Try checking your server’s logs to see if there was some kind of error.
Same issue is happening to me –
Server logs say nothing – the PHP script just doesn’t seem to want to work
It’s really odd since I’m fairly savvy with PHP.
Any help? Is there a diff version of the script I can pull down?
I just recently switched from MT – so I understand your frustration.
Did you ever look into the import.txt? It has data right?
Maybe try cutting the big file into smaller ones. WP has no problem importing several sections one after another?
Guru – Gracias.
10MB import file from MT (been a couple of years).
> split -50000 import.txt – new.
Now – the exhaustive import process. Thanks.
Will make a note to send the WP guys that for longtime users, might want to think about splitting up the MT import file. I guess in the script there’s something that limits huge files.
So theoretically you could look for that limit and increase it… I might look into that. I wonder if this is what would cause me to not get a submit button on Step 1 of the import-mt.php process. Any ideas about that??? (I have a thread about that at http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic.php?id=25752 )
I will try breaking my import file up and see if it helps my problem at all. When you broke it up, where is the best/safest place to break the file? Just between any posts?
I’m experiencing the same symptoms — import-mt.php fails to load when step=2 is passed. In IE, I receive a “Domain not found” error, and in Firefox, there is no response. I’ve trimmed my import.txt file down to one entry, so size cannot be an issue. I’ve also comfirmed that there are no typos in my EXPORT definition at the top of the script. Is there any further troubleshooting that could be done?
TIA for any suggestions!
Addendum. I tried commenting out all of “step 1”, and then uncommenting section by section, to see if I could isolate the problem. Oddly, by the time I had uncommented the entire case, step 1 was still functioning. I received the following error, however, which refers to a point in case 2:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /u2/home/katchan/public_html/blog/wp-admin/import-mt.php on line 139
When I check my blog, the entry is appearing on the public side, however it is not appearing in the administrative interface. I.e, when I go to “Manage Posts”, the post is not their, nor do I have the option of browsing to the month/year that the post is attributed to.
I’ll need to dig into case 2 more later, to see what’s going on there.
🙁
