Well, this hack is if the original importer didn’t work plus I think I made it during WP 2.5 but glad it worked out for ya.

Tried this on a WP2.6.3 install. Your hack didn’t work, but then went back and tried the original importer and it took.

Try changing the values, start with startvalue at 0 and endvalue 100.

Depending on your server settings, the amount of tags you can import at a time can vary.

For me I could do 5000 tags at a time. I had about 50,000 tags so…

You might be okay doing 500 to 1000 tags at a time.

I also had trouble trying to import my UTW tags once I upgraded to Wordpress 2.5.1 from 2.1. I tried your hack, and it got me trhough the first couple of steps (I was having getting even that far before!), but I am hitting your same “zero tags” error at step 3:

Done! 0 tags were added!

I have 4642 tags and 5000 tag-to-post relationships. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Keith

Genius! Thank You. I’ve been so afraid to upgrading because of this problem. I’d lose a lot of useful links to my website.
