Failing on image import

    The importer managed to import about half the images on my first go, but then stopped. Now, it just sits there if I try to continue.

    I enabled debug logging and this is the only entry:

    [02-Apr-2014 21:26:46] PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 531587 bytes) in /hsphere/local/home/myaccount/mysite.com/site/wp-includes/SimplePie/Parser.php on line 122

    Is there anything that can be done about this?

    There aren’t that many images, so if it’s time consuming, it would be easier to manually copy and re-link the images.

    Of course, because it never makes it through the images, it doesn’t get to links.

    Running it again and it just sits on “Importing…” with the images progress bar at about 50%. No new entries are made to the debug log.

    Oh, and I have disable all plugins and set the theme to 2014.

    I don’t know if this means anything, but I just looked at the server log and there are hundreds of entries like this, and more are being added every few seconds.

    You need to increase the allowed memory size for PHP processes. Importing takes a fair amount of memory, especially for images. WordPress tries to increase memory by itself, but not all configurations allow this.

    Ask your host how to bump up the php memory_limit. I recommend at least 64M, or 128M if you can go there. You can lower it back down after the import.

    Thanks for the reply. I was unable to get my host to increase memory allocation in the past, so I’ll finish this process by hand.

    The POST messages occur because the ajax call errors and the java script is written to just keep trying incase it was a temporary error.
    Just spotted that the error occurred in the simplepie parse, I did not think the image processing used that but it might be that the get_posts function uses it internally.
    You might have some luck if you turn the $batchsize = 20 in the blogger-importer-blog.php process_images() to a smaller value?

    Thanks for that. I lowered it to 8 and it succeeded.
