Nothing springs to mind. If you deactivate and uninstall that plugin it should get rid of it though.

I created a Popular Posts widget on my local copy and now I can’t get rid of it. Even if I drag all the widgets out so there are none left in the sidebar widget sections the Popular Posts widget remains active.

Can you think of why this might be happening in my local copy?

[...] At the very least you want to be sure you are backing up your WordPress blog, but from time to time you should also test your backups to make sure they can be used for a restore. You could install a second blog in a subfolder of your web hosting account for this, or use a local install of WordPress. [...]

After finished the installation, I also encountered the same problem on file size. The xml file I exported from my blog is ~3.6MB while wordpress file size limit is 2MB. After searching the wordpress forum, I found this posting: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/255018?replies=3
I went to the link listed there, then created an .htaccess file, set the maxsize to 48MB, placed it in my root directory and it works fine. All my files were imported to my test site without any problem.
Thanks for your tutorial, Paul.

The file size limit is 2mb and I’m afraid I don’t know any way to get bigger files to import.

However if you just want *some* content imported rather than that *exact* content you could use this sample content file instead.

I followed your instructions, and they were very clear. But when I tried to import my blog, it wouldn’t let me. It seems that the file is too big. Is there another way?

Thanks.
