Wanted to let you know that 12 of my WIP Lenses did not survive the transfer. They are not listed as Hubs on my account page. Not a huge deal but wanted you to know. So far everything else looks great! Thanks.
I'm missing all of my WiP lenses as well - I reported it (and have backups if needed). All of my imports are showing as Featured for now...still standing by!
So, we believe we've imported all the missing WIP lenses now, except that we excluded draft lenses that were untitled. Without a title we can not pick a meaningful URL, and 99% of the untitled lenses we looked at were empty anyway. Please let us know if there are any additional problems.
They are there now. Thank you so much!
You all should check out the discussion on this issue over here http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/124323
So, we are following up with the Squidoo engineers to be sure it's correct, but I do see 56 featured lesnes and 3 WIP lenses in your export. The three WIP ones are here, as unpublished hubs:

http://sarahswitalski.hubpages.com/hub/ … r-treating
http://sarahswitalski.hubpages.com/hub/ … -from-home
My best guess right now is that the other lenses that you remember were locked and not WIP.
Thanks Paul. The missing ones were not locked. But, I have realized that they were truly WIP because they were never completed and never published on Squidoo. The 3 that did come over were published at one point but had fallen into WIP due to lack of traffic. So, that might be the problem since Squidoo calls unpublished lenses WIP just like the poorly performing lenses. Maybe these unpublished ones were never meant to come over. Not a big deal, if that's the case since I have my work on them saved. Thanks for looking into it!
I think maybe you've gotten to the bottom of it. We'll confer with the Squidoo team and try and figure out the right thing to do with draft lenses.
Thank you Paul! You guys are very helpful

Thanks, pauldeeds - like I said in the other thread - Y'all ROCK!

I wondered if some of the problem lenses that are not yet updated for Hubpages might be better off unpublished? What are the consequences to scores and traffic when we unpublish something?

I've just started going through the first lenses that got ported over as Hubs and here're a few things you can expect when you start reviewing your imported content.First of all, my lenses are still all showing on my Squidoo dashboard, so anything I might need if something is really wacky is still...

Hi\I had 36 published lenses (not WIP) and after the transfer only 5 are published on HP. I was under the understanding that only WIP lenses would be unpublished automatically. I thought I had 4 months to get any issues sorted out before they'd be unpublished. I would like this...

Hi, my lenses were imported yesterday and the lenses that had YouTube videos are not showing the videos on the Hub versions. The original video module title shows on the hub, but no video. I haven't checked all of them yet, but this affects at least 8 of my hubs and I haven't found any...

Hi I received an email about one of my hubs, which said:'Violation: Overly Promotional - Solely or excessively promotes another site(s), especially when Hub links all point to one site.'Accordingly, I reduced the number of Amazon products and I got rid of the Amazon RSS feed. I then submitted it...

This really isn't a problem, but rather something I am interested in finding out. I have a few unpublished hubs with little to no content in them, and the thing is, one of these hubs outranks one of my published hubs! I am wondering why that happens and if it is any indication of how good the hub...
