YAY. Thanks to Alex Sysoef for pointing me in your direction. The import/export or export/import worked great after I reinstalled my datatbase and broken blog I was able to export the posts. Phew. Then I imported the file to my new updated blog with the new Data Base, and now it is functioning other than the fine tuning I want to do. It is great to have help around if you know where to find it. Ok I answered my questions and now I have my blog back with my posts. YAY. Thanks to Alex Sysoef for pointing me in your direction.

I just lost my whole blog maybe. I backed up everything, then deleted my whole database. Then deleted my whole blog because it was not running right, it kept reverting to the Kubrick template. Now I did a perfect new install except all my archived content is gone. How do I find? Do I reinstall all the backups? Then see if I can figure out what you are talking about here? Well maybe someone will read this and have some help other than saying "it sucks to be you". OOPS! I just lost my whole blog maybe. I backed up everything, then deleted my whole database.

I recently switched servers (read yesterday) and I have never done the import/export process. Everything seemed to be going fine but my export file was 8.7mb. I had my server administrator set the limit up from the default 2 to 10 and it still would not load. Fearing the worst I got really frustrated because it kept giving me an error that there was no info in the file. I finally moved my blog back to my old server which luckily worked and then exported by author. This gave me a slightly smaller file since I had 2 extra authors and I was able to import with no problem. Thanks for this post and for the replies.

I was wondering if it's possible to do such a thing. I wish plugins didn't leave your database with unnecessary rows, etc. Thanks for letting me know how to remove all the trashy rows, etc. in a wordpress database!

At the same time I changed themes, upgraded to 2.3.3, trimmed down the plugins, and upon discovering that the posts were all re-numbered, I decided to switch to a name-based fancy permalink setup. After trying php.ini file amendments, tech support requests etc., I ended up opening the xml file up, taking the basic structure as a template, and creating 3 new (small enough) XML files. Feel free to read a little more over here - <a href="http://chrismerriman.com/blog-revamp-completed/" title="Blog Revamp Completed" rel="nofollow">. Wow, just checked it, and I really need to break up my text a little better, apologies. Thanks for the info, next time I'll try out the MySQL route :) I hit a 2mb limit when I transferred hosts.
