    When I try to use the Wordpress XML Import feature, I get this error: ... error parsing xml file. Please try again later. I've tried this with the entire Wordpress XML file, and a cut-down version with just the posts. Both fail. Any ideas?

    Hello David,

    I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. I have checked your site and it looks like there's actually an unescaped tag on line 37766 .

    If you noticed the, '&' wasn't being translated to '&amp;'. Hence, the migration actually failed. I have re-executed the migration and migrated the blog entries over for you :D Here's the output of the migration process,
