Importing self-hosted WordPress blog
-
I’m trying to import a self-hosted WordPress blog file and it’s taking a long time — as in, I think it’s hung up. I let it run overnight — only a 12 megabyte file — but it’s still not done.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Is this on https://dailyfungoblog.wordpress.com/ ?
It looks like the importer had stalled on that site, so I’ve reset it for you. If it stalls again you might need to use an XML splitter app to break the file up into smaller pieces.

Thanks for resetting! That is the site I’m working with, and I’m still running into problems. Can you recommend an XML splitter app? I see several out there, but not sure which I should trust.

I don’t have direct experience with using them as I only blog on WordPress.com so have never needed one :)
But I’d trust the ones recommended by wpbeginner.com:

It does look like you’ve managed to import several smaller files since, so you might have picked on already. But let me know if you need any more help with this.
