 * Hi Yuri
 * I have successfully completed my first import of my blog as a test.
    As I had
   some adjustments to do, I’ve deleted all the imported posts, uninstalled the 
   plugin, deleted all associated files and reinstalled the plugin. Now, when trying
   to do a new import, it doesn’t work. I have a correct number of elements (posts,
   images…) but they don’t load, and in less than 1 second, the process goes to 
   the author identification page. What shall I do?
 * Thanks in advance for your help!

 * Hi Elhea,
 * the plugin stores some informations about the status of the import, these informations
   in your situation says that the import is finished, so, the plugin shows the 
   authors page. You need to clear these informations, if you have access to the
   database you can run this query:
 * `DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE 'bie_status_%';`
 * Note: `wp_` is a variable prefix so, your options table could be differently 
   named
 * Let me know

 * Hi Yuri
 * It worked perfectly fine! Once more many thanks for your prompt and precise answer.
   
   As you mentioned, I just had to adjust few parameters in the query and it was
   all done. Best regards Elhea

 * Hello JNumbaNC,
 * You need to have an access to your wordpress Database. Did you install your wordpress
   site by yourself? If so, you may have created your own database on your host 
   server.
    Many hosts provides you an access to the database with the “PHPMyadmin”
   tool.
 * In PHPMyadmin, go to the “Request” tab on the right hand of the panel (on the
   left hand you have your db tables list). You should have a block called “SQL 
   request on the base “name-of-your-base” : “
    Here your can enter Yuri’s query
   and press the “execute” button DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE ‘
   bie_status_%’;
 * As Yuri said the prefix “wp_” can be different, depending on your parameters 
   when you created the base. Generally you have something like wp_yourchoice as
   a prefix. In PHPmyadmin, as you have the list of your tables, so it will be easy
   to find it.
 * Be careful with the quote caracter (‘). For me, a simple copy/paste of the above
   request didn’t work and I had to pick up the right caracter in a dummy request
   I built in PHPMyadmin.
 * Hoping it can help
    Elhea
