Version 0.2 of the blogger plugin for wordpress 3.x has a small little bug in it that produces the following error:

I’ve been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out what’s wrong with their code and I think I’ve found a fix (atleast until version 0.3 of the plugin comes out at which time this fix will not apply anymore…..hopefully).
The problem is with the regex code in the auth() function of the blogger-importer.php plugin. So edit this file and make the following changes:
1) Line 99:OLD: $token = preg_replace( '/[^-_0-9a-zA-Z]/', '', $_GET['token'] );Note: % sign added in the regex portion.
NEW: $token = preg_replace( '/[^%-_0-9a-zA-Z]/', '', $_GET['token'] );
2) Line 108:OLD: preg_match( '/token=([-_0-9a-z]+)/i', $response, $matches );Note: % sign added in the regex portion.
NEW: preg_match( '/token=([%-_0-9a-z]+)/i', $response, $matches );
Hopefully this will help you get going…..

oh man! you ROCK!!! Thanks so much, it works like a charm!
and by the way you should submit this to wp.org…Thanks again!
Thanks Debbie,
I think someone grabbed it from the blog already…..I'm in the middle of DNS hell right now…..so hopefully people will take it easy on the old blogspot site while DNS updates. New wordpress site is ready as soon as DNS kicks in…..
