 * Hi there!
 * I’m building a site with existing content with a new skin.
 * Used the WordPress Importer to recover some of the contents I wish to save on
   my dev environment.
 * Importer created the posts but failed to create the corresponding contents in
   those posts.
 * What’s the best way to fix this?
 * Thanks for your time.

 * This is most likely caused by your existing content being stored in a non-traditional
   way.
 * Does your existing site store content in the post_content field of wp_posts, 
   or somewhere else?
