Import Problems

  • Ok gang, I need some help here. I’m in trouble and can’t find an answer. I had something corrupt in my blog that was generating random links, like hundreds a day. I couldn’t find it so I decided to start over. Here is what I did –

    I exported my posts out from WP. They came out as an .xml file, only 954kb, so not big by any means. I’ve opened it and looked, they are all there just like I think they should be. I’m not super up to speed on .xml but I can make sense of what I was looking at. The tags all look normal and all that.

    I then wiped my blog install on my host.

    I then installed a fresh blog install on my host.

    I then tried to import my posts that I had exported mere minutes earlier. No go. It times out every time. So I tried to use the “wxrsplitter” util I found online to make smaller files out of the exported post file. The smaller files will not import at all. I get an error saying not a valid file.

    I’ve searched all weekend for a cure, but still have nothing. Anyone got an idea that might help me get all my posts back online? ??

  • Are you running out of memory when trying to import? If so, try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:

    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '90M');

    If you don’t know how much memory you have, you might want to ask your hosting provider what your configuration is.

    Ok, it didn’t change anything. I still get this –

    Request Time-out
    Server timeout waiting for the HTTP request from the client.
