WordPress Archiving in New WordPress install

    Apparently, my wordpress database is so large and unwieldy that my ISP has indicate this is why my site keeps going down with a “Error establishing a database connection.” The queries are getting stuck because it can’t get through the size of the database quickly enough.

    As such, and because I don’t want to lose all of my old posts, I need to find a way to either create a separate WP install that I can somehow move old posts into or find a plugin that creates/uses a separate mysql DB to shift posts to as a sort of “archive.”

    Anyone know of anything that might meet my needs?

    Hm, that doesn’t seem right. There are sites with millions of posts on WordPress (all of CNN and Time Magazine, for example).

    There’s probably a rogue plugin with a query that gets stuck.

    Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Fifteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
