blogsync FAQ

what is blogsync?

it is used to import wordpress posts into blogger.

how to use it?

what is new in blogsync 0.3?

The comments can be imported from wordpress rss xml file to blogger site now. However it can not preserve the published time of the wordpress comments. so the published time of your imported comments is just the time when you import.

what is new in blogsync 0.2?

add feature to import posts from exported wordpress rss xml file to blogger site.

which jdk version do I need to run blogsync?

You should use jdk1.5 or later.

how to add jdk bin path in path environment?

how do I know which version of jdk I am using?

open a terminal, type "java -version". you should get something like this:

java version "1.5.0_12"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_12-b04, mixed mode)

how to run run.bat/run.sh in command line?

when run run.sh, it is opened by my editor, what should I do?

please run run.sh in command line.

after clicking on run.bat/run.sh, there was nothing happend, what should I do?

run run.bat/run.sh in command line so that find what's going wrong in the terminal?

It prompts "java: command not found", what's going wrong?

java is not in your path, please add jdk bin path in your path environment.

Is there some limitation when importing posts?

Yes. Due to Google blogger's limitation, you can only import at most 50 entries within one day. If you want to import more, please try it after 24 hours.

why do I get Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/easter/blogsync/BlogSync?

if you are on Mac or unix, please make sure you have read permission on blogsync/build/blogsync.jar file if not, open a terminal and type:

chmod 744 /path/to/your/blogsync/build/blogsync.jar

why do I get Failed to create input stream: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://mydomain.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php?

why do I get cannot log into blogger account: Invalid Credentials?

what should I do if there is still something wrong after checking the above?

Please email me the error.log file in the blogsync directory if you would like.

I still get "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError?: org/easter/blogsync/BlogSync?" even after the chmod routine. Not sure what to do now.

How does a Mac user import their posts and such from Wordpress to Blogger? All of this seems so complicated! BAH!

Hello, I know nothing about what goes on behind the scenes with blogging tools so I need some basic help. I am looking to move my WP.com blog to Blogger. I am on a windows machine and have downloaded the WP XML file.

What are the absolute basic steps to use your tool? I mean do I need to download JDK 6.0 from SUN then start with your instructions? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I am trying to move my wp.com blog to blogger. I downloaded the blogsync, edited the jdk path, and the settings with my wp and blogger info. I don't get any errors however when I run the run.bat file, a cmd window breifly pops up then disappears...but then my posts still aren't in the blogger blog. Please help

Thanks

Great tool... came up with an error dialog showing credential issues with blogger, but the posts (with comments and pictures) were still set up properly.

Comment by gunjan.gogia, Aug 31, 2009

i tried the above mentioned steps but on execution, the cmd appears for 2sec and then disappears. I think there is a problem with the modifications made in the batch file. Can u explain more clearly the modifications that need to be made to the batch file?

Comment by lalamax3d, Nov 20 (4 days ago)

i have set it up correctly, on pressing "read posts from wordpress" shows long list of posts. when i select anyone of them, and hit "import", it take some time and then shows "can't import posts to blogger, cannot connect, invalid URI"

any ideas / suggestions will help
