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. -- [Support Article: Importing Content](https://wordpress.org/support/article/importing-content/#before-importing) == 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 Bad Taste | AquaCheck Water Conditioning

Bad Taste

The water smells like rotten eggs! And, it has a funky taste!

It is not uncommon for water systems to develop a foul ‘rotten egg’ smell as well as a corresponding poor taste. In many cases, this is caused by the presence of hydrogen sulfide, H2S. Sulfate-reducing bacteria can create this unpleasant odor. During the initial water testing, AquaCheck Water will check to see if sulfates are present in the water. Surprisingly, sulfate-reducting bacteria can build up in your water heater creating a slime which produces a smelly gas. The good news is that there are ways to address this issue. In general, addressing the sulfate at the source or at the point when it enters the home is the best scenario. Remove the sulfate, then you won’t have bacteria to create the smell.

How do we deal with a smelly water heater?

If smell can be isolated to the hot water side of the water system, we have options to address the problem in the water heater. In order for this smell to exist, H2S must be created by having hydrogen available to match up with the Sulfates. If the water contains sulfates, then we have the possibility for sulfur-reducing bacteria to develop. Oddly, a tank style water heater with a sacrificial anode (for corrosion resistance) is a very appealing environment for these bacteria.

Addressing Water Heater Smells: Understanding the Cause and Solutions

These anodes work so well that in some cases with create enough potential between the anode and the surrounding metal tank that the hydrogen can be separated from the water. The bacteria can then take this available hydrogen along with sulfates and bicarbonates already in the water and reduce them to H2S. Its the bacterias food and this creates your rotten egg smell! Unfortunately, the water heater may need replacement to remedy the situation. If the water heater is relatively new, under 6 months, replacement of the anode with a Power Anode with a good flush of the water heater may fix the situation. Power Anodes operate differently that the typical sacraficial anode and do not provide the environment for the bacteria. The other alternative is to replace the water heater with a tankless water heater which does not need an anode.
In short, smelling water can be fixed when there is a good understanding of what is creating the smell. Contact AquaCheck today to find out more information!! (346) 777-0539

Fed up with Bad-Tasting Water?

Discover The Perfect Solution With A Water Softener And Filter

If you’re tired of unpleasant tastes in your water, there’s no need to settle for less. You can transform your water into a refreshing and enjoyable beverage by utilizing the combined power of a water softener and filter.

A water softener addresses the underlying cause of many taste issues by removing minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, that can affect the flavor of your water. By reducing these taste-altering elements, a water softener helps deliver water that tastes cleaner and purer.
