nickdunn2 I think you need to ask yourself “What would be someone’s incentive who created a theme to then spend countless hours providing support for free?”

Bridge. No. N/A. ??

Thanks very much for the reply. I have found that support for Tesseract is totally lacking. As a result, I researched other themes and found much more full featured ones with good support. I am no longer interested in Tesseract.

How does that help me to get a feel for how easy it is to work for and how well done the theme is?

The site isn’t live yet. I’m developing on my local machine.

I was told in another thread, in this forum, this week that there is no way to transfer the database from a local site to the live site.

So you are saying there is no easy seamless way to get the site looking and working exactly how I want it on my local version of the site and then simply transfer all the work to the live site?

So, the work I’m doing is just proof of concept and I have to keep track of everything I do because I’m going to have to repeat it on the live site?

The changes I’m making are a complete rebuild of the site using the existing content. Making those changes in real time will be certain to take enough time to disrupt the site.

I’m in the processing of redesigning the site. When I’m done I will return sync the changes to the live site. I’m wondering what the ramifications will be to have all the posts showing me as the poster?

Forgot to mark the last message as resolved and I don’t see how to do so when editing the message.

I tried it again this morning with the setting of 240 and it completed and gave me the warm and fuzzy “All Done” message. Thanks very much for your help.

I’m much closer but not quite there. I put in 120 and imported both files and it added more but not all. Then I both again and it appeared to get them all.

However, with the first file I get “All Done”. With the second file it just stops with a “already exists” message.

In an attempt to get a warm and fuzzy of “All Done” on the second file I increased the value to 240. Then after a short while I got…

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in I:\xampp\htdocs\tbcc\wp-includes\class-http.php on line 1610

Is 240 beyond the allowable maximum, so it reverts to 60 seconds, by chance?

It would be a very onerous task to manually verify that all the records transferred so I would feel a lot better if I could get the “All Done” message on the second file, as well.

Sorry for the confusion in the post. I had removed the equals sign from the command.

Is the modification I’ve done sufficient or is there some advantage to the php.ini version that I should consider?

It turns out a single equal sign was the cause of the problem. My .htaccess file looks like this now and I know longer get the maximum size message or the server error.

I changed this
php_value post_max_size = 100M
to this
php_value post_max_size 100M

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /tbcc/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /tbcc/index.php [L]
php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value post_max_size = 100M
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I really appreciate the help.

There is no php.ini anywhere on my computer so I’m trying to modify the .htaccess file.

Both of my attempts caused a server error on my local site. I’ve tried stopping and restarting apache and mysql in xampp but that didn’t help. Here are my two attempts.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /tbcc/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /tbcc/index.php [L]
php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value post_max_size = 100M
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /tbcc/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /tbcc/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value post_max_size = 100M

# END WordPress

So I was dumb before. When I exported the site I did it from the new local site NOT the existing live site. That is why the exported file was so small. Dumb!

I corrected that problem and exported from the existing live site. The process sent me a link to a zip file which I extracted. This resulted in two files. The first was 2,311 KB. The second was 1,019 KB.

I then went to my new local site which currently has just the default content. I attempted to import the files. There was a message Maximum size: 2 MB. I selected the first file which again is 2,311 KB OR 2.3 MB. Attempting to import it gave me this error…
Import WordPress
Sorry, there has been an error.
The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.

Why would this process create a file that is larger than the process allows to be used? More importantly, how do I get around the problem?
