    I am adding a solution to a problem I was having. This may seem pretty easy, but it took me a few hours to figure out.

    My file from wordpress.com (w/ all my old posts, comments, categories) was 10M AFTER deleting all my spam. I couldn’t transfer my files to www.ads-software.com b/c I was limited to a file transfer of 2MB.

    I took the php.ini file located in public_html and found the file upload limit (searched for 2M) and changed from 2M to 10M. Put a copy of this file in the folder where the upload script occurs, in my case it was public_html/wp-admin. And it worked!

    Hope this helps those having trouble importing large files.

  • Please don’t multi post on the same subject. All you do is create more work for the volunteers here.

    +1 for deleting the spam though. Most folks don’t realize that those do get exported out as well since they haven’t been dealt with yet.

    Anyone who reads this thread should probably contact your host before modifying their php.ini as some hosts consider this a modification that isn’t allowed by their tos and may get you booted if caught. You can always ask your host to make the changes themselves for a short time as well. (That probably would be best.)
