As you can see, I import from an RSS file sometimes into installations of WordPress. Default PHP installations limit your maximum filed upload size to 2MB. Even if you increase this setting in your php .ini file, the WordPress mechanism will not import a much larger file.

I recommend limiting file sizer to about 1.5 MB.

This way, you will not lose any posts that you are trying to import. It seems to break around 950 – 980 posts. It’s happened multiple times, even though if you increase you PHP upload file maximum limit to 20 MB or more, and the tool report this setting in the administration &raguo; import area, the import WILL FAIL.

So for people that have went to all the trouble to create a program to create RSS to import into WordPress, be sure to keep the file size below 2MB.
