By default, the filename is defined in /wp-admin/includes/export.php: $sitename = sanitize_key( get_bloginfo( ‘name’ ) ); if ( ! empty( $sitename ) ) { $sitename .= ‘.’; } $date = gmdate( ‘Y-m-d’ ); $wp_filename = $sitename . ‘WordPress.’ . $date . ‘.xml’; And you can filter it: $filename = apply_filters( ‘export_wp_filename’, $wp_filename, $sitename, $date ); So … Read more
Look in your wp_options database table for the siteurl and home options and check these are using your local URL. As Captain S commented, these can also be overridden in your wp-config: define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://www.localsite.test’); define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://www.localsite.test’);
To export everything in the database, go to your hosting provider’s control panel such as CPanel and find out how to do “an SQL dump”. An SQL dump is a text file containing the SQL script to rebuild your database on your local computer. You can often do that in software your host may provide … Read more
I’m thinking if there’s no easy way, I could process a WordPress export and use the Tumblr API write method to re-create all the posts, including date and slug… the URLs are likely to end up a little different, though, so I might need to use some mod-rewrite magic until Google picks up on the … Read more
WordPress query mechanism drag whole set of results into memory so they are not suited for such large chunks of information. You can use numberposts and offset in get_posts() to split process into chunks. I am not sure if you will be able to do it in single run even then, so you might need … Read more
Open the WXR in a text editor and see if it contains posts from later years. If not, you will need to revisit your export settings from WP.com to make sure you’re pulling all posts. If it does contain posts from these years, there might be a non UTF8 character breaking the import. You should … Read more
I would setup your Website B, add a user through the control panel, then view what tables in the database they were added to and what extra fields were set. Then use Navicat or phpmyadmin to dump users from Website B into excel, combine the users from Website A, set any missing fields then import … Read more
The WordPress .xml import file only contains post data and not any site settings, such as permalinks. It seems to me that this is only an issue of setting the permalinks the same way of your old site. Settings -> Permalinks (/wp-admin/options-permalink.php) select Day and name save changes If WordPress can’t update the .htaccess file, … Read more
I would not export and import posts as a remote publishing strategy. That is going to be a lot of trouble and probably prone to error. You will also have issues with media uploads that you will have to sync between the local and remote servers and with file URLs that you will have to … Read more
Not a direct answer, but: for simple data exports on the admin side, I generally just use the AJAX API. Set up an AJAX handler for your export: /** * export from admin */ function wpse_126508_export() { header(‘Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8’); header(‘Content-Description: File Transfer’); header(‘Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=wpse_126508_export.xml’); $xml = new XMLWriter(); $xml->openURI(‘php://output’); $xml->startDocument(‘1.0’, ‘UTF-8’); $xml->startElement(‘wpse_126508_export’); // … Read more
