[wp-forums] Requesting back up

[James Huff]

That must have either been done away with, or it's server-specific, since the full export file after bumping the memory allocation to 256M was about 38MB.

Bumping PHP's memory allocation to 256M via php.ini allowed us to export the whole thing, and (also thanks to Michael) replacing line 78 of /wp-admin/includes/export.php with $tags = (array) wp_get_object_terms( $post_ids, 'post_tag' ); allowed us to export month by month without bumping the memory.
