It would be really awesome if, when paging through a wxr file, WordPress would print specific errors instead of just "failed to import post".

If you're a WordPress plugin developer, and you add invalid hrefs via JS to your UI, thus making it impossible to click an item while using a keyboard, I hate you so much right now. Learn HTML FFS because honestly having to try to hack around problems exacerbated by inaccessibility is getting fucking old. No love: me.

All right so I'll need to do some cowboy coding on the old box, but I'll save that for later I think because it isn't true cowboy coding unless there are drinks involved, and honestly at this point the worst that can happen is I do not achieve a successful migration. Which is where we're at now anyway so I'll just pour myself a drink later on and do this.

Right about now I'm incredibly glad I keep a code stash, because I just found a snippet that will let me export posts according to taxonomy, custom or otherwise.

OK. I will need to come up with plan I've lost count, but for now at least I have backups of everything that I can hopefully eventually restore. I think I still need to install Composer on the new box, and WPCli has saved at least some of it.

Get in #fedizens we're doing Monday. I hope everyone had a good weekend. This site migration is not going well, 0 stars, do not recommend, mostly because php keeps choking on the WordPress import file. I think I've given php as much memory as can safely be afforded. Oh well I'll keep fiddling with it.
