 * FYI, updating to the latest version of the plugin and using the newer shortcode
   seems to have resolved this issue.

 * Just doing some further research, it appears PayPal streamlined their checkout
   page March 29, 2017. As far as I’m aware, the cart has been working fine since
   then, but I’m not 100% sure.
 * Is there a chance the updated PayPal checkout page could have some issues with
   the older version of the plugin I’m using?
 * There is some mention of issues that could cause failed validation checks here:

 * Hi [@sagar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sagar/).k,
 * Thank you for the quick response.
 * Unfortunately I’m still experiencing the same problem.
 * I can go to Admin > Smooth slider > Basic Settings > miscellaneous tab > Multiple
   Slider Feature > Enable checkbox…
 * …but when I click “Save Changes” I get the same “Slider Name Should be selected!”
   message?

 * Yeah, this has got me scratching my head.
 * You mentioned the SimplePie and WP Filters earlier – is there any way to import
   from blogger and bypass one or both of these filters?
 * Failing that, are there any other blogger importing tools you’re aware of that
   might do the trick?

 * Oh, and just to respond to your other suggestions:
 * There doesn’t appear to be any strange characters, latin or otherwise in the 
   comments.
 * The comments are also truncated when viewing them in the Admin
 * I tried copying and pasting a longer comment from Blogger directly into WordPress
   and it works fine.

 * Hi Andy, thanks again for the response.
 * To rule out any potential conflicts, I’ve installed a fresh copy of the latest
   WordPress with a clean new database, and ran the importer tool again. No plugins
   or anything were installed (apart from the importer tool ofcourse), and I’m using
   the 2012 theme.
 * The import seemed to run quite quickly, without any stopping. However, the same
   problem is still occurring, with some comments being cut-off. Again, it looks
   as though comments less than about 350 characters make it through, with longer
   comments being truncated. There is again the occasional long comment that comes
   through fine.
 * One thing I did notice, when initially Authorizing the Importer Tool I was getting
   this warning:
 * “We are unable to verify the name associated with this application because it
   runs on your computer, as opposed to on a website. We recommend you do not allow
   access unless you trust the application.”
 * I’m not sure what that’s about, seeing as both the Blogger blog and the WordPress
   website I’m importing to are both online (not using localhost or anything?). 
   Could this message have something to do with it?
 * Certainly a strange one this!
 * Cheers,
    Lee.

 * Thanks for the reply.
 * Unfortunately, I can’t share specific comment examples for privacy reasons. However,
   I have looked into them some more and I may have found a pattern.
 * While there is the rare long comment (1000+ characters) that has made it through
   fine, it appears the majority of comments are truncated after about 380-400 characters.
   All the shorter comments I’ve found (300 characters or less) display fine.
 * Apart from line breaks, and the wrapping/parent paragraph tag, the comments appear
   to be plain text. I can’t find any specific HTML tags within the comments, or
   nothing that coincides with the comment truncation.
 * Is there anything that could be forcing truncation after 380-400 characters? 
   Or can I import the comments without the filtering mechanisms?
 * I don’t have any other comment related plugins installed, so I don’t believe 
   that would be the problem?
