The MU forums have moved to WordPress.org

Movable Type Import BADLY Broken (3 posts)

    I have ~2000 posts to import, and the import process is badly broken.

    I have 3 blogs and ~20 authors where some authors are a part of all 3 blogs and some are just part of one single blog. I select the file to import, and then I begin the author correlation mechanism. When correlating authors, I manually type their login in AND select their login from the drop down. After the import, every single post is said to be made by just one of the authors.

    Does anyone know a quick fix to this?

    In the meantime, I'm going to start writing a screen scraper to generate SQL statements, because manually changing each post will take an eternity.

    Using WPMU 2.2.1. Thanks.

    - There is no MU 2.2.1.

    - The importer is a part of WP, and if there is a problem with it should be reported to the main WP trac. Which, it may have been.

    - Using WPMU 1.2.3 (sorry, the footer is misleading).

    - I'm aware this is a bug, but I was hoping that a developer in here would know a quick fix?
