Actually, don’t worry about replying — I just realised you did so in another thread, and on your website. The trick, for those who have stumbled here, is splitting your sql file up into parts, until each is small enough to work by itself. I note in passing that when moving to a new server it is essential to re-run your permalink settings in your options.

Cheers,

Brad.

Hi Podz,

Is there any chance you could post the solution here? I am currently having the same problem.

Cheers,

Brad.

Worked for me too — thanks for the tip.

Hear hear —
Another problem with using Textile or some other text processor in WordPress at present is that the information sent out via the RSS feed is the pre-formatted text, which will not be parsed by 99% of RSS readers, one would imagine…
Brad.

Just to add to the chorus, I have had the same problem, and ended up reverting to the original configuration (no parallel directories), and I agree with everyone else here:
1. It’s a pretty important thing to have your weblog appear in the root directory of your site.
2. It’s also pretty important for the files running the blog to NOT be in the root directory of your site.
3. This should be a one-click operation from the admin screens, not an arcane hack.
I for one would like to see the fix happen soon, before search engines find my site only for it to be moved…
Brad.

I’ve added the first hack above but am still getting problems for particular cases, for example here, where the quotes are around an anchor. Do any of the alternative text formatters handle quotations properly?
