hi, friday I imported about 14k articles from a XML feed using Wp all Import plugin (it took 3/4 hours), after that I cound't enter to admin area because of a "memory allocation error" I could solved only removing some thousands of articles, however front-end side worked fine for visitors.

Is there some hint, trick or plugin that can avoid me to get memory allocation error? Why front-end was Ok and admin-end not?
Thanks for help.
 
Ask your hosting to upgrade your PHP memory limit to 64mb. That will solve your issue.
 
I set it up to 2048M, yesterday I did the same and today admin shows a blank page, better than a "memory allocation error"...
 
Don't forget to restart your server.
 
Hi, i restart it but blank admin page still loads...193MB of db, 100k posts, it shouldn't be a problem for WP and a dedi server

there is a simple solution. export your database. install wordpress on your computer and use your plugin. after you have done that. then export the whole sql file to your server.

hope it helps.

or install wp into a subdomain/folder and move it or allocate it in httpd.config in your main domain
 
wp is not good to handle such big files, but anyways this is fault of RAM on your server. propably shared is too small for it.
 
...and why not simply split that XML file into few smaller ones?

this should be a great solution, however the best feature of wp allimport is importing data from external URL, in this case a Tradedoubler merchant feed, this is what I did
