 * Hello, greetings.
    I’m trying to export my content (more that 6,000) pages to
   host in wordpress.com because I simple cannot afford any longer with a dedicated
   system. However, and I tried in 3 browsers. C S F I get allwas the same result:“
   Firefox can’t find the file at [http://ww&#8221](http://ww&#8221); I tried to
   export category by category and worked out. But this process will be able to 
   remount the “category tree during the importation? Is there a pluging thta could
   be a “super exporter”> I’m grate in advance for any help I receive. Best regards
   Claudio

 * I’m pretty sure it will although I’ve never exported such a huge number of posts
   from one site to another. I think it’s the sheer number of pages that is causing
   the export to timeout right now.

 * Is a huge large site. Is the result of 12 years of job.
    COuld you tell me if
   exportation of cat by cat and the refered importantion could solve the matter?
   Than you in advance

 * As I said, I’ve never exported such a huge number of posts from one site to another.
   so I can’t answer you with absolute certainly. All I can suggest is that you 
   try it out with a couple of the smaller categories first.

 * There might be another alternative. Bear with me whilst I make some enquiries…

 * HI!
    I made different. Instead to migrate categories, I migrated from date periods.
   Eg. january 2000 december 2000. Matter of fact is very slow to migrate, but it
   works Thank you for your attention Bests wishes Claudio

 * Were you able to get yourself up and running that way?
 * Some export files are too large for us to import, so we have to run a CLI importer,
   but we can always do that for you free of charge if you contact us via [http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/)
 * If it’s timing out on the export, there’s not much we can do for that since it’s
   outside of our control. Generally, I just recommend asking your hosting provider
   to temporarily boost the PHP memory limit, or splitting the export up by date
   range.
 * Once you have the export file, no matter how large it is, we can help get you
   up and running at no extra charge.
