Importing comments from Wordpress
I'm trying to import WordPress comments using the official import
process from
How to Import Discussions to Talkyard but
getting error TyEM0UPSPATCH - 'Not allowed'.
I have:
- Properly formatted v0.2021 JSON data
- Valid API secret (other endpoints work)
- Used the official to-talkyard tool
How do I enable import permissions for my hosted instance:
comments-for-makanju-org.talkyard.net?
KajMagnus @KajMagnus2025-08-03 11:06:39.388ZHi @bankole, now I've enabled importing comments to your Talkyard site. (I hope I didn't forget anything.)
But you wrote WordPress comments? I've built an exporter from Disqus to Talkyard, but not from WordPress. Did you really mean WordPress? (Someone worked around this, by first exporting from WordPress to Disqus, and then from Disqus to Talkyard.)
How big is the comments dump? There's some max size limits, but you're probably unlikely to run into those.

Hi @KajMagnus . I have the same issue with our instance moazin.talkyard.net This is also about a Wordpress dump. The JSON is 22 MB. I get an error from your Nginx, telling me this file is too big. When I try with a smaller test increment, I am also getting the TyEM0UPSPATCH error. I've patched your non-working Wordpress importer for that. Happy to send a PR if this works. Can you please help me enable upsert-patch and big file requests for our instance?
Best regards,
Robert
KajMagnus @KajMagnus2025-08-28 08:10:03.205ZHi Robert, oh, yes the Nginx config is a bit restrictive. Would it be ok if you send me the WordPress dump? Then I'll test import it to a test server, and then I import it to the real server. You could email me at:

Yes that'd be lovely
