I exported a blog from my MU install today, and when I tried to import it again (I wanted to change the author on a lot of posts), it stopped!

The XML file was 3.5MB, and WordPressµ said that it could only import files up to 1500KB….

Well, the quick fix was to gZip the file, down to 635KB, then it imported just fine. Although it did not say anywhere that the importer accepted gZip’ed files, I noticed that there was a function in the wordpress.php file that checked for gZip library, so I had to try
But that’s a feature that should be documented or at least mentioned on the import page. The best thing would of course to make it an option for site admins to set for their own site. I can’t remember that this is a limit with standalone WordPress?

I’ve updated the Graceful Fail/Custom Error plugin for WordPressµ. It’s just a small update that lets you choose either a 404 or a 410 status header.

You can, for obvious reasons, just use one status at the time
