Importing from WordPress - Can't find it in MT5

By Mike Johnston on Feb 19, 2010 at 1:14 PM 1 Vote 0 Votes

I am unable to locate the import function in MT5. It used to be under tools->import and according to what I've read it's under system overview but nothing is there. I see a plugin enabled on the blog for wxr import but no menu option. help?!

    Hi Mike,

    I guess that you didn't go to Website -> Blog and then look under 'Tools' for the 'Import' menu option!

    You've probably looked for that option for the website. Remember that on movable type v5.x you have a website as 1st level item and under a website you could have one or more blogs.

    You cannot have a blog as 1st level item anymore.

    So just go to a website, and then to a blog assigned to it and on the left column if you click on 'Tools' you would see the menu option 'Import'.

    After clicking on that you could from a drop down menu called 'Importing from' the 'WordPress eXtended RSS (WXR)" option.

    Happy blogging,
    Mihai Bocsaru
