• Is there a way to import a large XML file into wordpress from the local host and not uploading from the computer?

    If yes, will this resolve the annoying and extremely restrictive file size error of importing large xml files?

    OR is there a toll or plugin I can use?

    We can put men on the moon, but we are still unable to upload a “larger” xml file to wordpress! lol

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Here’s what I’ve done:

    wp-config.php file installed in my WordPress folder added:

    define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘995M’ );
    define( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘999M’ );

    Added to my public_html/php.ini file:
    memory_limit = 999M

    Getting:
    Sorry, there has been an error.
    File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini or by post_max_size being defined as smaller than upload_max_filesize in php.ini.

    This has to be the BIGGEST bug/obstacle/limitation PHP or hosts or wordpress has!
    One can’t backup a site and expect to recover it via XML files if they are larger than 2M? Surely ther has to be a solution for this popular problem?

    Any advice? Thanks all 🙂

    Or is there a way to break up the XML file into smaller chunks, or can I upload the XML directly into the SQL database using MyPhpAdmin? This is unbelievably frustrating! Thanks again for any advice.

    Still looking for a solution, a plug in, anything that can fix this issue. I need to restore my site, I have the XML 312M file and I have no way of importing it? Someone in this universe must have a solution. Anyone? Please? Thank you.

    This must be a problem without a solution
