    Giannii, I have the same issue. I just switched to Disqus because Intense Debate support wasn't cutting it. I have about 13,000 comments to import, yet when I try to import it still says "Import status: Unprocessed". What can I do?

    Using WP 2.7

    Thanks!

    Shoot an email to help@disqus.com with an export of your comments.
    Most shared servers have a time limit on how long a php task can last.

    Here are instructions to export your comments: http://wiki.disqus.net/ExportWordPressComments

    Cheers,

    Did you see any message such as "unprocessed"?

    Yea, like I said in my first comment, it says "Import status: Unprocessed". Are you saying that I need to export my wordpress comments first? I thought the import process from the Wordpress plugin was already in place to do this?
  • Giannii · 8 months ago
    Great, that message means that our server has your comments it is just
    waiting to be processed. we had a bit of a heavy comment importing
    weekend.

    Thanks Giannii, comments are starting to show now. Not all, but some so it must mean that the process is going. I will let you know in a few hours the status. Also, can you follow me on twitter so I can DM you? http://twitter.com/infidelsarecool

    Thanks!

    I have the same problem - I fear that I have done this a couple times and put multiple requests in the queue. Can my duplicate requests be deleted? (boozeworthy is the site)
  • Giannii · 7 months ago
    I will remove the duplicate entries for you.

    Me too, i have multiple request. (rajakamil.biz)
    Usually, how much it takes to import 1.6k comments?

    Thanks :)

    I'm having this same problem, and before reading this thread I repeated the import steps several times.
  • BrightEyesTampa · 3 months ago
    We are still seeing the same message. Import status: Unprocessed how long does it take there are only about 100 comments. It's been unprocessed for 6 hours now.
  • emmfan · 3 months ago
    I don't have very many comments, but it has already been over 5 hours since I initiated the import from within Wordpress Disqus dashboard. I can see the thread posts slowly being entered into Disqus but they all show 0 comments. Just wanted to make sure that there wasn't something wrong with my setup.
  • pi865 · 3 months ago
    hi. i installed disqus today on our own server, but the comments remain unprocessed 8 hours later. only 100 comments or so. help would be appreciated.
  • pi865 · 3 months ago
    Sorry to post again, but if the php request time is set too low, do i edit this in php.ini to something more like 60 seconds?
  • mayurjango · 3 months ago
    I'm not able to see my old comments in Disqus. Its showing "Import status: Unprocessed".

    I've also mailed you regarding it with the backup xml file attached.

    Plz look into my problem and fix it ASAP.
