## Wopisanje

The WordPress Importer will import the following content from a WordPress export
file:

 * Posts, pages and other custom post types
 * Comments and comment meta
 * Custom fields and post meta
 * Categories, tags and terms from custom taxonomies and term meta
 * Authors

For further information and instructions please see the [documention on Importing Content](https://wordpress.org/support/article/importing-content/#wordpress).

### 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

## Instalacija

The quickest method for installing the importer is:

 1. Visit Tools -> Import in the WordPress dashboard
 2. Click on the WordPress link in the list of importers
 3. Click „Install Now“
 4. Finally click „Activate Plugin & Run Importer“

If you would prefer to do things manually then follow these instructions:

 1. Upload the `wordpress-importer` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ menu in WordPress
 3. Go to the Tools -> Import screen, click on WordPress

## HSP

### Help! 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.
