posttitle. Adn when I imported my content from Blogger, I checked the maintain permalink option. But still I get no working permalinks on my Earthlink site, though indeed the permalink names were conserved.

Now do I have to manually add something to the .htaccess file? If so, what exactly? Please spell it out because I do not understand what you are saying. And is there anything more I have to do to activate/maintain permalinks, or is this all?

I goofed by getting the permalink format wrong. I neglected to notice that a custom format is required as indicated by others here. Menu option 2 adds the DATE between the month and the posttitle. So I made the customized correction to the permalink options, suicided the blog to be on the safe side, and re-imported it. BUT STILL NO FUNCTIOING PERMALINKS.

I don’t think this guy understands the concept of permalinks. Dude, empty your blog, and then don’t tamper with the permalink options in WordPress. Import. See what happens. Anything comes out on your blog?

True. You can worry about the permalinks later, after you are sure the posts have been imported correctly. Just check the “maintain permalinks” option while importing.

I think RD feels that I am at fault here with his permalink problem so I am going to repeat again: this plugin only saves the %postname% part from blogger, and it is up to users to configure it in WordPress

This will be my last comment. Actually, I do understand the procedure, and followed it properly. The result was an impecabble main blog page, on which noe of the links work. But I se the rest is my problem, to be addressed via help on the WordPress site, esp. since Earthlink itself is unhelpful. If you’ll permit one last question, since you brought this up earlier:

One pitfall I see sometimes is that users don�t have write permission to the / directory, so WordPress can�t write into .htaccess to activate the permalink structure. Do make sure that .htaccess have been created/updated for the new permalinks to work.”

I know I there is a .htaccess file, but I have no idea whether it has been properly “updated”, whatever that means, for the new permalinks to work. If you are so inclined, could you tell me what I have to do to check this out?

In sum, the fault is elsewhere; your import plugin seems to work smoothly and perfectly. I misunderstood, thinking that the plugin itself creates the permalink structure on the WordPress blog, but obviously it does not, and that’s not your responsibility.

@RD: OK, in WordPress permalinks option, at the bottom of the page (before the logo), do you see this:

If not, and you have configured your permalinks, then most likely it has already been saved. Another way is to download .htaccess to your machine and examine it. (The box will only be displayed if WordPress failed to write to .htaccess – like mine, I set it that way).

BTW what’s Earthlink?

I compared the file you gave to my htaccess file. The only differences are:

(1) The code you give is nested in between these two lines of code:

# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress

(2) The only other difference is that this piece of necessary code is included . . . preceding the BEGIN statement:

AddHandler php5-script .php

Earthlink is an ISP which also provides web hosting. They are well known but I don’t see their ads on TV anymore. I don’t think they’re doing a great job at catching up to the state of the art. And they have not been informative so far. It’s possible that Earthlink is screwing me up and not Word Press. But I haven’t figured out the Permalinks problem yet. Thanks for your efforts.

Yes, .htaccess has different effects on different hosting companies. Post your old & new URL here, or if you want you can email me so that I can have a look at suggest on the next steps, if any.

[...] ps – if any chance you is wanting to import from new style blogger to WP 2.1 the plugin is available here [...]

Fantastic! Thank you, I was holding off switching to WP until I could find a suitable import for new style blogger blogs. Installed this plugin and was all done in about 5 minutes :O)

Top Drawer!!!

Thanks for this fantastic script; however I have a problem with my permalinks – I wonder if you can offer any advice. I have WordPress (2.1) set up to use /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.htm but the Permalink URL that is generated by the import is in the form http://www.domainname.co.uk/blog/year/month/httpbloggeridblogspotcomyearmonthpostnamehtm.htm. Please can someone offer some advice as the new Blogger is driving me insane and I’m desperate to move to WordPress but need to maintain my URL structure (for Google’s sake!)

@Neill: Great!

@Mark: That’s weird. If you still haven’t figured it out, do consider sending me the link to your new WP blog so that I can have a general look and give suggestions if I can. In the import page, the plugin displays the captured %postname% from blogger. Do you see http[bloggerid]blogspotcom[year][month][postname]htm (if you do, we have a problem – please ignore the square brackets, just put there for clarity) ? Also I will need the bloggerId so that I can run tests to see what happened. As usual if you’re not comfortable in posting it here, email me directly.

*A screenshot would be really helpful, if possible.

@Ady,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. My original blog is at http://www.markwilson.co.uk/blog/ but that’s published via FTP so, to meet the script’s requirements I moved the blog to http://mark-wilson.blogspot.com/ and am trying to migrate it to a new WordPress installation at http://www.youknowone.co.uk/blog/

Once this is working, I can redirect my original domain name to the new site and all the old links will still work, but running on WordPress!

@Mark: I found the problem. Your Blogger Id contained a dash character which is not recognized by the plugin when looking for the %postname%. No need to change anything on your side – since this is quite an urgent bug and a very petit bug, I’ve updated the plugin to Bugfix 1 and it now recognizes the dash and underscore characters. Please try it out. Thanks for reporting this and for the complete info given!

And… I am sorry it messed up your import. Looks like you have to re-import.

@Ady – thanks for writing that fix (and for doing it so quickly). It worked a treat – 711 posts migrated to the test site with just a few clicks. Tomorrow I’ll start the migration for real and soon I’ll be free of Blogger

Thanks a lot! You’ve made my (blog-) life easy. It worked 100%.

Wow. This is really great, and I congratulate you on your contribution to the WP community. I have one question, though, and it’s kind of a unique one.
I’m trying to help a friend import her blogspot blog over to WordPress. It’s a metablog; she excerpts articles and posts from around the Web and redirects people to the entire post.

Now. Although in the feed, the title is the permalink (as normal), on the blog itself, the title of each post leads to the original article from which the excerpt was taken. The plugin doesn’t bring those links (to the referenced article) in. Am I screwed, or is there some way that you can suggest I could work around this? Frankly, I’m not even clear on how she did it in the first place.

Guys, maybe I’m just doing something stupid, but I can’t unzip the plugin! what on earth am i doing wrong…? im on a mac running osX and using stuffit expander and getting an error (it says something about 37).

Hi there. I am using this plug-in and have encountered a problem. After the import I am left missing a few months of posts.

I’m having the same problem as the person above. Please advise on what to do since I just went through all the steps of downloading WordPress and installing, I’d really like to be able to import my blogger posts asap. Thank you.

@Chris: I completely understand what she needs, but I am really not sure if that is possible with WordPress. If I stumble upon any news I’ll update here.

@Joi: Katie (below) has found the workaround – renaming the zip file to a shorter name before unzipping it. Weird, huh? 32-bit OS should support long filenames

@James: Someone else emailed me the same problem except that the problem is some posts prior to a date (older posts). In your case it’s the newer ones. I found some amazingly disturbing inconsistencies between the feeds blogger produce and the posts in blogs having this problem. I suggested to republish the blog, and turning full feeds off and then on again. That’s not a guarantee but worth a try. Let me know if it worked.

@Katie: Thanks for the information you sent via email. Appreciate it.

Dear comment subscribers, a new version has been posted and the plugin is now known as Blogger RSS Import. This fix is important for future releases of WordPress, and for importing more than 25 comments (as experienced by John Doe).

Enjoy!

This was a great help, thank you.
(All good on WP 2.0)

It would be really nice if this plugin both read the labels off my posts (as it claims to do), but also read the rel=tag data out of the body of my old posts, so that all categories get imported.

Also, will I have to change the autodiscovery links on my Blogger blog temporarily back to the standard ones (I’m using FeedBurner, but the other feed URLs are still very much there, just not linked to) for it to work?

Thanks so much for making this.

This is awesome. I didn’t do anything really fancy with Blogger Beta so it was a very smooth transaction. 126 posts with comments. It imported the one category that I had not already created when I first moved to wordpress (I moved and waited for a way to move the old posts.)

What a nice surprise a the end that I could add the data for those commenters that I knew (email and websites as approptiate.

Hi. First of all, thank you for writing this great plugin. It has already made my life much easier. Second, I’m trying to figure out how to do the following. My blog has a lot of internal links (references from one post to another). When I import to wordpress, all of those links in the text still point to the old blogger blog. Is there any simple way to get all the links in the text of my post to point to the archives of my new blog, not my old one? Thanks.

In the version released on February 26th, the following change must be made in the code.

On line 355, the ‘$x’ should be changed to ‘$y’, making the line of code:
$datetime = strtotime($commentsArray[$y]['pubDate']);

This will make the comment dates import correctly.

-John

As I’ve indicated before, your utility works like a charm, but Earthlink is a pain in the ass and I could not get my permalinks to work, nor have I been able to get meaningful assistance from Earthlink or WordPress.

I have another question. While there are tons of themes available for layout and design of blogs, it would be nice if the theme used for one’s original Blogger blog could be imported and then modified just as it is possible to import the blog content.

@Ben: If you used version 1.1 check your comments as they all might have the wrong dates. This is fixed in version 1.2

@Stephen: I’ll try to look on your posts and make changes if possible. As for the feeds question, it should be fine if the original feeds are still available.

@David: well done. Please Check your comments as they might have the wrong dates!

@James: Try lowering the number of posts per cycle. It even timed out with 5 posts?

@Alex: That sounds interesting. However I think that can be made into a separate plugin. Let me do some research and if I have the time I’ll create it.

@RD: That would be nice. I saw some WP sites uses themes that looks like Blogger themes. Try searching for it.A plugin to import the themes is possible, I think. But that’s really not an easy thing to do.

@John Bindel: Thanks for this. I didn’t notice the date was wrong!! I’ve updated to version 1.2

All: For those who downloaded and used version 1.1 I suggest you download 1.2 and re-import. The comment dates were all messed up. I apologize for this inconvenience.

Try as hard as I might, it is not importing the comments. The open mind isn’t even helping.
Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Please help asap. mucho thanks.

@bj: Please provide more info. See problems section above.

I tried to re-import my blogger posts and found that the plugin got hung up when it reached a post that had no comments. I didn’t have too many comments so I manually changed them on my blog, but I thought you might want to know.

Ady: I’m considering a switch from Blogger.com to WordPress, but I cannot figure out whether your Blogger RSS Plug-In works (fully) with WordPress or Blogger.com. I have not even begun to explore WordPress until I figure out how to import articles (postings) from Blogger.com for my site Superchefblog.com — and I’m worried that your Plug-In expects standard new Blogger.com usage, specifically usage Blogspot.com which includes Layouts. The very reason I am ready to move to WordPress is because Blogger.com has wimped out of supporting FTP sites like mine… I would be grateful for your reply – Juliette

@David: Maybe the connection timed out? Did the server it give you any error message?

@Juliette: Depends on what you mean by fully. Please see the list of features above for what this plugin is able to do. The main purpose of this plugin is to import posts and comments from Blogger.com to WordPress, but some users did request for extra features and if it is possible I’ll try to make it happen!

@Gerente: Your comment went into SPAM. However I’ve provided a fix (version 1.2.1). I think David is having the same issue. This is due to a no longer working parameter when retrieving from Blogger. I sense that they are changing things.

I use WordPress 2.1.2 and can’t import all posts from blogspot. I get some mysql error messages

@ju: after receiving your comment I immediately downloaded 2.1.2 on my development server and tried it out. It worked fine here. Can you provide a screenshot or give me the error message?

I’m doint it again at my localhost and it seems that it works fine.

Why it shows me that I have 500 posts when I have 1035?

And what can I do when current step failed? Refresh?

I think it will be good if I can choose start post number in case something goes wrong

I’m having the same problem. Looks like blogger may be getting wise to this. Looks like they are limiting this to 500?? I’m getting only the most recent 500 posts, the blog has 5159 posts on it…

@ju, @Chris: True. Another user emailed me last week with the same problem. Only 500 posts can be seen in the feeds, and the feeds sometimes are jumbled up and not arranged according to date! I have yet to find a solution to this limitation. If the feeds are indeed set to have a maximum of 500, all that can be done is import 500 recent posts, deleting them and importing again. This is indeed very dangerous and there’s no guarantee it’ll work. Maybe something was changed, as in the earlier life of this plugin, some users did have thousands of posts like you guys. Just curious if this is related to not upgraded template – have your blogs been upgraded to the new template in blogger? I have no idea yet how we can check this.

I think in this case, Blogger API implementation would be better than RSS feeds. WordPress 2.2 is in bleeding version in the SVN repository, and it includes an importer based on the Google API (http://wordpress.com/blog/2007/02/06/new-blogger-importer/).

I don’t think re-inventing the wheel is such a good idea, so maybe users with a large number of posts can wait for a while for 2.2 to be released.

Due to these limitations, this plugin has come very near to its end of life, as expected. Nevertheless I am quite pleased with the number of people it has helped, and I’ll continue with minor improvements (when I have the time) for whoever can utilize it now.

I see that… so I went to WP.com, created a blog (so that I could then export from there)… and Blogger is blocking access from THERE too!

They must be getting panicked about the exodus of people from Blogger.

Thanks anyway for your help.

Strangely enough, it does not work for me. I download the file in my “plugins” folder, but there is simply no script at all from the wordpress panel. It is like the file simply do not exist. I don’t understand why.

@Louis, download zip version and extract php file.

1-st time I tried directly with phps versions, link doesn’t work fine.

Do you rename phps to php?

[...] Plugin: Import New Blogger To WordPress � romantika.name (tags: wordpress) [...]

@Louis: Yes, do not download the phps version. If you want you can use txt version: here

I was dumb to provide the .phps version – of course it wouldn’t work with all the html formatting in it, it’s no longer pure text!!!

I have been trying to help a friend come over from blogger to wordpress. Tested the plugin with a test blog I created. It worked fine a few weeks ago. Been tying to bring his posts over today. I have encountered the limit of 500 posts if I use version 1.2 or 1.2.1. If I use 1.1 (which I used when testing a few weeks ago) I can import all 2160 posts. However, if I try to use version 1.1 I can not import comments. With version 1.2.1 I can import comments, though it often times out with blogger.

Suggestions Ady? Should I wait for version 2.2. of wordpress?

To be honest, I couldn’t get it to work, even though all of the settings should have been correct. I don’t doubt that it does work though; maybe I messed up somewhere. Thanks for trying though.

I did eventually manage to transfer everything, so no worries.

Sorry I was quite busy lately.

@Robbie: The post retrieving engine does not change between 1.1 and 1.2.1, only the comments did. 1.1 does not import full comments, and 1.2 fixed that. I guess the 500 post limitation is really final. Sadly, yes, WordPress 2.2 with Blogger API implementation would be the remedy to this issue. I hope so

@natnit: I’m sorry to hear that Thanks for you as well for trying it out.

Since the import, she’s added some more posts to Blogger that I’ll need to move over. Is there a way to move only the most recent posts from Blogger? Or would I need to delete the entries that I already have imported in WordPress and run the full import again?

I imported a friends blog from New Blogger (www.quoclam.com) and the Archives page does not work. It shows the posts for that month…but in a directory structure and not a page with that month’s posts on it. I’ve tried different templates, so I am thinking the problem is with the import code. Am I missing a setting/documented step somewhere?

@S.L.: You can re-import and skip the earlier cycles. Once it overlaps you continue and delete the double posts later.

@Lady Aeval: You’re welcome

@Brad: The importer does not take care of the archive pages. WordPress does that. However if you want please email me the new URL so that I can have a look.

I have been trying a trying to get this to work, it keeps timing out. I tried from many different internet connections to make sure that it was not a speed thing.

I finally used this solution: I created a blog using wordpress.com and then imported everything from the New Blogger. This imported all 140 posts and then went through and imported all 280 comments. Then I went into the wordpress.com blog and exported the blog to RSS. Then I opened the wordpress blog that I host and imported the RSS file.

Worked perfectly – got all the posts and all the comments. I do not know if there is stuff that did not get imported, or any special blog things that this process misses. But it worked for me.

Then I had a bunch of repeated posts from all the times that I tried and failed with this plug-in so I deleted all the duplicates.

I for one still cannot get this to work. I have had my site on blogger for a long time (thegoodhuman.blogspot.com) and have now decided to start on my own domain (thegoodhuman.com). I download the plug in, install it, activate it, go to the manage tab and hit the Blogger RSS Import button, the page just keeps refreshing itself over and over again, trying to do something, but not accomplishing anything. It does this for hours until I stop it. Any help would be appreciated, I am at wits end trying to get 400 posts from the old blog to the new one. If I cant get it to work will have to start from scratch again. Thanks so much!

@Uisce: Looks like I missed a spot – made assumption that username wouldn’t have any special characters. Would you like a fix?

@james: You are importing locally to a machine that can use several different ISP connections? Or you server have multiple different routes to the blogger servers? The speed problem is between the blogger server and the destination server. Hey I didn’t know what wordpress.com is now able to import the new blogger! Well done for those guys. Thanks for sharing, and sorry this plugin did not work for you.

@David: Sorry for the delay but I already replied to your email. I am suspecting that this has got something to do with Firefox on Mac, anybody else have the same problem / any suggestions?

@azrin: This plugin was written specifically for the NEW blogger. However do take note on the 500 max limit.

On the 500 max limit, some users did manage to get all posts imported by importing 500 first, and deleting the imported posts from blogger, then import again. Be careful, as I see that the feeds are not ordered chronologically so you risk of deleting post that have not been imported yet!

@Beehive: That error is neither related to nor caused by this plugin as that is a PHP error.

Interpreting the error: try removing the file wp-content/akismet/akismet.php and try to login. After you are able to login, re-upload akismet.php from the original WordPress zip. I am afraid that there might be some problems with akismet.php you uploaded (maybe it got corrupted or something). Furthermore, the file contains only 673 lines in version 2.0

Good luck.
