In WordPress go to Tools and click Export.....
Choose All content and download the export file...
When you click the button Download WordPress will create an XML file to save to your computer.

This format, also termed as eXtended RSS or WXR, which will contain all posts, pages, comments, custom fields, categories, and tags.

CPU Limit Self Hosted Wordpress on Shared Hosting

I moved from blogger to self hosted wordpress on shared hosting. It was unlimited disk space and bandwidth. It was very good for couple of months.

Suddenly one day I got warning from my hosting "your CPU limit exceeded"if this continues we will stop service. I was surprised to see this. unlimited disk space and bandwidth, still I got this warning why?? then I googled and found the answer. people often see only disk space and bandwidth, but there is one more important element i.e CPU LIMIT.


CPU limit depends upon number of users online at a time. it means the site can get a lot of viewers but they shouldn't be online at a time. for example daily views of your site is 1000/day, but the number of views/viewers online at a time should not exceed 10 or 20 or other number depending upon hosting service.

so, is it possible to control the number of viewers ONLINE at a time?? NO.

Again I moved back to blogger.

BEFORE MOVING BACK FROM WORDPRESS TO BLOGGER WE HAVE TO DO ONE THING SO THAT WE WON'T LOSS THE TRAFFIC.

that I will post next...

// if ( $comment_author_email )
// $dupe .= "OR comment_author_email = '$comment_author_email' ";
