Moving from com to org.

    I made an RSS backup file from my com blog (hippy2981.wordpress.com). And I used this file to import on the WP on my own web server. The pages appear as separate posts. This is not a big problem since I don’t have many pages but still it would be for those who do.

    Why are the categories (tags) not copied? In the xml (RSS) I see that there are a categories mentioned too. All the posts’ categories are lost and the categories table is empty too. Did the import did not happen correctly? How do I do I get this corrected?

    Please let me know.

  • Sounds like you used the built-in RSS importer? But your export was probably then “new” WXR format.

    You probably want to try again with a different importer: https://www.technosailor.com/wordpress-to-wordpress-import/

    Yup. It looks like the export is an WXR (WordPress eXtended RSS) format. But how can I use a different export on a WP.com blog. It doesn’t give me options for different exports.

    I want to restore the categories. I’ve less pages. Would a different export (and the WP import) respect the categories (tags) too?

    You want to look at the link I provided… ??

    Sorry. Got confused. I’ll try that.

    Worked. Thanks!

    I do get this. How to side-step that 30s limit? I know that if I do the import again (after this error) it will continue from where it bugged out before.

    Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\wordpress\wp-includes\class-IXR.php on line 513

    bump bump.

    Max execution time limit is likely coming from php configuration (php.ini). If you don’t have access to it, you’ll want to contact your host.

    You can try adding this to your .htaccess file:
    php_value max_execution_time 120

    Doesn’t always work. But does sometimes.

    @handysolo, yes from php.ini. Thanks!

    Try this too, Place this code in wp-config.php

    ini_set("max_execution_time", 60);

    This thread solved my problems – after trying all other solutions, I finally came across the last one to edit wp-config.php, and it worked! Thanks for this archive ??
