 * I am setting up a WordPress site and attempting to import an xml file.
    Each 
   time I activate the WordPress Importer and go to Import I get a 500 Internal 
   Server Error. When I contacted the web host tech support they said they get
 * “Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Import’ not found in… on line 1129.”
 * I find it hard to believe the plugin has a scripting error… would the next step
   necessarily be start over with uploading the WordPress files?
