    I upgraded my blog. Set up multiuser. Created a new site for my daughter. I exported her old WordPress blog (2.9.2) via the exporter in the admin panel.

    I want to import that file (.xml) to the new blog on my multiuser site. Strangely the new 3.0 does not have a built in importer like 2.9.2 had. I tried to upload the WordPress Importer Plugin recommended and I got this error:

    Installing Plugin: WordPress Importer 0.2

    Downloading install package from http://downloads.wp.xz.cn/plugin/wordpress-importer.zip…
    Unpacking the package…
    Could not create directory. /public_html

    Suggestions please as I have three other blogs to do this to as well.

    For importing, create the new site and go to THAT wp-admin section. Then under Tools should be import.

    It’s there on mine.

    ah, it’s not on mine. CRUD. Thanks for the reply.

    I have this on my import pages (all of them, admins and Super admins):

    Import
    If you have posts or comments in another system, WordPress can import those into this site. To get started, choose a system to import from below:

    No importers are available.

    the importers were pulled, so you really do need the plguin. Install it via ftp.
