WP 2.1: xml export/import

Ok, I have fixed the problem by myself:

In wp-admin\export.php from Line 170:

<description></description>

<excerpt:encoded><![CDATA[<?php echo $post->post_excerpt ?>]]></excerpt:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<?php echo $post->post_content ?>]]></content:encoded>

and in wp-admin\import\wordpress.php from Line 228:

   $post_author    = $this->get_tag( $post, 'dc:creator' );

   $post_excerpt   = $this->get_tag( $post, 'excerpt:encoded' );
   $post_excerpt = str_replace(array ('<![CDATA[', ']]>'), '', $post_excerpt);
   $post_excerpt = preg_replace('|<(/?[A-Z]+)|e', "'<' . strtolower('$1')", $post_excerpt);
   $post_excerpt = str_replace('<br>', '<br />', $post_excerpt);
   $post_excerpt = str_replace('<hr>', '<hr />', $post_excerpt);

   $post_content = $this->get_tag( $post, 'content:encoded' );

Works perfect for me.

Might want to submit your change. Info can be found at https://trac.www.ads-software.com.

I have also had a problem importing an old WordPress file. I was using the WordPress.com ‘s website as the host (marksinzi.worpress.com). Then I found another host, 110mb.com. I downloaded the WordPress 2.1 files to my computer. Then I uploaded them to my site on 110mb.com (marksinzi.110mb.com/worpress/) All of this seems to work, I even uploaded a different theme and it worked.

SO then I exported from WordPress.com (rec’d an .xml file).

I went to the wp-admin for the site on 110mb.com, and tried the import function. I got this error:

Import WordPress
The uploaded file could not be moved to /www/110mb.com/m/a/r/k/s/i/n/z/marksinzi/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content.
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /www/110mb.com/m/a/r/k/s/i/n/z/marksinzi/htdocs/wordpress/wp-admin/admin-header.php:16) in /www/110mb.com/m/a/r/k/s/i/n/z/marksinzi/htdocs/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1219

I saw Helli’s fiz for the export.php and import.php files for WP 2.1. But how do I fix the export.php if I am using WordPress.com?

Try removing the header statement from you datafile generator..

header (“Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8”)

Or try flushing your cache

I don’t know why this topic shows as resolved – it is still an issue in 2.3.2 — post excerpts do not export or import.

Thanks for the fix, Helli – although the line #’s have changed on more recent versions.

(I’ve submitted the change in the trac.)
