Thanks! However, the password needed to access Posterous from WordPress is deleted immediately after importing data or "Posts" from Posterous requiring me to repeatedly enter my password to obtain new post from Posterous? Is there anyway to allow the to services to communicate without having to re-enter the password every time? I was hoping to post to Posterous and have it "Push" to my WordPress like it does to Twitter, FaceBook, etc. Ok, I got it to work … Thanks!

Any clues? Cheers, Chris Hey Brian,

I've googled it but no one else has reported it. The class plugin is installed and active (I tried doing this before and after installing the Posterous plugin - same result). Any suggestions please? Thanks, Chris Hey Brian,

All thumbnails changed to w=500. I've also stripped out the Vox links in the footer of each post. You should be able to look at the post revisions on the edit post screen to see what I'm talking about. Ok, I’ve finished the bulk edit for you. All thumbnails changed to w=500.

I noticed that they had the w=300 appended to the URL, but I didn't see anything change when I changed the media thumbnail/med/large sizes under Settings>Media, so I wasn't sure how to bulk edit the hundreds of photos I have posted without changing the URL for each one. For my future reference, if I preset the medium thumbnail size on my Wordpress dashboard to be 500pixels, will future imported Vox posts have the correct size photos displayed?

The importer did grab the full size images correctly. When the importer goes back and changes the image URL's to point to the image in the media library it uses the default WordPress medium thumbnail size which is 300px wide. This size is different from Vox's default size of 500px wide. If you look at the thumbnail image source in your blog posts you will see a ?w=300 appended to the URL. you can change that 300 to 500, save the post and it should re-size it properly. I'm an administrator on wordpress.com, I can bulk edit the image thumbnails to 500 if you'd like. Just let me know. I see what happened now. The importer did grab the full size images correctly.
