Looking for File Splitter for Blogger Import

  • My blogspot XML file is about 90 MB (24,000+ posts).

    I’m trying to break down the files to less than 20 MB each (the limit on my ISP is 20MB).

    I have tried the WXR Splitter utility, but it has not worked on the half dozen machines that I have tried it on, I get a, “System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection,” error, and I have tried it on about a half dozen machines.

    I am looking for a way to split the files, either something that works in Windows 10, or on a shell account (Python, Perl, etc.).

    I have access to the shell on my ISP.

    Any suggestions?

    How about just increasing your maximum file upload size instead?

    The maximum upload size is controlled at the server-level, not by WordPress. Here are three ways you can increase the upload limit:

    1. If you can edit or override the system php.ini file, increase the maximum file and post sizes. For example, upload_max_filesize = 100M ; and post_max_size = 100M ;

    2. If you cannot edit or override the system php.ini file, add php_value upload_max_filesize 100M and php_value post_max_size 100M to your .htaccess file.

    3. If neither of these work, it’s time to ask your hosting provider to increase the maximum file and post sizes on your account. Keep in mind that most decent hosting providers allow this, and If your hosting provider won’t accommodate you, perhaps it’s time to find a new hosting provider.

    (in the above examples, the limit is set to 100MB)

    I did that, though perhaps I did it wrong:

    
<filesmatch "^(.htaccess|wp-config.php|wp-settings.php)$">
    order allow,deny
    deny from all
</filesmatch>

    php_value upload_max_filesize 128M

    php_value memory_limit 256M
    php_value max_execution_time 3000
    php_value max_input_time 3000

    I could go to the ISP and get permission, but I would prefer not to, since I am months away from the move, but I want to start using the WP site as a backup now.

    post_max_size is missed an =

    See my example above. ??

    So, do I need an equals sign on all the lines, or just the post_max_size?

    Huh, actually you don’t, my mistake.

    What you have is right, what I had is wrong, I’ll edit that above.

    Try removing the spaces before the lines, align them direct to the left.

    I found a solution, at least for Windows and Windows emulator users involving a PowerPhell script.

    The guy posted about it on his blog about 7 years ago, and has a link to the .ps1 file, and the Github is here.

    You need to modify the first line of the file to put in the file name, the number of records to group together, and the elements that you are counting (“entry” case sensitive without the quotes for Blogspot).

    You need to dial in the number, to make it work. (This is a blogger importer crashing thing, the script works fine, at about 2000 posts a minute) It seems to be about 2M-4M for each thousand posts you break it at.
