It seems like trackbacks are ignored. Is this by design or is it a misconfiguration on my end? I'm not really sure if I actually want them, but I just felt I had to ask :)

pingback comments are intentionally ignored, pending a decision on what to do with them. How should they be handled? Should there be an option whether to import them?

yes, there should be an option to import the trackbacks / pingbacks as well.

i was wondering the whole time why not all comments where imported - the simple solution was that
i replaced all

<wp:comment_type>pingback</wp:comment_type> 

with
<wp:comment_type></wp:comment_type>
in the wxr file and simply imported again :) works!

Are the pingbacks useful as-is? Seems to me we should be working the link in there somehow...

OK, should be simple to add a checkbox for this.

Title: Trackback comments don't import » comments don't import

Here are the problems that I had on the migration from wordpress to drupal 7 using the latest wordpress migrate module .

1) The comments not imported
2) The blog images not imported

Can anyone point out what I could do wrong on my configuration?

Thanks
