@jdaviescoates Can you try with the latest redis-cache plugin or use the latest unmanaged WP package? I think all issues are probably connected to that.

As far as I'm aware I was using the latest everything, but similarly to some of my other WordPress reports last night, the next time I did it out all worked fine (which doesn't help work out what the actual issue was, but nevermind)

Just to say, I just tried installing WordPress Importer again on a new install and this time it worked fine, so whatever the problem was seems to have been resolved.

@girish I think this can be marked as solved (it's too old for me to edit, turn into a question and mark solved myself).
