I’ve been thinking about this and I know I’m going to be PO’d when this happens to me but it might not be worth the effort of the whole process. It could take a lot of time and effort to contact the hosting service, prove you own the stuff, and get them to do something about it. They probably would only end up sending the person a notice to remove the content; which would be good but it would be even better if the person lost their hosting account. I’d definitely send the hosting company an email and see how much effort this is going to entail.

It’s too bad people have to copy things word-for-word and claim it as their own. The least they could do is give credit to the author.

I experienced this same problem also running wordpress 2.9.1 on Dreamhost. After I was able to override the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size to allow me to upload larger files, I ran into this problem while importing my 8.1mb WP .xml file.

What I did to get everything imported:
When I got the 500 Internal Server Error, I kept on refreshing the page until I saw that all of my data had been imported, and was eventually taken to the confirmation page. Every time I clicked my browser’s refresh button to reload the 500 Error page, the dialog box comes up and wanted to resubmit the information. I just accepting the dialog box and kept refreshing the page until a WordPress page came up that listed a lot everything it tried to import, some saying that posts already existed, and said “All done. Have fun.” at the very bottom.

They way I monitored this to make sure things were updating was to have 2 tabs in my browser open. One browser tab was used for the import and to get the 500 Error and the other browser tab was used to view the main blog dashboard that has a count of posts, comments, tags, etc. Every time I would refresh the 500 Error tab, I would let the refresh run for a minute, then switched to the second browser tab and reload that page, which would update the counts of the posts, comments, tags, etc.

I noticed that all of my posts, tags, comments, and categories were eventually added. I also resulted in 6 duplicate categories that had 0 posts in them. After deleting these empty duplicate categories, all of my numbers matched up to the blog I exported from. This might have taken me a half-hour to do.

What I think is going on here is that every time you refresh the page, it skips things that were already imported and imports more. The page re-load skips the stuff that was loaded in before and proceeds to the next stuff.

I think this might be a problem with the server memory limit, which I think there is a 8M limit which cannot be overridden on Dreamhost. “Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)” even though the value defaults at 90M (someone please correct me if I am wrong).

I have not tried to break the .xml into pieces yet but I might try it out because it was a little difficult to implement a custom php.ini.

can check for both:

if(is_category($cat_name) && is_category($cat_id)){
    ...
}

It’s one thing that the person does not attribute the story to you and another that he/she is trying to make monetary gains from your story by surrounding it in advertisements.

You have the evidence because the story images from his site are being pulled from your blogspot account. Just ‘rightclick>view in new window’ the image and this will give you the address. Like others have said, take evidence to the hosting provider.

I have not clue but is your wordpress date/time the same as your server’s date/time? How long have you waited after the missed post time until you manually posted it yourself?

This is also an inconvenience when you use is_category(cat_name) for a category name that shares a string with a similar category name. For example.

using is_category(‘category’) evaluates to true when on the archive page having ‘category12’ as its name.

function is_category ($category = '')
 {
     ...
      if ( in_array( $cat_obj->term_id, $category ) )
          return true;
      elseif ( in_array( $cat_obj->name, $category ) )
          return true;
      elseif ( in_array( $cat_obj->slug, $category ) )
          return true;
      ...
  }

What I believe is happening is that when cat_id ‘3’ is not found in ’42’ it looks for ‘3’ in the current category name. Since it only looks for 3 anywhere in the $category variable, it finds 3 in 3-d evaluates this to true.

I will look into this. Does anyone have suggestions?

Thanks,
