importing all (excepyt members) seems to get stuck in a loop

when importing all with create and delete selected as the options it seems to only do blogs and audio over and over

wasted about 16 hours with it doing each section 3 or 4 times
im going back to doing 1 section at a time but thought youd like to know

I'm not seeing an issue with this on my reference imported Ning site.

@ PAUL- I recall reading that it's important to import Members feature first when starting an import. Will that occur automatically when selecting "Import all" with create and delete option selected? Or should we first import Members, and then either do the other features one at a time or select Import All again, (right after first importing all the new member content). Could this be causing a problem?
I am uploading a full fresh Ning archive right now and will be attempting my second content import in about 36 hours once I have it on my server. I want to see how it imports/updates OVER the old content. @ PAUL, do you suggest I just stick with importing one feature at a time (members first) or that I try the Import All (without my being able to manually specify members first)?

Hi Strumelia
First of all, make sure you have the latest jrNingImport module installed. There have been a few fixes of late.
Always make sure the members are imported first, whether its a first time import or a delete/create import. Everything else 'belongs' to a member so if for any reason a member is missing, none of his/her items will be imported.
Personally, I prefer to import one set of items at a time and keep an eye on the progress to see if there are any issues, but if you want to set them all up in one go and let it run, that's ok, it just means that there is a bigger progress modal window to look through in case of errors.

Thank you, my impulse would be the same- to import one set of items at a time. Will def start with members. I always check the updates and keep everything updated regularly- thanks!
