If it doesn't work
A few things stop an import: the post is private or limited to a specific audience, the recipe is never actually written or spoken anywhere in it, or the post's been removed. If a link fails, check that the post is public and genuinely contains the ingredients or steps, not just a photo of the finished dish.
