ChoppedPress¶
Introduction¶
ChoppedPress lets you split the WordPress XML export file into smaller files that can be used to import your posts, comments, tags and categories into a new WordPress installation.
Examples¶
Assuming you have already gone throught the process of exporting all of your posts, comments and tags into a file named my-blog-YEAR-MONTH-DATE.xml, you could then split it into several smaller XML files using the following command:
choppedpress my-exported-wordpress.xml
This will generate two (this is the default) XML files named out01.xml and out02.xml. The name of the generated files and/or how many files to generate can be specified by using the appropriate flags as show by choppedpress –help.
Usage: choppedpress <INFILE> [[<OUTFILE>] [<TAG>] [<NUMBER>]]
ChoppedPress lets you split the WordPress XML export file into smaller files that can be used to import your posts, comments, tags and categories into a new WordPress installation.
- Options:
--version show program’s version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit -i <FILE>, --infile=<FILE> The XML file generated by WordPress -o <FILE>, --outfile=<FILE> The name for the smaller XML files. [default: out] -t TAG, --tag=TAG The XML tag that represents your data. [default: /rss/channel/item] -n NUMBER, --number=NUMBER How many new files should be generated. [default: 2]
