anybody ever have trouble importing from Blogger to Wordpress?

I was trying to import the blog entries from a client's Google Blogger account into her Wordpress site (.org and not .com ) She was having troubles and I thought I'd try. Unfortunately, it's a no go.

I get a message from Wordpress saying;

We were not able to gain access to your account. Try starting over.

Anyone know what the culprit is?

 

That sounds like the login credentials to your client's Blogger account is incorrect. Have you tried logging into her Blogger site with the details that she has given you?

Normally, if you've supplied the right Blogger login details the process should be smooth going. Though depending on the number of posts on the Blogger site, the import process may take some time.

 

which version of wordpress u r using..generally problem lies in the credentials u use..username password...now u sign in with google account associated with blogger or blogger username pass..just check that too...

 

actually, it's neither problem. I did some extra researching and the fix is the following;

Go to the blogger.php file within the /wp-admin/import folder of WP. at around line 82 of the file, you'll find this code;

"Host: www2.blogger.com"

You have to change that to www.blogger.com and it should work.
