Importing from Moveable type seems only to have worked once?
-
I imported several Moveable Type files but only one of them has been turned into WordPress posts. Now, whenever I add a new html with the import tool, I get the “successful import” e-mail but no new posts appear on my dashboard.
It puzzles me because it worked so perfectly the first time, and I have 98 files of posts I want to add!
Many thanks for your help.

Not to worry as I flagged this thread for Staff attention and they will help you as soon as they can.

Were each of the 98 files generated by Movable Type, and did you modify them in any way?
-
Didn’t modify them! Very strange – when I load one in sometimes it goes and sometimes it doesn’t! So I’m putting them in one at a time, waiting half an hour to see if it’s taken, and then either repeating or putting in the next one. As you can imagine, it’s going to take a while to do all 98 like this!
The weird thing is that when they do go in, they work perfectly…
-
Are they all from the same Movable Type blog? If so, aren’t you able to get just one export file with everything from them?
-
-
That is very odd. I recommend contacting their support department for a full export. If you get that, we can import it for you.
I suspect the issue is with the formatting in the multiple files, or the files may contain duplicate posts.
-
If I paste the files all together with notepad, will that work? Or is that too scissors-and-glue-y?
