  When I try to use the export tool to export ‘All Content’ the XML file that is downloaded is 0 KB. Can you please help me?

  Just to be sure, is http://maplenewsnetwork.wordpress.com/ the blog you’re trying to export?

  Yes, that is correct.

  Your blog appears to be too large to export in one shot.

  Were you able to generate an export from the past, and do you still have that? If so, try generating an export for specific date ranges since the last one.

  If not, please let me know, and we’ll manually build an export for you.

  The last export I have is from about 6 months ago. I’ve also noticed that the largest accepted size on my custom WordPress install you can import is 7 MB. I’d imagine the posts I have are much larger than that. My only concern of exporting in smaller increments is whether or not I can get all the data off there that I need.

  Yes, in this case you should be able to safely export the date ranges after your last big export. This will have the benefit of giving you smaller separate export files as well.

  The media files are not part of the export file, they’re brought over as part of the import process if you choose the option to import attached media files.
