Hi Jon
I think I'm stuck then as I've no idea what's causing the problem. > > Any idea how long it will be before there will be a facility for bulk > export?

In the meantime you can gain precisely the same end result by selectively deleting tiddlers in the 5.0.8 wiki before you upgrade it. Either way, you'll need to figure out which customisations are preventing things from working. First thing to check is whether you've overridden any shadow tiddlers. Look at the more->shadows list and open any tiddlers whose title is not in bold - those are the tiddlers that have been overridden. Just flick them to edit mode and delete them in order to restore the underlying shadow tiddler. Then save changes and attempt your import again.
