WordPress WXR File Splitter (RSS XML) -- Updated v1.52!
Written by Ranger Pretzel   
Friday, 24 May 2013
Image

Hey all you WordPress fans. Ever tried to move your blog from one server to another, only to find out that the WXR file that you're trying to import is too big? Well, you could try fiddling with PHP variables to increase the upload size limit, but even then you might run into some sort of execution time-out. Heck, your server admin may not even let you change these settings.

The way around this problem is to split your humongous WXR data file into smaller chunks. Sure you could do it "by hand", but wow, would that take forever.

Good news, everybody! Version 1.52 of the WXR Splitter is here! The new software includes:

  • Super fast parsing of the WXR file. A 32MB file can be loaded in under 3 seconds!
  • Files are split by file size rather than by number of files.

Click here to download: The WXR File Splitter v1.52

(Old version of WXR File Splitter v.1.02 still available. Slower; splits by # of files desired. File size varies.)

This software requires a PC running Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 with the .NET 2.0 framework installed. (Over 90% of Windows users can run .Net 2.0 applications -- If you don't have it installed, you can download .NET directly from Microsoft.)

Just download the file, unzip the file, and run it. It is a very simple 2-step process to break the large file into smaller, more manageable files (as shown in the image above.)

Jim Bowman - Using this splitter   | 99.177.131.xxx | 2010-02-25 22:02:03
Just did so, it worked like a charm. Congratulations on this excellent workaround of downloads too big for WPress to swallow.
dave - problems   | 24.82.177.xxx | 2010-03-02 20:54:42
the splitter seems to have worked, i chose 7 files so each is about 1.5Mb at the moment, however when I do the import, it doesn't import all the stuff in the files, any idea why? I checked the files and there's lots of posts, should be over 1000 but after importing all the xml files I have only 7 posts. confused!
Ranger Pretzel   | Super Administrator | 2010-03-03 00:36:28
Dave: I had a similar problem with my friend's blog. I used the splitter to break the massive WXR file into 27 smaller ones (100 items per file), but even then, each Import job would sometimes hang or fail. So I found if I hit the "reload" button on my browser and pressed the "resend" button, it would pick up where it left off.
dave - oh really?   | 24.82.177.xxx | 2010-03-03 00:35:50
oh really???? I have been trying for hours and hours with no luck, I will try your suggestion! Thank you!
Gabriel   | 151.226.45.xxx | 2013-06-20 18:11:05
For anyone who has this problem, you need to adjust your php.ini settings. Namely the maximum execution time for each script. Set the & #34;max_execution_ti
me" to a bigger value. For e.g. max_execution_time = 600 means 10 minutes. The default for many hosts is too short for this kind of tasks. Hope this helps.
Ranger Pretzel   | Super Administrator | 2010-03-03 00:42:41
Also, one thing to note, (like many people) we were trying to use the "download and import" feature since her site had a lot of images on it. And there was one XML file that just wouldn't finish/complete and I noticed that the file it was trying to download from the WordPress servers was over 10MB. To work around this, I located the single troublesome ITEM in the XML file and deleted it. All the other items imported fine. I then manually recreated that entry via the WP Dashboard/Admin panel.
dave - wow   | 24.82.177.xxx | 2010-03-03 00:43:48
it does appear to be working. . .
Ranger Pretzel   | Super Administrator | 2010-03-03 00:45:25
Sweet. Glad I could help out! :)
dave - it worked   | 24.82.177.xxx | 2010-03-03 05:08:18
got it done, thanks for the help!

although reloading the page does effectively continue on, i suspect it actually just restarts the process but because the first 'items' already exist it can skip those and get further on each iteration. it doesn't matter really, but at first i tried to do a 7Mb file but it wasn't working because it still has to skip tons of stuff first and can timeout there.

best bet is to follow the advice above, split xml into 100 items chunks and just keep hitting reload on the page when it stops.

i had to upload 46 files it took several hours, but it was better than doing several hundred. hopefully i never have to do that again!

cheers!
dave - local install   | 206.108.31.xxx | 2010-03-03 18:34:05
as someone mentioned elsewhere a good idea is to perform the import on a local install, then export to sql from there, wish i thought of that ;)
Ranger Pretzel - too much work   | Super Administrator | 2010-03-03 20:19:49
Heh, ya know, I thought of doing that, but then realized I would have to install a copy of Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP, and THEN install WordPress and THEN import the XML file. (Seemed like a lot of work.) Granted writing an app to split the WXR file wasn't easy either, but it only took me a few hours to get it right... :woohoo:
dave - xamp   | 206.108.31.xxx | 2010-03-03 20:26:14
hehe yeah :)

can't you install it on windows with xamp fairly quickly? I think I've done it before, but my host is on linux so perhaps this wouldn't work? no idea

dave - local import problems   | 207.216.177.xxx | 2010-03-13 20:18:53
hey, after all i'm back and trying to import to a local install but i keep getting this error (edited url):

Importing attachment http://xxxxxxxxxxx.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/img_0222.jpg... Remote file error: Remote server did not respond

but when i actually go to
http://xxxxxxxxxxx.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/img_0222.jpg

it works fine, any idea why the import would be failing like this? i get the same error with every single attachment, thanks a lot for any help really appreciated!

dave
Ranger Pretzel   | Super Administrator | 2010-03-13 20:30:30
Actually, yes, I had a similar problem with my friend's site. Just like you, I could download the image in my browser, but the import function would fail. So instead, I downloaded the image directly to the same server we were transferring over to. Then in the XML file, wherever that one file URL path existed (usually in about 2 or 3 places in the XML file), I replaced it with the local server path.

My conclusion is the the remote Wordpress servers are so slow, the the import script times-out or something. But when the file is local, it's able to pull it in immediately without any delay. I only had to do this for 2 files.

Give it a shot and let me know how it works for you...
dave - hmmm   | 207.216.177.xxx | 2010-03-13 20:42:18
the problem is that there are thousands of posts and images there's no way i can do it manually

argh this is frustrating! i guess maybe i could use some kind of script to download all the images if i can isolate all the urls

you're right it's got to be a timeout problem, there has to be a setting somewhere for the timeout that i'm missing, i tried these directions http://nick-hoffman.blogspot.com/2009/09/importing-large-wordpress-blogs.html and then restarted the servers but im still seeing the same problem, wordpress decides in about 1 second that the server didn't respond and moves on to the next file, hmmmmm
Ranger Pretzel   | Super Administrator | 2010-03-13 21:32:47
well, typically, it's only 1 or 2 posts, so you don't have to do all 1000 or so. Just figure out which 1 is causing the problem and manually edit the XML for that one case... Good luck.
dave - :(   | 207.216.177.xxx | 2010-03-13 21:39:53
the posts/categories/tags and all that are importing nicely but every single attachment throws the remote server did not respond error

i changed all the timeout values i could find even digging into the wordpress core like functions.php and http.php but no luck, same problem

i'll wait for some help on the wordpress forums hopefully

but thanks for the suggestion of manually downloading all the images that's a good idea, im trying to think of how to write a script to download a few thousand images using http urls? maybe a batch/shell script could do it? i'm not amazing with scripting and i can't find a script that would do this already unfortunately!
dave   | 207.216.177.xxx | 2010-03-14 07:08:50
the cause was that the wordpress.com installation was set to private, even though the files were accessible directly
Todd J. List   | 69.245.72.xxx | 2010-03-19 02:16:47
Thanks so much!

This looks like a cool tool. I will keep this in mind the next time I need to move a big site. Last time I was able to hack the PHP upload limitations. I may not be so lucky next time.

Dave, did you get your issue sorted?
dave   | 207.216.177.xxx | 2010-03-19 02:28:26
"kind of" i'm actually running the local import again as i write this, i can't seem to get all the images, or they are going into the wrong upload folders for some reason, for example during the import it will import:
/2009/02/test.jpg

and then when i search for the file on my hard drive, it is under /2009/10/ and i don't even have an /2009/02/ folder so basically a lot of the images don't work right now
dave - done   | 206.108.31.xxx | 2010-03-19 15:33:24
finally got it done, for no reason the images pre 2009/10 were all going into 2009/10 so i had to run sql updates to fix it

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE ( post_content, 'oldurl/2009/02', 'newurl/wp-content/uploads/2009/10')

and then again for 2009/03 etc.

and then to fix the newer images to point to the new domain:

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE ( post_content, 'oldurl', 'newurl/wp-content/uploads')

cheers for the help!
mark k. - Thanks   | 84.228.83.xxx | 2010-04-03 03:04:36
That was realy helpfull. The only suggestion, if you ever going to change anything, is to change the option from number of files to maximal size of file (dump the previous items when the current one bypass this limit) maybe the result will be less files to import...
Ranger Pretzel   | Super Administrator | 2010-04-06 23:41:45
That's not a bad idea. It would require a good bit more programming, though. Perhaps I could put an additional line in there noting the estimated file size. That would be pretty easy.
Rich - Doesnt work   | 81.141.101.xxx | 2010-04-09 19:44:15
Hi,
Seems like a great tool, but it doesn't work for me. I've got a 32mb XML file and when I try and split it, it jams on Step 2, Searching for items. Any ideas?

Hi, Ranger !

looks like you did a great job. Yet I have not tested your tool. Better to ask before...

I had the same problem as many. My last backup with smaller size than 8 MB I was able to do in November 2009. It had 7.3 MB. The Export/Import worked fine.

Suddenly and unexpected now the exported file of my blog at wordpress.com has a bigger size of nearby 9 MB.

As I found some tips on the web 1st I changed the datas in wp-config.pho or php.ini, nothing changed; I cannot import that file size locally on my own server (I use WAMP server (very cool freeware !!) on a local Vista mashine, to have my blog working even offline and backupped). Actually I am planning an online version with wordpress.org, too as it gives me more option with plugins Google Analytics etc. ... so I need to know how to import an XML size of bigger > 8 MB without too many try & errors.

The question is how to proceed best migrating the datas and how to split (???). By sure, I dont want import 20 little file...
ElJay Arem (IMC OnAir - IMCRad - Number and Size of splitted WX   | 95.118.41.xxx | 2010-06-28 21:59:23
part 2...

... by sure, I dont want import 20 little files of each 100 Items. - Or must it be like that ??? (sounds like a nightmare)

Shall I empty 1st my existing second blog on WAMP server ? - And then importing the splitted files ?

How big should be the splitted files. The 9 MB big exported XML has 2100 items with nearby 800 postings.

Is it OK to split it in 3x700 Items ? If I do, each file has 2.75 (1st), 2.83 (2nd) and 3.077 MB (3rd part). Or is that size too big ? How big is the risk to loose one of the postings or image links ?

I have a 2nd blog which runs online already, same I like to backup it "offline" with WAMP Server. As it is connected with RSS news syndication, it already has nearby 4000 postings with an exported XML file size of nearby 42 MB.
Do I have to split the 4100 items with each max. 1000 items ? - That means 40 files... isnt a better way possible ? 6x 7 MB file size would be more easier...

Hope I do not bother you with such questions. I am a total...

Pratik Bagaria - Setting up a new site with exi   | 210.211.139.xxx | 2010-07-09 04:31:27
Hi there,

Firstly thanks for such a good program.
I am redesigning a new site using WP. The existing site is also using WP and i kinda 2 yrs old. There is tons of posts, tags and images.

So I had designed the new site on my mac locally usinf MAMP. All design work is done... Now the most imp. part was getting the data. I thought a simple export - import wud do the work... but i was wring :(

The exported XML file was 49MB in size.. and while importing locally also it crashed... and only half of the data got imported... :(

Now I will try splitting the XML file into many parts and then import. Hoping it goes well...!!

Only confusion is how can i delete the half imported data from my wordpress setup???
blueamulet - Having trouble with split file   | 206.162.192.xxx | 2010-08-01 14:48:45
Okay, I thought I had really found the answer to my headaches, but not yet, it seems... I can easily use the splitter, it only takes a few seconds, but my split files are still too big! :pinch: Well, one was too big while the second was small. I have one xlr file that is about 2.5 MB and conceivably should be split into 3 parts, not just two. But I can't use the last option to make as many parts as I want. How to do this?

Thanks ;)

RubyTuesday - What is an ITEM?   | 140.147.6.xxx | 2010-12-27 14:25:53
Hi Mr Pretzel,

Just for interest's sake, can you please give us a definition of an 'ITEM'? It's more or less a 'chunk' of information of arbitrary size, or is it a bit more subtle than that?

Thanks!
Ranger Pretzel   | Super Administrator | 2011-01-20 21:24:12
Hello Ruby, et al.
I'm not entirely sure what an "ITEM" is... It is just a tag defined in the WordPress XML specification. Taking a look at the XML file, I can see that an ITEM is a full Wordpress entry, including the original post as well as all the comments and anything else associated with that post.

Hopefully this explanation helps.
Talha Shakeel - Thanks A lot   | 119.155.43.xxx | 2010-12-29 06:41:56
thanks for sharing such a great tool ...its lovely ... thanks alot.... great job

This totally saved my as*! :) Thanks for the great program. <img src=ide:' /> super thank you!!
Chau Nguyen - Fantastic! but I'm wondering   | 98.166.26.xxx | 2011-02-27 12:57:57
In Step 2, that you maxed it at 1000 for the number of ITEMs per file?

Thanks for the program!!
Ranger Pretzel - No reason...   | Super Administrator | 2011-03-09 00:50:15
1000 seemed like a really high number. The new version (coming out any day now) won't split by number of Items per file, but will split up the files by specified size. The new version is also super fast.

EDIT: Just released the new version 1.50 -- you can download it now! :)
Dave - absolutely rubbish!   | 86.30.33.xxx | 2011-03-11 11:20:12
I had a 15mb file...

I selected 1.5mb a file (thus make 10 files surely!?) but says 3 files.... then it created 3 files of 10.4mb each... making them over double the original one.

I don't understand!!

Is this just me?
Sandeep Kale - not rubbish   | 61.12.122.xxx | 2011-04-26 10:20:08
It was not rubbish I had done it for 16MB xml file. It splits file in 9MB s' 2 xml and also imported that file in my blog

WordPress WXR File Splitter really worked for me thanks for this
Ranger Pretzel   | Super Administrator | 2011-03-11 18:39:56
Hey Dave,
It's possible. I was only able to test the new version on a handful of WXR files. If you're interested in helping me out, please contact me thru the contact form of the site and I'll see what I can do to help you out.

Alternatively, you can try version 1.02 of this software. It's a bit slower and it splits by number of files desired (giving you arbitrary file sizes), but maybe it will work better for you.
Bill Forsyth, III - Thank you for an excellent too   | 184.56.81.xxx | 2011-04-11 09:45:20
You saved me a lot of manual work. My import file was only 4.? meg, but still choked on import.

I used your application to split it into 5 files. Files 4 & 5 were still too big, so I split those again into two file each and everything imported wonderfully.

Thanks again,
Bill

Hi!
Thanks for this amazing tool!
I used it and it seemed good:it took 16mb file and split it 8 X 2mb parts. when I uploaded the files, only half of them were uploaded. posts 55-128 weren't there...
Any suggestions? I don't know if the problem is with the creation of the sub-files or with the uploading process. Thanks. Ran
Ran - one more detail...   | 109.186.3.xxx | 2011-04-13 12:10:38
The file I was trying to import was an export file of an OLD version of wordpress (1.65) and the content is in HEBREW.
Thanks

Ran - Problems fixed   | 109.186.3.xxx | 2011-04-14 01:04:25
Hi!
Your tool is good and did amazing job!
The problems were with the exported file... The hosting server size and time defintions were too short... the export process was shut before it was finished... That is why I had only half of the posts.
The lesson: always double check if the backups and or exported files are good.
The software is great and saved me so much time. Thanks

Great idea, but regrettably it appears to be of no use to me as it stands. My file of 5MB splits into any number of 3,330KB files. It doesn't matter what size I specify, the split is always 3,330KB.
Ranger Pretzel   | Super Administrator | 2013-05-24 11:14:44
This can happen if one of your posts contains a lot of spam links in it. I've seen it in other users WXR files. A single post is multiple megabytes. The WXR splitter is unable to divide individual posts into smaller chunks. Your best bet is to manually open the WXR file and locate the oversized post and delete the spam links.

Hi,

I can pay $10 for this software, but can you answer one of my concern:

If I have a post, which linked to one attachment, can you make sure they will not be in different files after splitted? The reason is when these two items are in different WXR files, when I import into WP.com, the attachment cannot be migrated properly (i.e. the image url in the post body will not be updated, still using the old url)

I am trying to export/import just the latest posts from one WP blog to another and it would be great if your software could filter by date.

Blogger has no filter so I have to import the entire blog into a temporary WP blog. Then use the WP date filter when exporting. Then import the filtered file into the correct WP blog.
Mike - Attachments   | 198.217.64.xxx | 2012-07-27 11:49:52
The file splitter works well and I can import everything. The problem I have is that when the importer works properly the images are attached to the posts and the links to the images in the posts are linked to the new location, but neither is the case importing the multiple files.
I manually split the files before which was not fun.

Any reason you know of for this?

Thanks!
Ranger Pretzel   | Super Administrator | 2013-05-24 11:17:55
No, sorry. This tool was written in about a day to merely split up files. Operation of WordPress Import code itself is something I'm less familiar with.
Chris Parente   | 68.100.40.xxx | 2012-08-23 20:48:16
This was incredibly helpful, thank you! Still took multiple efforts to get WP to import even the much smaller files, but its done.

$1? I threw in $5, hope some others do too. Do you have any free tools to help me figure out how to edit the Suffusion theme? B)

I have used it to get all my posts over but even if I break the files down to .1MB once it WP's import tries to load the media files it cracks. A fin\ner setting might help me at least get all my photos over. That would only leave me the 30 or so podcasts to do manually.

Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image wi...

Hi there,

Firstly thanks for such a good program.
I am redesigning a new site using WP. The existing site is also using WP and i kinda 2 yrs old. There is tons of posts, tags and images.

So I had designed the new site on my mac locally usinf MAMP. All design work is done... Now the most imp. part was getting the data. I thought a simple export - import wud do the work... but i was wring :(

The exported XML file was 49MB in size.. and while importing locally also it crashed... and only half of the data got imported... :(

Now I will try splitting the XML file into many parts and then import. Hoping it goes well...!!

Only confusion is how can i delete the half imported data from my wordpress setup???
Craig - Worked Well   | 24.150.143.xxx | 2013-10-09 16:34:34
I used the splitter to break up a 75MB xml output file. I left the file size at 2MB and it took me about an hour to complete the uploading to my new WP site.

I would try the 8MB option, but there may be a next time for that.

Thanks- will donate! :cheer:

A suggestion: add the drag&drop support the xml directly on the program window to Open it.
