#24995 new defect (bug)
Importer does not check to see if DOM is available

Description
I have a WordPress network with many blogs. I exported a few posts from one blog (export file attached with some details sanitized). I then imported the posts into another blog.
Not only does the import probably do nothing, the /blogname/wp-admin/import.php page stops rendering after:
<h2>Import WordPress</h2>
That is, if you do a view source on the page, the above h2 element is the last thing you see.
Expected behavior: execution does not stop mid-page, and if there is an error, it is displayed for logged-in administrative users.
I am logged in as a network administrator.

- Severity normal → major
- Summary Importer stops without doing anything, doesn't even write out complete page → Importer does not advise when PHP components are missing
It is fixed by installing php-xml. There's still a problem: The importer should advise me that I have a missing library rather than just quitting during execution.
Solution found at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-import-html-pages-requires-php-xml-if-you-get-error-domdocument-not-found?replies=1.
I've reproduced on a non-network environment.
