    Hello all,

    I am trying to migrate my wife’s blog from WP.com to Wp.org and ran into a snag.

    WP Version: 4.1
    Host: BlueHost
    XML File Size: ~2.1 MB
    I’ve also tried 300KB, instead.
    Content: Posts and 100+ images

    WP is installed and I’ve followed the tutorials for using the “WordPress Importer” plug-in,latest version. 0.6.1.

    When I upload the XML file using the Importer, I select “Download the attachments.” The browser churns for some time and then there is only a blank white screen in the WordPress GUI.

    I have used the “WordPress WXR File Splitter” to split the XML file up into 10 separate files that are ~300 KB each. I hoped that reducing their size might make the difference.

    No change. The very first file (300KB) had the same result.

    The BlueHost Error Log has entries such as thesE:
    Failed loading /usr/php/54/usr/lib64/php/modules/ZendGuardLoader.so: /usr/php/54/usr/lib64/php/modules/ZendGuardLoader.so: undefined symbol: zend_new_interned_string, referer

    However, I am noticing those errors are still showing up every few minutes, even though I haven’t attempted an Import for a few hours. So, now i’m thinking the “ZendGuardLoader” error may be unrelated.

    You might need to boost PHP’s memory allocation for this.

    Here are three ways to increase PHP’s memory allocation:

    1. If you can edit or override the system php.ini file, increase the memory limit. For example, memory_limit = 128M

    2. If you cannot edit or override the system php.ini file, add php_value memory_limit 128M to your .htaccess file.

    3. If neither of these work, it’s time to ask your hosting provider to temporarily increase PHP’s memory allocation on your account. Keep in mind that most decent hosting providers allocate 32 MB to PHP under each account, and most decent hosting providers allow users to temporarily increase the memory allocation. If your hosting provider won’t accommodate you, perhaps it’s time to find a new hosting provider.

    (in the above examples, the limit is set to 128MB)

    Once you have boosted PHP’s memory allocation, try the import again.
