Import Large WordPress WXR File

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Migrated my wife’s blog to my web hosting successfully, finally. I hate migrate blog, is a tedious and troublesome job. Hope this is the last time!

I used WordPress Export and Import method. It is the easiest way.

Too Large to Import

Unfortunately, the exported file 10.9MB cannot be import back. My web hosting only accept WXR file up to 8MB.

Of course easiest way is to change upload_max_filesize value in php.ini settings file. Need administrator access to change the setting. Since I’m not on dedicated server, have to use another workaround. (more…)

After some research, found a workaround to migrate BlogSpot’s blog. (more…)
