If you would like to have the wordpress xml export, can you tell me a way on how I can provide it?

[Kwpolska]

You should be able to upload the XML export here or somewhere else. It’s possible that WordPress changed their file structure or something.

The wordpress export:

I fixed this issue, I am not sure how i can assign myself to this issue, but i fixed it and tested it, the issue was happening becasue the importer code always assumed that sizes was a dictionary, the false in the PHP-serialized data turned into a python boolean and iterating that was not allowed so it raised the error, so now if there is somethng that we dont want what we want we skip it and everything else works as it should, so no more error. I have made a pull request for it, hopefully if it is fine and approved you should be able to import your file.
