# Comments missing from WordPress export

 * Hi,
 * I’ve done a WordPress export this morning as I’m moving my blog from single WP
   to a blog on a WPMU installation.
 * The problem is that during the day I’ve had some extra comments on the blog, 
   so I performed another export intending to strip these comments out to just import
   them into the new WPMU.
 * Problem is, they’re not appear in the export! I can’t even find the post they’re
   on in the export!
 * Does anyone know of any caching of export files that might cause this? Or any
   other reason why this would be the case?
 * Phil

 * Has no-one had this issue, or see how it might occur? I thought maybe WP does
   some caching and that’s where the new comments are going…?

 * Having done another export a few days, and posts and comments, later it seems
   that WordPress isn’t actually building the XML properly.
 * It’s cutting out half-way through posts and not finishing, resulting in an incomplete,
   badly formed XML file.
 * Anybody else seen this, especially in trac? Seems like it might be a bug…

 * I am having the same issue. The export seems to cut off right when it gets to
   the comments for a post. Still searching for a fix here.

 * I was able to resolve the issue by breaking up the export into separate files
   using the Advanced Export plugin here:
