Wordpress blog says success import but not showing up

Site URL: https://hyperboloid-sepia-82f5.squarespace.com/

Hello,

I am working to import a Wordpress blog (only the posts) to a new Squarespace website (https://hyperboloid-sepia-82f5.squarespace.com/) and I have followed the instructions listed here: https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206543957. 

Both times I chose the Advanced option and exported only the "posts" from the Wordpress backend and downloaded the .xml file. The first time I did all posts. The second time I did all posts since January 2019. Both times I got a "success" message as you can see in my screenshots below. 

However, these posts are nowhere to be found. From my understanding they should be in the unlinked pages area... however there is nothing there. 

I would really appreciate any help you can provide. 

Thank you!

Same!

Skyview, I kept trying and finally got some success. Not sure which solved, but....
When I was exporting my xml from WordPress, I had the Start/End dates reversed, totally could have been it.

However, after importing this new xml (with the dates as they should be), I still didn't see the blogs under "unlinked"; then I refreshed the browser and there they were!

I hope this helps you; it's so frustrating! 😄

THANK YOU!!!! They are there now!!! 

Everything imported from the xml file except wordpress portfolios/projects.  Those showed errors.  Anyway to get them to import?

@daimone

It think the issue is that the jetpack portfolio is not one of the data types that is supported. Please see Importing content from WordPress, Blogger, or Tumblr - What imports.

You could manually import those items by editing the the xml file. Not fun but doable.

@skyviewwe are about to do this for a client next month and I have no idea how to price this - can you LMK how long this process takes? Are you carrying over the images as well? Also what's the URL mapping like? Thank you!

Hi There! Was anyone able to sort out this issue doing the import using the Wordpress site option (not importing the XML file)? I’m stumped as to where my blog posts could be since I’m getting a successful message. All help is much appreciated, thank you!!
