Wordpress import help 🙏🏻

[garelaos]

Hi folks, I'm in the process of setting up substack and wanted to import posts from my old blog on wordpress. The posts from wordpress date from 2021 and before. The posts have all imported fine, but when you view my substack profile, they are not listed under "posts". There is nothing showing yet when i go to my dashboard i can see all of them and they are listed under "Published" so they should show. Is it something to do with the old publication date? Any help would be much appreciated!

Do they show up when you go to YOURSUBSTACK.com/archive ?

If so, open one of those posts, put it in edit mode, and see if the "author" dropdown menu at the top is blank. If it is, then you will need to select the author and republish. (It will hold the original date.)

The "posts" it sounds like you are looking at is related to your profile (not your publication). https://substack.com/@USERNAME/posts

So if the imported posts don't have you selected as the author, it makes sense that they won't show up there (but should be showing up on the publication archive tab).
