Failing to create export

Hey there!

I manage two blogs A & B. Both sites have already existed for a while and are currently up to date with the most current version of WP.

The client now has decided to shutdown blog A and move all posts to blog B.

So, I wipped out the standard import/export tool. And that’s where issues started. If I decide to export everything, the resulting XML file is small (188kb). It seems that nothing is really being exported.

If I decide to export posts only, I get a slightly bigger XML file (1.6MB) which actually includes the post text. I can import that, but it’s lacking any media. Due to the amount of media files, I don’t think it’s feasible to manually import and adapt all of it.

However, If I decide to export media only, I get an XML file that apparently doesn’t include any attachments at all.

I tried to check the debug log for any errors and it seems that Blog A keeps generating bad XML strings, when I try to export all.
Blog B complains, upon importing, that 2:1 Extra content at the end of the document. Although the XML is only 188kb big.

Are there any tips to get this working?
Thanks in advance
