I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a feature request but I expected to see the newly created Drupal nodes contain references to the corresponding categories and tags from the source records. All nodes, categories, and tags are present in the Drupal database but there are no mappings in the taxonomy_index table. I would also like to see the module check whether the tags and categories already exist in the target vocabulary and not duplicate entries where found.

I am using the WXR file import method from a Wordpress 3.2.1 instance.

My WXR file does not import anything...no nodes, categories, tags. However the WXR file does contain everything and it's size is small.

Also, now I only see an error on the "Migrate" tab. This happened after I tried importing. It says:

"Exception: Could not load WXR file - problems reported: failed to load external entity "wordpress://wordpress.2011-11-30.xml" at line 0 in WordPressBlog->__construct() (line 104 of /Users/path-to-my-site/sites/all/modules/contrib/wordpress_migrate/wordpress.inc).

Using WP 3.0 and Drupal 7.9

Correction.

I changed my settings in:
Wordpress Migration > Configure
where I changed the tags and categories from "do not import" to "tags" and it imported all blog posts. After this point the "Migrate" tab became available, which is good because it didn't import everything in one shot. I had to keep importing remaining content, such as comments.

#1308818: Categories and Tags not importing also reports problems with tags/categories. I cannot reproduce this problem.
