Boringly the plugin won’t work on WP 2.6.x so I’m back to square one.

Hi edelen.

I’m sorry that the “community” is not exactly racing to respond to requests like this.

I have had the same problem with a blog I help administer. The blog is being hammered and I want to move it to WordPress.com but first, how do I export the posts?

Every time I tried I got a file with an error at the end:

<b>Fatal error</b>: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in <b>/var/www/domain.com/wp-includes/formatting.php</b> on line <b>109</b>

Not a lot of use is it?

The answer appears to be the Advanced Export Plugin which appears to allow you to export your posts in chunks according to date ranges.

So divide and conquer!

And rock on with the blogging on WordPress.

Thanks for that. I’m amazed for a plugin so old that it still works, but it does.

This is happening to me. Can anyone help?

I blocked most people apart from the subnets that I and Steve are using (and a couple of others). Hence the 403 Forbidden message.

We’ve had to block pretty much everybody because of the enormous traffic from Instapundit, digg, slashdot and god forbid, Rush Limbaugh and Fox News

And a few hundred blogs.

Steve has just been on Calgary radio.

I’ve been in touch with Alex at wordpress.com and he has said that they will host CA which will be the best, most robust way to host a blog that occasionally makes the 7 o’clock news.

From Steve’s perspective its great to get such attention. For me, as the webhost its a nightmare.

Hopefully Alex will contact me soon to arrange the transfer of the export.

Actually I’ve found the answer. The Tiga theme does not support WordPress 2.2.x

The answer is that someone has updated the problem sidebar.php so that the widgets work properly again.

See https://wordpress.pastebin.ca/523651 and thanks to Otto for creating it.

My widgets won’t register. I can move them in and out of the sidebars and save the options, but the weblog only shows the default widgets.

Can anyone help?

Find a better host. There are hundreds out there that welcome WordPress installations.

You should use sidebar widgets and insert the Adsense code into a generic text widget.

There are plug-ins that do the same thing but sidebar widgets is easiest.

Kills the spam that BB doesn’t block.

It appears to be back now

Moshu: it turned out to be the first plug-in I disabled – the Adhesive plug-in (version 3.2) that caused the problem. Does anyone have an update that doesn’t screw up?

Bump

I thought I’d post what I did for others to see where the modification is supposed to go:

In sidebar.php of your chosen theme find:

<!-- Begin - Links from the 'Links  Manager'-->
<?php
	$link_cats = $wpdb->get_results('SELECT cat_id, cat_name FROM ' . $wpdb->categories . ' WHERE link_count > 0');
foreach ($link_cats as $link_cat) {
?>
<div class="left-widget-title"
	id="linkcat-<?php echo $link_cat->cat_id; ?>">
<?php echo $link_cat->cat_name; ?>
</div>
<div class="left-widget">
	<ul>
/* Add Michael's line here */
	<?php wp_list_bookmarks('show_description=1'); ?>
/* Comment out the original wp_get_links which no longer works
/*        <?php	wp_get_links($link_cat->cat_id); ?> */
	</ul>
</div>

and save the resultant.

Next put the links widget where you want it, and voila!

Thanks Michael, that is an enormous help.
