Hi,
WordPress 2.8 version have an option to import the files so import your file of posts which will automatically stores data in the database..
Thanks,

@shane G: That’s what is not working!
@ryans149: That seems to be about the opposite of what I need. If there is something relevant there, please copy and paste it here, so I don’t have to look through the whole thing, trying to find what you are talking about.

Never Mind All! I discovered the uploading problem was with the permissions in the upload folder. Thanks for all the help.
i have the same problem, but it seems like a timeout issue, any way of converting xml to sql insert?
thx!
thanks for the reply, i have tried all of those, except for this:
“
Increase the setting values via ini_set lines in wp-config.php. Talk to your host for the correct values.
“
I am on godaddy, any idea what I would need to add to wp-config?
As far as the others, I’ve tried making all the edits without any luck. But the changes to .htaccess cause all sites on the host to stop working, so I wasn’t able to use those.
Also on that page I saw this:
“
* Increase the file upload size limit and/or file upload space limit:
1. Login to wp-admin as an administrator.
2. In the Site Admin navigation box, click “Options”
3. Scroll down and change the settings for “Max upload file size” and/or “Blog upload space”
“
I don’t see that anywhere within the wordpress.org admin panel?
Thanks so much!
also, my timeout seems to be very fast, i have broken down my XML file into about 200-300 small xml files which each have about 40 ‘items’ in them, but still each of these will timeout sometimes so there must be something very wrong that I just don’t understand. I have no idea what to do 🙂
You could ask Godaddy for any ideas.
Or if you can’t get past that hurdle, install XAMPP and WordPress on your local computer, do the import there then do the phpMyAdmin MySQL export and then import that at godaddy.
godaddy couldn’t help me at all
great idea on the local install, wish i’d thought of that
i broke the file down into 46 smaller files and imported them individually, reloading the import page whenever it timed out, so eventually i got it finished
however, none of the posts have any tags anymore, the tags are all there and the posts are all there, but there is no correlation, looks like a bug?
cheers!
