increasing import size limit past 2mb

    I’m trying to load my XML file from a free wordpress hosted blog to a site that I’m now hosting. When I downloaded exported the file from the free WP blog, it was in XML but I notice when I try to import it to my new blog it’s saying the WordPress file should be WXR? Perhaps that’s not a major deal. The real question I’m having is about the error message I’m getting –

    “The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini”

    I was able to find php.ini in my host and change the max size to 50mb, but that didn’t fix the problem. I’m guessing I also have to change the max size somewhere in my wordpress files as well but I haven’t been able to find where yet. Any pointers? Thanks for your help.

    That’s what I did, I just imported it numerous times and each time there were more than the last. Breaking it up didn’t work out for me, but it was the first time I’d ever tried anything like that and so I’m sure it was my fault. Try to import it several more times and see if you get more.

    anytime you make changes to php.ini you MUST restart (or have the server restarted for you) for the changes to take effect
