Please note that currently blog titles are not imported, and rather the date of the post is used. This feature will come later. This version has been tested with 3.1, but it most likely works with version starting at 3.0 and up. If you need a version that works for 2.9.2 or earlier, please download the older version from [Robot.Floss](http://www.robotfloss.com/blog/?page_id=243). NOTE: To get archive files of your Xanga, you will need to have a premium account with Xanga. Once you have that, you can go to Private -> Settings -> Archives to request and download an archive. You will need to unzip the archive before importing it. ## Installation Once you have downloaded your Xanga archive and unzipped it to a folder on your computer: 1. Download the Xanga Importer plugin. 2. Unzip the importer to a folder on your computer. 3. Upload the Xanga-Importer folder to the `/wp-content/plugins` directory. 4. From the WordPress plugins panel, activate the Xanga Importer plugin (Plugins - > Inactive -> Activate Xanga Importer). 5. From the WordPress panel, go to Tools -> Import, and select “Xanga” 6. From the importer, click “Choose File” and select a Xanga archive file to upload( it must be unzipped). 7. Click “Upload and Import” 8. The posts and comments will now be imported, and you will be shown live data regarding the import. If you import the same file twice, it will not create duplicates of the posts or comments. 9. You may need to repeat step 8 multiple times depending on how many files are in your Xanga archive. ## FAQ Why doesn’t this work on a zipped archive folder? As stated in the instructions, you must unzip the Xanga archive in order for this to work. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Xanga Importer by PopeOnABomb” is open source software.
