Xanga Importer by PopeOnABomb

This plugin allows you to import your Xanga posts and all comments to your blog from a Xanga archive file.

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.

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.

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.

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.
