I encountered the same issue. It turns out that the xml file exported by Wordpress is invalid (something with the CDATA tags perhapshttps://code.google.com/p/google-blog-converters-appengine/issues/detail?id=45#c9). I went directly into the wordpress database via phpmyadmin and run a query like
SELECT *
FROM
wppostsWHERE
posttype= "post"
then exported the query results to an XML file. Try the import again in symphony with the new, valid xml file.

I am trying to use the XML Importer extension to pull in data from a Wordpress install. I used the Wordpress export XML option. I am trying to access the node
<dc:creator>
and I have used the 'automatically detect namespaces option so dc is listed:Along with 4 other namespaces that were automatically added too.
I am trying to import the
dc:creator
into my Author field with a helper function that converts the value in the field into an Author id. When I run the importer, I get this error:Any pointers or advice on how to get around this one? I don't know much about namespaces or how the XML Importer uses them.
Thanks for reading.
