While there is an option to do this directly from Wordpress, it does not currently work with version 2.7.1. To make it work, here’s a solution I found and wanted to explain a bit more:

  • Open your favorite FTP program and navigate to where you host your Wordpress installation.
  • Once you’re there, navigate to wp-admin/includes/blogger.php and edit that file.
  • Look at line 918. It should say $parser = xml_parser_create_ns();
  • Change that line of code to the following: $parser = xml_parser_create(); (You’re basically removing the _ns from there)
  • Save your changes and try to import your entries again. Should work like a charm!

Here’s where I found the solution.
