Maybe someone here can save me. This has me pulling out my hair.
I have a wordpress blog with 26 entries. When I export them from wordpress and import them into MT 5, only the 13 earliest show up.
I have tried importing the same file into a new wordpress blog, and it works fine.
I have tried deleting the 13 entries that are already in the MT blog from the export file, and I have tried deleting those entries from the worpress blog before exporting. Neither of these things help.
Looking at the export files, I don't see any difference between the entries that MT likes and the ones it doesn't, other than that the ones it likes are over a year old. Changing the dates on the newer entries before exporting them from wordpress didn't help, either.
Does this make sense to anyone??
Thanks in advance!

How about to remove the 14th entry if it blocks importing the lest of entry ? I'm not sure the exact reason unless seeing the exported file, but a some kind of specific description breaks formatting sometimes.
Feel free to try this script I wrote for WordPress:
http://www.codemonkeyramblings.com/files/wp-export-mt.txt
Put it in the directory right below wp-includes so that it can access the WP libraries. It'll generate a Movable Type export file from your entries.
Thank you both so much!
Jun's good thinking uncovered the problem. Mike, I will grab your script for future reference.
The fourteenth entry had an image attached in a custom field.
FYI, I've seen people complain that WordPress doesn't always generate valid XML with its exports, so be careful.
