 * High, I get an empty export file, there is no data in it (192kb). I have about
   5000 posts so that’s a bit weird. The site is on a Linux hosting, php 5, WordPress
   2.7.1. Does anybody have an idea how I can fix this problem?

   of the exported file between 15-25 megs, now the exported .xml file weight 80k,
   seem empty to me !, what append, what cause that, and to fix the thing ?

 * After doing some database cleanup (optimize, remove revisions, etc.), this problem
   cleared up, as did issues my sitemap time outs and backups not being emailed.

 * Oh well – might as chime in. Export files suddenly dropped form 10 MB to ca 300Kb.
   On version 2.9.2, btw. I’ve found a few threads with this problem. No solution
   yet.
