Geeklog to WordPress migration problem with lots of users.

    I am desperately trying to migrate from Geeklog to WordPress. I am running a music portal site with lots of users.

    I’ve installed WordPress 2.9.2 and uploaded the import script (from https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/3398) as described.

    I’ve already migrated another Geeklog site. However this time, the old Geeklog page includes 650 users, which might be too much. I am always getting Allow memory size error messages.

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /path/wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 302

    I’ve even set the memory limit to 256 megabyte and tried out another server.

    Geeklog Version: 1.4.0sr6

    What else can I do? Is there any way to import 200 users step by step?

    I really appreciate your help!!

    There’s more than one way to boost memory allocation, and not every method works on every server.

    Here are four ways to increase PHP’s memory allocation:

    1. If you’re using WordPress 2.9.2 or lower, try adding define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M'); to your wp-config.php file. If you’re using WordPress 3.0 or higher, WordPress automatically does this for a variety of tasks, so there’s really no reason to try it in this case.

    2. If you can edit or override the system php.ini file, increase the memory limit. For example, memory_limit = 256M

    3. If you cannot edit or override the system php.ini file, add php_value memory_limit 256M to your .htaccess file.

    4. If neither of these work, it’s time to ask your hosting provider to temporarily increase PHP’s memory allocation on your account. Keep in mind that most decent hosting providers allocate 32 MB to PHP under each account, and most decent hosting providers allow users to temporarily increase the memory allocation. If your hosting provider won’t accommodate you, perhaps it’s time to find a new hosting provider.

    Thank you for your reply. I used another server and it finally worked.

    Anyway, I’ll keep in mind your recommendation.
