Where does one specify a Wordpress XML file to be imported? I see no where in the module UI to specify either a file or a URL. Assuming I would be asked, I pushed the Import Wordpress Blob button and instead I get an error message: "The file could not be uploaded, most likely because the file size exceeds the configured limit of 8 MB." Some instructions would probably help. Thanks in advance...

At the top of /admin/content/wordpress, you should see under "Import source" radio buttons labeled "Import from a URL" and "Import from a file". If you click "Import from a file", you should see a Browse button. You're not seeing anything up there? What browser are you using? Some people are having trouble with IE...

I've tried everything BUT IE: Chrome, Safari, Firefox on both PC and Mac. So, it must be something on my setup? And why the message about the 8mb file size when I ma not selecting any file?

Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

Yes, we need to do better with the message - basically, it's hard to tell what the reason is we didn't get a file, so it assumes that the file was too big.

See enclosed. I receive this message regardless of whether I select Import From a URL or Import From a File

This seems to be another instance of #1543896: Import source fieldset credentials/upload invisible, let's continue there.

I'm back to here from http://drupal.org/node/1543896#comment-5988992, as it appears that these are two different issues. Here is a re-cap:
Regardless of whether I select the URL or From File option there is a brief flash of another window and then I get the error message: "The file could not be uploaded, most likely because the file size exceeds the configured limit of 8 MB." My understanding was that if I select the From File option a browse window should then open. That does not happen. I had assumed that the module wants to import from the configured private files directory and that is where the file has been placed. But that does not seem to be the issue...at least as far as i can tell. Suggestions?
