[wp-forums] Requesting back up

[James Huff]

I just wanted to let everyone know that Michael Adams (mdawaffe) found a solution for me last night.

There were so many tags (a couple thousand) that the export page was choking on the tag pull-down menu.  The solution was to remove the code which generated the tag pull-down menu (lines 110-115) of the /wp-admin/export.php file.  This allowed the export page to finish loading and the export button to appear.  

Unfortunately, there were so many posts and pages (about 8,000+ combined) that exporting the whole thing resulted in a blank file, which left us with two choices.  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.

Thanks again to Michael and everyone else who offered to help!
