 * Hi,
 * I’m having difficulties with the wordpress export facility. It’s not importing/
   exporting my post_meta information correctly it places it in a custom field as
   pgopts then the array of information as a value.
 * This is how I retrieve the array date to my custom field
 * <?php wp_nonce_field( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ), $pgopts . ‘_wpnonce’, false,
   true );
 *  foreach($meta_post_gallery as $meta_box) {
    $data = get_post_meta($post->ID,
   $pgopts, true);
 *  require CWZ_FILES . ‘/adm/inc/meta_config.php’; // HTML formatting for data
 *  } ?>
 * This is how I update my post_meta.
    update_post_meta( $post_id, $pgopts, $data);
 * All this works absolutely fine apart from when I want to export the data and 
   re-import it.
 * Any suggestions?
 * Thanks
