You’ll have to further restrict by doing one category at a time. The size of the export file is a result of the XML format & number of posts/amount of content. The export file has to match the format that you can re-import into WordPress.

anyway to selects days within a month, I have a month with too many post for the plugin to handle and I get an empty file. It works fine with months that have less post …thanks Alex

Sounds like a plugin. I just tried exporting a single category with no other filters set and got all the posts in that category.

Try it with all your plugins turned off.

Hi Ron,

I’m having an issue with the built in export plugin in 3.0. Not sure if this is a good spot to ask for support, but thought I’d give it a shot.

Basically the problem is that every time I try to export all posts from one category on my site, I get only one post. Not only that, but it’s often not even a post that is from the category I requested (!)

Any idea why this might be happening?

That’s the built in export you are using. If you have a large blog, try exporting one year at a time. Alternatively, you may be having an error with a plugin, etc.

The default export tool exported all the blog. The point of the Advanced Export was to allow breaking the export into several export files.

Hi, thanx for the script. I got this error when try to export all the post.

Firefox can’t find the file at http://….

The solution was to export year by year. It must be because the size of export file was too big.

Try the Advanced Export for WordPress & WordPress MU. The link to it is in the post above.

Alternatively, you can wait for WordPress 3.0 where the Advanced Export plugin functionality has been rolled into core.

Hey guys,

I keep getting the following error:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /~/~/~/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 385

When trying to export my database. Does anyone know of a Plugin to fix that, as I’m trying to export it into an .XML file.
