Running the import gave an error, so I deleted all instances of wp:meta_value as per the readme.txt and there were no instances of atom:link

I re-ran the export from Wordpress after having deactivated all plugins then re-ran the import and it still fails.

Any suggestions folks?

I've had similar issues. Breaking the WordPress export in to smaller chunks (by date, for example) seems to resolve.

Good luck!

Breaking the WP export into year by year chunks helped me pinpoint the errors and fix:
-- there were few sql injected data redirecting to some spam sites!!! -- I removed them -- I think my anti-virus played an important role .. I disabled and did some fine-replace for display:hidden (thats how the injected codes were!), overflow:hidden, etc etc.
-- in 2/3 places, there were non-UTF characters -- I removed them
-- I will now do a fresh import ...

BUT now my challenge is how to add a < br /> or < p > .. as WP data has no < br > or < p > tags in between paragraphs ..

While importing, how to set the default input type into : basic ,, instead of full html?? wish there would hv been a option for this too in the module!

Thanks a lot.

OK, after importing I fixed the formating issue by editing the Input Type "Wordpress format" -- HTML corrector and Line Break converter checked :)

The import I was doing into a ProsePoint version of Drupal.

ok. after the import, formating, issues --- I just found that the workflow for each imported stories were set to Draft (which is `sid` is teh workflow table)

From my phpMysqlAdmin, I changed the SID's of each NID's with

UPDATE workflow_node (also of `workflow_node_history`)
SET `sid`=4
WHERE `sid`=2

BUT that didn't help me.... The nodes are still not accessible for public!

Any idea, please?

@Dubber Dan : There's an extra line return at the beginning of your WXR file. I'm not sure how it got there. Remove it and it should work fine.

@bgogoi : I can't help you with this, you should submit this problem to the maintainers of ProsePoint Drupal.
