Import of Ghost Content Failed

[DrDinosaur]

Issue Summary

I am migrating a Ghost instance to a new server. I exported the old content successfully as a json file, but I get an error when attempting to import it into the new instance.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Log into Ghost Admin, navigate to the Labs view, and click Export to download all content
2. To begin the content migration, head to the Labs section of Ghost Admin and import the ghost.json backup which you exported earlier.

Are you able to share the export file, or at least the few lines related to unsplash settings? Without that, I'd be guessing at a reproduction case.

I could share the entire export file privately, but this was the only line I found with unsplash.

Do you have an update on this?

[OIdiotLin]

Any updates here? I met the same error.

[MattinaYang]

Met this error too. But what happend to me is not "import failed" but I received an email which said "Import unsuccessful"

[ErisDS]

Sorry - I was hoping to find time to push a small fix to the importer, but it's been a crazy end to the year.

The fix to get the import to work would be to remove the item from the settings array - so delete {"id":"59a22ce83b86f02460405846","key":"unsplash","value":"{\"errors\":{},\"hasValidated\":[]}","type":"blog","created_at":"2017-08-27T02:22:32.000Z","updated_at":"2017-09-17T23:13:21.000Z"} from your JSON file. That'll get the import to work .

@Sheepeer your issue is something entirely different.
