I have a blog on wordpress.com and I want to move it over to my private hosting. I have just attempted this and for some reason the export feature provided by Wordpress.com only exported posts from 2010, I did check all dates when asked. Also all of the posts text seems to be in the title and not separated. Is there something I am missing or will I have to edit every post by hand?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Ensure you are exporting in the wordpress format, and also, try exporting a batch at a time (like a month per file). As the files may break, with extreamly large blogs.

I just wrote a long and detailed question and when I was about to submit it, I fixed the problem by myself. The problem did cost me about 5 hours and now I will just post this little explanation, so maybe it helps others and they will not feel as stupid as I do right now.
In my defense: I do not have that much experience with this system.
What was the Problem? When did it show up?
Before I change a file on the server, I always duplicate it and change the file name to originalFileName_yyyymmdd_hhmm.php (filename + date + time). I want to keep track of the changes, and when we launch the website, I wanted to do a local backup and then delete them from the server.
Let's say, in the folder of the active theme there is a file called home.php.
It is a template file, which means that you can select it as a template for a page when editing it in the backend of WordPress.
I duplicated it and called the new file home_20180301_2300.php.
Then I edited the home.php, but the changes were not displayed on the website.
I checked for any known cache issue, but that was not the problem. So I installed a debugging plugin (Template Debugger) to see which files are used by the server to create the website.
Wordpress used the home_20180301_2300.php instead of the home.php and I did not know why. When I deleted home_20180301_2300.php WordPress did NOT use home.php It just took the standard template instead.
What I think what happened
In the last moment before submitting this question I realized what happened:
In the process of working, there was a situation where I deleted the home.php and then edited the page in the backend. WordPress could not find the home.php, which was set as the template for this page. BUT it found home_20180301_2300.php and used it. (Because WordPress is smart [sometimes {not a joke}]). When home.php was back in its place, WordPress did not care. It looks like as long as there is no problem, WordPress does not search for other (or newer, or better suiting) files. It still used home_20180301_2300.php, because it worked. That's why my changes in home.php did not have any effect. home.php was ignored.
The Solution
I had to delete home_20180301_2300.php, open the page in edit mode and select home.php as the template again. WordPress did not find home_20180301_2300.php, "BUT HEY! There is home.php, my old friend, so I can use it", WordPress said and they happily lived together for the rest of their time.
Feel free to comment!
I am sure my explanation is quite simple and not showing the whole picture. If anyone knows better, I would be glad to hear it. Better knowledge of the problem and the way WordPress works can help me and others to better understand future issues.
Peace out,

I got this kind of URL in my site: /preinscripcion/231, the number is the code of a course and it is self generated by my CRM, the problem comes when I want to see to which course the person is trying to register, I have an excel with this codes but it is too demanding and cumbersome as I already have hundreds of courses, I've tried with advanced filters to change my code with the name of the course, but I can only make up to 100 filters.
¿Is there a way of doing it?
It does not have to be on analytics itself, my site is made under wordpress http://formarte.edu.co/
Thanks in advance for all of your help.
I have a requirement to write a program in Java to retrieve all the posts from all the wordpress sites containing a keyword(s).
This is how I approached the problem. I initially thought I would crawl the wordpress sites looking for the keywords I am interested in. But I realized if there is an endpoint for wordpress search, it makes my job a lot easier. So I have looked around to see if there is any search endpoint to submit queries and get the links for the posts.
All I found is just http://wwww.en.search.wordpress.com. I can still tweak the url and get some links. But
I like to know if there is any better way to handle this problem
The search link I posted is for the users and it might be limiting my search results since I query it through a program
Also I like to retrieve posts from the given date range. I am not sure if this is possible with my approach.
Appreciate any help in this regard. Thank you.
How about this approach:
Assuming you don't need to go back to the history and scrap all the data I would just stick to tags
http://en.wordpress.com/tags/
I would crawl it every day get the most popular tags (by font size) then on each tag get the articles published in the past 24 hours
On each post get all the comments and search for your keywords
Would that work? if not please share more details
Good luck
I love Disqus but it doesn't work with the current theme I'm using (Thesis 1.8) and therefore need to part ways. Does anyone know how to export my comments out of Disqus and into Wordpress? I have been unable to make this happen even after using the Disqus Comment Importer Plugin. Looks like others are having issues as well: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/pl... Thanks in advance for any help.
Do you have the legal right to do so?
I didn't read Disqus Terms and Policies (tl;dr) or obviously the contract you accepted when you signed in to their service, but by "importing" comments, you're in fact copying text written by others on Disqus website, not on your website!
Disqus obviously let you display these comments (that's the point of their service) but copying them, I wonder? That would be copyright infringement of author texts and/or Disqus otherwise authorized.
I have never used Disqus myself but you said they have an export to XML. I myself would check and see if it has a post id so you can see what post/article the comment belongs to. IF it does (it should) then I would write a simple PHP script that will read the XML file and do the processing then add to the wordpress MySQL database
