  • resolution set to invalid.

The OPML file is not valid XML and cannot be parsed. See that closing outline element immediately preceding the closing body element (line #13) -- there is no matching opening outline element. Looks like you made a mistake hand-editing that OPML file.

Slightly embarrassed as I uploaded file I was trying to make work and I did edit it. I've attached another file that was exported from Feedster and is untouched.

The file throws the error reported above in 2.1 but imports 7 links into 2.0.7.

Greets:

Please be aware that this problem also occurs on the standard WordPress Multiuser platform as well as wordpress.com.

It only occurs though when one is trying to upload the XML file. Importing links via a URL works fine.

Hope this helps, -drmike

2.1.1 is out, so bumping the milestone to 2.1.2.

A suggested workaround exists in this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/103224?replies=18

However, he simply eschewed the use of wp_remote_fopen() for the case of file uploads entirely, suggesting that there is a problem with the file upload mechanism.

I don't believe that WordPress includes OPML import/export features any more. I certainly can't find any references to it in the interface or code. Resolving as invalid (although I'm sure it was at one point!)

Replying to pishmishy:

Yes, it does still have those.

Import: /wp-admin/link-import.php (Accessible through Manage->Links->Add new->Import link on the sidebar).

Export: Just go to /wp-links-opml.php.

Thanks :-) Both feeds imported fine here - I'm presuming that this has been fixed sometime between 2.1 and now. worksforme?

  • milestone deleted.

Yeah, I'm going to go with worksforme. The problem had to do with the bit that receives the uploaded files, and I think that was fixed elsewhere for some other reason.
