[jgmac1106] darn, my import WordPress to Known fails every time.....might have to just archive my site

# 
[cleverdevil] [jgmac1106] if its failing, try and see if you can capture the errors or logs of what is going on, and open a ticket.
# [jgmac1106] Not sure how, need to find logs. Only Messi I got was to contact system administrator. I sent myself a message
# [jgmac1106] Message*
# [cleverdevil] Where are you hosting?
# [cleverdevil] You'll likely need to look at the PHP logs.
# [cleverdevil] (Perhaps the web server logs, depending on how things are configured).

# [jgmac1106] Okay will do... I never thought it would work tbh.. Importing 2.5 gigs of posts and media...
# [cleverdevil] Yeah, that's huge 🙂
# [cleverdevil] I am sure it can be made to work, but you'll likely encounter a few issues./
# [cleverdevil] We'll have to chip through them one by one.

# 
[kevinmarks] Probably out of memory? Can you break it into chunks
# [jgmac1106] Also worried about the xml from post kind plug ins. Will try to shrink import type by type and see what happens
# [jgmac1106] Will note php logs
# [cleverdevil] That’s my guess too [kevinmarks]. Most environments are configured with very low memory limits for PHP.
# [kevinmarks] I have seen this with WordPress imports in the past too - it was both memory and some O(n^2) code with the number of posts imported

# [jgmac1106] Thank you both gentlemen. I will experiment

# [kevinmarks] Does known allow date setting in micropub now? Another answer might be to post them as micropub.

# [jgmac1106] [kevinmarks] At this point I might just use your strategy and archive the blog and just point or quote articles back to it. I have so many rando subdomains I should just think long term of some universal search, but for now redirects to an archived subdomain I think is way to go too many moving parts.

# [cleverdevil] Yes it does, [kevinmarks], thanks to me 😉
# [cleverdevil] I added that so that I could migrate my content from Facebook and my old websites.
# [kevinmarks] Splendid.
# [kevinmarks] If the blog is not likely to update often, static is good.
# [kevinmarks] Spiderpig is good if you want identical urls; I have some related tools to make the urls relative if that is needed, but the need tidying up.

# [jgmac1106] interesting [cleverdevil] but now I want to take care of my facebook data first
# [jgmac1106] migration as a micropub client. There is a service the world needs.
