 * Hi, first post here.
 * I seem to have a problem in creating the XML file using the Lossless XML import/
   export feature in WP 2.1. The resulting XML file seems to miss the title of every
   posts such as shown in the snippet below (the 2nd line –> there is nothing in
   between the title tag):
 * >  ….
   >  <item> <title></title> <link>[http://www.zalfany.info/blog/2007/02/09/jlpt/</link&gt](http://www.zalfany.info/blog/2007/02/09/jlpt/</link&gt);
   > <pubDate>Fri, 09 Feb 2007 06:27:50 +0000</pubDate> ….
 * Thus if I want to import it back, all the posts also don’t have any title in 
   it.
 * Did I miss something here? Thank’s for any clues.

 * If you want to send me a backup of your database I can try to debug the problem.

 * Which kind of database backup do you need? Provide more pointers to me please.
 * The current wordpress installation (2.1) is upgraded from version 2.0.6, can 
   it be the culprit?

 * i had the same problem with 2.3.1 and solved it by going to wp-admin/export.php,
   row 216 and changing `<title><?php the_title_rss() ?></title>` to `<title><?php
   the_title() ?></title>`.
