 * Any idea why attempts to export tool to export the blog content from this site,
   particularly posts, truncates every time after listing authors?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fexport-failure-from-wordpress-install%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Probably because the tool encountered an unexpected data structure. You’d be 
   better off asking the developers of the export tool. But without being able to
   examine your site’s raw data, finding the problem could be very difficult. Personally,
   I’ve frequently had issues with various export tools. I now generally manage 
   export/import manually through the phpMyAdmin app. It’s a little intimidating
   at first, but it gets much easier after you’ve done it a couple times. I’ve never
   had any issues by going this route.
 * As long as you still have access to the source data, there’s little to lose in
   trying the manual method other than time spent 🙂
