I have a WP site that I am going to re-build. It is just a mess.

Needless to say it's my last site on my crappy shared hosting.

When I try to download all the posts as XML - I get an empty file.

I try to download the DB - nothing.

Anyone have any sneaky tips for getting data out of WP? I can manually rebuild it but I'd prefer not to.

What version of Wordpress, both the xML and database should exist. And do you have at the bare minimum PhpMyAdmin on said shared host? If so you can do an export, select all the checkboxes, and make sure the checkbox for data on the right is included.
 
I got the full MySQL export fortunately - so I am going that route now.

Part of the problem is that it had 3000 or so posts and the PHPMyAdmin limit for files is about 8 meg - I am having to split stuff up.

Fortunately I know SQL so that's no problem - just boring as all hell.

Thanks by the way!
