Component:  Import        |     Version:  2.7.1

 When importing a subset of pages into a new blog using Wordpress XML, it
 can result with no pages with a page parent of 0.

 As a result, the page parent setting doesn't have a drop down, and there
 is no option for a static page (reading), and links to pages on the public
 site don't work. The pages view in admin also appears flat, instead of as
 a hierarchy.

 By simply changing the topmost page to page_parent 0 in phpMyAdmin,
 everything works. Ideally import would give some control over the page
 parents of top level page(s), or detect the situation where no
 page_parents of 0 exist.
