# Default to attribute posts

 * To mirror content of a site, I am doing multiple Export/Import – entire site 
   is much too big to import at one time, even boosting maxfilesize and maxtimeout
   values in php.ini.
 * First import creates users in my target site and attributes posts to them. Subsequent
   imports attribute to my userid unless I check off each author name individually.
   Since I have about 500 authors and need to do about 35 imports, this is a SERIOUS
   issue.
 * Is there a way to tweak the PHP to default the checkboxes to ‘Checked’ instead
   of ‘Unchecked’.
 * Thank you,
 *  RayS
