Thank you very much for the information. I will work towards switching over to Linux. I’ll have to learn alot more about it first. I appreciate the help!

I am on Windows hosting now. Thank you for the suggetion to switch to linux. I will have to read up on all the precautions I’ll have to take so that I don’t lose anything. I may just decide to stay on wordpress.com or take anther route to monetize my content – this is much more complicated than I bargained for.

Thank you for the information. I will have to look into this more. If I get a linux hosting plan without anything installed does this mean I have to start fresh with a whole new domain? I am presently trying to incorporate my blog into an existing website. Food for thought. Thank you so much for the response and if anyone else is having this problem please let me know how you were able to transfer your wordpress.com blog posts to www.ads-software.com.

Best Regards,
Roger

When creating the wordpress export file you are given a choice to export by author. So I added a 2nd author to my wordpress.com and bulk edited about 300 of my 2000 posts to the new author. Then I created an export file of just the 2nd author’s posts which gave me a file size of just below 2 MB. So I thought I had this problem licked, but when trying to import the file to my www.ads-software.com blog, I am still getting a fatal error. This is very frustrating. So it seems I can’t import any size file to my new blog. Any suggestions? Thank you, Roger

I made the PHP.ini file with the one line of code

memory_limit = 64M ;

and uploaded it to my wordpress folder.

The 8.78 MB still wouldn’t upload.

Now I am at a dead end again.

Any further help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your response. I added this line of code to my wp-config.php file: define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

I then tried to upload the 8.78 MB file and it still failed to upload.

I then called my host godaddy.com and they weren’t sure if they would support this problem, but he suggested doing something to my PHP.ini file and I asked if I had access to this file but he didn’t see a PHP.ini file. He said I could create a PHP.ini file using notepad.

Now I am going to make a notepad file with the one line of code you suggested in #2

memory_limit = 64M ;

and name it PHP.ini and upload it to the wordpress folder in my godaddy account.

If that doesn’t work, where can I find an .htaccess file as you suggested in #3? I’ve looked in my wordpress folder but don’t see that. Any additional help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Roger
