It only imported part of my posts, what happened?
To ensure that all content comes through correctly, you need to set your old blog’s RSS feeds to full. This includes comments. If your old blog’s settings are fully open and you are still running into problems, please contact us at help@onsugar.com.
Will my comments and tags/categories be imported?
Yes, all comments and tags/categories will be imported. If yours did not import, make sure that your old blog’s RSS settings are fully open.
Will my OnSugar blog continue to import my other blog’s posts?
No, the import tool is a one-time import. If you import your blog again, it will import the entire blog again (resulting in double posts).
Can I import more than one blog to my OnSugar blog?
Yes, you can import all of your blogs into one OnSugar blog. To do so, click on the "Import Blog" link from your blog dropdown menu after your first import has completed. This will prompt you to import another blog, and you can choose to import it to any of your existing OnSugar blog.
