Well, thanks! First of all, here’s the a relevant page on the site: https://www.triplepundit.com/2009/07/wine-tastings-crab-cakes-and-great-scenery-is-this-why-amtrak-is-rising/

Notice that at the top it correctly states that there are 3 comments, but later it says 4 comments, with only 3 showing. One of those 4 is in fact a trackback which is not showing in its little tab.

The line you mention above has been changed to:

count($trackbacks) > 0) wp_list_comments('type=comment&callback=sdac_comment'); ?>

The “sdac” stuff is custom code from the designer and I’ve got no idea where it’s coming from. Then again I’m really new to wordpress so maybe it’s obvious to you?

Thanks man!

Unfortunately looks like the designer put some custom code in there so I can’t figure it out. I’m just going to have to wait. I do have a question though – trackbacks also show up as “comments” in the back-end of WP, with nothing other than my intuition telling me that they are trackbacks and not comments (the […] is the give-a-way).

Is that normal?

Dude, you are a hero!!! Thank you, it finally worked, no weird memory problem. A million thanks!

Is there some kind of static way to do this? I can’t believe this is so difficult. I created the same list in Movable Type in *literally* 30 seconds. I’ve spent almost the entire day trying to do it in WordPress…WTF?

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for.

The only problem is that the page will not load, it just churns and churns and eventually times out… (there are about 3500 urls). I suspect this is due to some kind of php memory setting. Do you know how to rig it so this page will load?

I’m guessing this *might* be the right code:

<?php
if (have_posts()) :
   while (have_posts()) :
      the_permalink();
   endwhile;
endif;
?>

But the bigger question, is where do i put this so that I can see a result? If I create a new template file called, say, delete-me.php where in the world does it show up? there doesn’t seem to be any way to find a URL to a template file. All I want is a simple page that spits out that list. Why is it so difficult to create a simple page in WP? I’m obviously missing something here…

okay, bam, failure due to some kind of memory overload. And once again the authors are randomly assigned to posts. any ideas how to set php to handle more?

The error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /usr/www/users/…path…./wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 302

Responding to myself as I’d like to try this again.

Any advice for a massive migration like this? 3500+ posts, 6000+ comments, 60+ authors?

Should I do this in batches somehow?

Thanks!

Right… assuming i download them all. I guess that’ll have to do.

Thanks for the reply… well I’ve got the logs open but they’re like a zillion lines long, hard to tell where this error is. You know of anything logical to search for?

Thanks! It’s 5.2.9 so probably not php as you say…

What do you think might be wrong with the .htaccess? Here’s what I currently have in there:
————————————–
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

<ifModule mod_php5.c>
php_value post_max_size 100M
php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value upload_max_size 100M
php_value max_execution_time 360000
</IfModule>
————————————–

But as soon as I add the stuff above – the password actually works, then BAM! 500 error… any common mistakes I could be making for this?

Hey – responding to an old post because I just had a hell of a time solving this and couldn’t find a decent explanation in the forums.

This is almost certainly an htaccess thing. YOu need to add this to your htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Hmm.. I think so, how can I tell?

I had total failures on a number of occasions – trying over and over. My problem is that the upgrade just sits there churning away forever and never seems to proceed. Had to do the rename plugin folder to stop it, then got all sorts of fatal errors until I manually upgraded. The automatic upgrade is clearly NOT worth it. I suggest not even trying. The manual process is very time consuming, but seems to be way more reliable.

So, since I have nothing to lose, I’m trying it again for 2.8.1

#1 – Again it just churns and churns. There is no indicator other than the browser to tell me that something is happening or not. There is no messaging to tell me “if this takes more than X minutes, do Y”

#2 – I wait a good 25 minutes. Still churning, site inaccessible. Then I’ll go and disable the plugins directory by renaming it. I had since added the following plugins:

akismet, dd-formmalier, fbconnect, share-this, simple-nav-archives, stats, popular posts, hello, and 3 little custom ones.

#3 Re-Loading the admin page now works. Now has the message – “an automated wordpress update has failed to complete” but the site will no longer load – gives a plugin related error.

#4 – I rename the plugins directory back to the way it was, and now I’m back in the world of permanent churn.

EDIT >> Now this is even more bizarre. The site is loading in Safari now (a fresh browser) but still skunked on FF. I can load admin fine in Safari, skunked on FF. I will restart the browser to see if that helps, but this is just tooo strange.
