I ran the WordPress Database Backup plugin (before upgrading) which left me with a SQL file. Does anyone know how to convert an SQL to a WXR file? I'm going to try importing the missing pages.

I'm in the process of attempting to migrate off the ExpressionEngine platform to individual WP installs for the various blogs I either host or run myself. The suggested method of doing this is to use the MT Import format to make the transition, but there are two problems with that approach: 1) I lose all my tags (I'm using a tag module) and my category hierarchy is lost and 2) there's no way to specify an email for the author of entries so when WP makes the users for the entries not authored by myself those users have no way of getting their passwords reset for their accounts. I thought I'd just make a template for EE that would output all the data needed for a WXR file, but I can't seem to locate any info on what that file should consist of. So I set up a test WP install and exported a sample file. I now have an EE export template that is about 85% functional which is far from perfect. Of the 10 entries I export from EE with it WP imported 6 and screwed up their order and didn't like the dates on some of them. So what I'm looking for is a detailed notation of what constitutes a WXR file. What lines are mandatory and what lines will WP fill in automatically if they're not provided in the file. I think I can make an EE template that would work 100% if I had that info. Can anyone point me to where I might find some documentation on WXR?

I m having same probleme. My export file is empty ... i do not know why. i use wp 2.8.4 and i've about 2500 posts to export. Where is the problem? :)) Thanks if some one has answers dalipas on "Incomplete WordPress eXtended RSS/WXR File" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/221959#post-1200438 Sat, 05 Sep 2009 09:27:24 +0000 dalipas 1200438@http://wordpress.org/support/ I have the same problem with the latest 2.8.4 version of WordPress. I hope the wordpress developers will find a solution for that ! It is so hard to export / import / translate all post, link, pics, videos etc. from one blog to another when you change provider for example ! Simple database backup is not enough at all !!! timdesjardins on "Wordpress won’t import my categories and tags" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/251873#post-1191451 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 18:01:34 +0000 timdesjardins 1191451@http://wordpress.org/support/ Here's what I did to get tags working properly: Use the following for the tags (one tag per line): <code><wp:tag><wp:tag_slug>iPhone</wp:tag_slug><wp:tag_name><![CDATA[iPhone]]></wp:tag_name></wp:tag></code> instead of (one tag on multiple lines): <pre><code><wp:tag> <wp:tag_slug>tag1</wp:tag_slug> <wp:tag_name> <![CDATA[tag1]]> </wp:tag_name> </wp:tag></code></pre> The thing to remember is that they are just doing simple line oriented (and dumb regex) parsing of the XML and not true serialization (unfortunately.) The same is true for categories. timdesjardins on "Wordpress won’t import my categories and tags" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/251873#post-1191382 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 16:54:42 +0000 timdesjardins 1191382@http://wordpress.org/support/ Process_tags function can't handle Wordpress' own tag format. This is with version 2.8.4, so I can't speak to older versions. I think. Still testing Very odd. sunshinelove on "WXR Import Screwed Up My Image URLs" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/216333#post-1176361 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 23:44:34 +0000 sunshinelove 1176361@http://wordpress.org/support/ I'm sure this is no help at all after all this time, but I think the XML line you're missing in the import is <code><wp:status>publish</wp:status></code> Without it, your entries will stay in draft mode until you change them by hand or rerun the import with that line in each item. jeffmcneill on "Wordpress won’t import my categories and tags" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/251873#post-1174445 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 00:58:48 +0000 jeffmcneill 1174445@http://wordpress.org/support/ This is still broken in WP 2.7.1, both for categories and for tags. The fix above works for categories, but tags has no checkboxes to toggle... iridiax on "how to export content on WP 1.5" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/291175#post-1144528 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 10:34:39 +0000 iridiax 1144528@http://wordpress.org/support/ You can't import from an older version to a newer one because there are differences in the databases.

Everytime I try to download the Export file, it doesn't give me all of the posts in should! There are approx 6,000 posts and when I export the WXR file, it says the file is finished downloading, but, when I check the file it only has about 3000 posts? and I know that it's not the full file because the closing </channel> is nowhere to be seen! Anyone know how to fix this? I would be very grateful and would it appreciate it a lot!

I really hope the WordPress team would look into this. Perhaps we should raise this in the Ideas section too. Though my guess is that a database export-import (instead of the WXR/XML file upload) would fix this problem. hbcusportsblog on "Importing WordPress eXtended RSS (WXR )" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/186136#post-1085598 Thu, 28 May 2009 14:04:12 +0000 hbcusportsblog 1085598@http://wordpress.org/support/ <blockquote>Increase the upload size settings in your PHP installation.
