Font attachments regenerate this meta locally, and the imported value pointed at a file path from the source site. * Prefix bundled vendor namespaces (`Rowbot\URL`, `Brick\Math`, `Psr\Log`, and others) with `VendorPrefix\` to avoid class redefinition errors when another plugin bundles the same libraries. * Add a Live Preview blueprint so the plugin can be tried in WordPress Playground from the plugin directory page. * Code refactoring: extract single-post processing into a separate process_post() method, continuing the streaming preparation work. = 0.9.5 = * Rewrite CSS URLs in block markup (e.g., cover blocks with background images). * Code refactoring: Extract import processing logic into separate methods to prepare for future streaming support. * Update Playwright and @playwright/test dependencies from 1.55.0 to 1.56.1. * Clean up vendor-patched dependencies by removing dotfiles and GitHub workflow files. = 0.9.4 = * Fix a bug that caused self-closing blocks to be incorrectly serialized during URL rewriting. = 0.9.3 = * Rewrite attachment URLs to the new URL structure = 0.9.2 = * Rewrite site URLs in block attributes. = 0.9.1 = * Add support for rewriting site URLs in post content and excerpts. = 0.9.0 = * Introduce a new XML parser class `WXR_Parser_XML_Processor` that replaces the deprecated `WXR_Parser_Regex` class. = 0.8.4 = * Fix a bug on deserialization of untrusted input. * Update compatibility tested-up-to to WordPress 6.7.2. = 0.8.3 = * Update compatibility tested-up-to to WordPress 6.7. * Update call to `post_exists` to include `post_type` in the query * PHP 8.4 compatibility fixes. = 0.8.2 = * Update compatibility tested-up-to to WordPress 6.4.2. * Update doc URL references. * Adjust workflow triggers. = 0.8.1 = * Update compatibility tested-up-to to WordPress 6.2. * Update paths to build status badges. = 0.8 = * Update minimum WordPress requirement to 5.2. * Update minimum PHP requirement to 5.6. * Update compatibility tested-up-to to WordPress 6.1. * PHP 8.0, 8.1, and 8.2 compatibility fixes. * Fix a bug causing blank lines in content to be ignored when using the Regex Parser. * Fix a bug resulting in a PHP fatal error when IMPORT_DEBUG is enabled and a category creation error occurs. * Improved Unit testing & automated testing. = 0.7 = * Update minimum WordPress requirement to 3.7 and ensure compatibility with PHP 7.4. * Fix bug that caused not importing term meta. * Fix bug that caused slashes to be stripped from imported meta data. * Fix bug that prevented import of serialized meta data. * Fix file size check after download of remote files with HTTP compression enabled. * Improve accessibility of form fields by adding missing labels. * Improve imports for remote file URLs without name and/or extension. * Add support for `wp:base_blog_url` field to allow importing multiple files with WP-CLI. * Add support for term meta parsing when using the regular expressions or XML parser. * Developers: All PHP classes have been moved into their own files. * Developers: Allow to change `IMPORT_DEBUG` via `wp-config.php` and change default value to the value of `WP_DEBUG`. = 0.6.4 = * Improve PHP7 compatibility. * Fix bug that caused slashes to be stripped from imported comments. * Fix for various deprecation notices including `wp_get_http()` and `screen_icon()`. * Fix for importing export files with multiline term meta data. = 0.6.3 = * Add support for import term metadata. * Fix bug that caused slashes to be stripped from imported content. * Fix bug that caused characters to be stripped inside of CDATA in some cases. * Fix PHP notices. = 0.6.2 = * Add `wp_import_existing_post` filter, see [Trac ticket #33721](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/33721). = 0.6 = * Support for WXR 1.2 and multiple CDATA sections * Post aren't duplicates if their post_type's are different = 0.5.2 = * Double check that the uploaded export file exists before processing it.

I'm getting out of memory errors or a blank screen. = If your exported file is very large, the import script may run into your host's configured memory limit for PHP. A message like "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted" indicates that the script can't successfully import your XML file under the current PHP memory limit. If you have access to the php.ini file, you can manually increase the limit; if you do not (your WordPress installation is hosted on a shared server, for instance), you might have to break your exported XML file into several smaller pieces and run the import script one at a time. For those with shared hosting, the best alternative may be to consult hosting support to determine the safest approach for running the import. A host may be willing to temporarily lift the memory limit and/or run the process directly from their end. -- [Support Article: Importing Content](https://wordpress.org/support/article/importing-content/#before-importing) == Filters == The importer has a couple of filters to allow you to completely enable/block certain features: * `import_allow_create_users`: return false if you only want to allow mapping to existing users * `import_allow_fetch_attachments`: return false if you do not wish to allow importing and downloading of attachments * `import_attachment_size_limit`: return an integer value for the maximum file size in bytes to save (default is 0, which is unlimited) There are also a few actions available to hook into: * `import_start`: occurs after the export file has been uploaded and author import settings have been chosen * `import_end`: called after the last output from the importer National Birdshow
