Issues with WordPress.com Blog Transfer to ww.wp.xz.cn

    Hi,
    I’m transferring a WordPress.com blog to a new ww.wp.xz.cn website but I’m having trouble transferring everything. I’ve gone through the usual WordPress tools – export XML file, import using the standard WordPress import tool under “Tools” – but not everything is carrying over.

    One thing I had to do was run the import several times just to get all the POSTS carried over, but that stopped working and things like categories and tags aren’t transferring.

    I also get this database error:

    Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in /home/rlp/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1129

    I hesitate to post a link to the sites as I’m not sure if my client would allow this, so I’m only going to post it if someone deems it necessary to troubleshoot the issue.

    Thanks very much.

    @adeline: those errors are not covered in those links.

    That’s becuase your host is timing out during the import. Who is the host? Do you have access to php.ini in the hosting account to raise memory and timeouts?

    Thanks for the responses. The client has decided to move on with other aspects of this project, but if my services are needed once again for this part of their site, I’ll make edits to the php.ini file. This is the second time someone has suggested this to me, so I have a feeling that’s the key.
