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 {"id":1939,"date":"2023-04-06T21:52:41","date_gmt":"2023-04-06T21:52:41","guid":{"rendered":"https:\/\/www.geekytech.org\/?p=1939"},"modified":"2024-02-19T00:48:40","modified_gmt":"2024-02-19T00:48:40","slug":"whatsapp-alternative","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/www.geekytech.org\/whatsapp-alternative\/","title":{"rendered":"Top 10 WhatsApp Alternative Apps In 2024"},"content":{"rendered":"
WhatsApp Messenger, which is owned by Facebook, is the most popular messaging app on the globe. To stay at the top, the firm launches new features on a regular basis. However, not everyone appears to be satisfied with WhatsApp. WhatsApp’s privacy policy was recently amended to explain how it manages your data across Facebook’s family of applications and businesses. The policy states unequivocally that the corporation gathers a massive amount of telemetry data from your device. Then there’s the fact that everyone nowadays uses WhatsApp, so we can’t blame you if you find it a bit too obnoxious. So, if you’re looking for a more personal or secure messaging software, here are the 10 best WhatsApp alternatives you can use in 2024.<\/p>\n
In this post, we discussed applications that prioritize privacy as well as features. You may browse the whole list of WhatsApp alternative applications by using the table of contents below, which you can use to go to any app you like.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Telegram Messenger has always been regarded as the best WhatsApp rival, and this has not changed. The open-source chat program is still the best WhatsApp substitute available. Along with the standard messaging features that both WhatsApp and Telegram provide, the latter adds features such as super groups of up to 100,000 people, public channels, usernames, the ability to share files up to 2 GB in size, pass code lock, self-destructing messages, and end-to-end encryption in secret chat, among others.<\/p>\n
Availability<\/strong>: Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows, macOS, Linux, Web (Free<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Signal Foundation, which provides the end-to-end encryption technology in WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, has its own chat software called Signal Private Messenger. When compared to WhatsApp, Signal offers a lot of security advantages. It includes self-destructing messages, screen security (which prohibits anybody from capturing screenshots), and other features.<\/p>\n Availability:<\/strong>\u00a0Android, iOS (Free<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Discord is more than simply a place to talk with other players. While you may browse a number of Discord servers to interact with your hobbies, many people ignore Discord’s DM capabilities. You may send messages, emoticons, emotes (if you have Discord Nitro), GIFs, photos, and even documents using Discord’s personal communications function. Furthermore, after sharing your screen, you may conduct phone calls, video calls, or even browse together.<\/p>\n Availability:<\/strong> Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, Web (Free<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the primary issues with online messaging programs such as WhatsApp is that they require an internet connection to function. Even typical text messaging applications will not operate if you are camping in the woods. This is where offline texting applications come in. These apps do not need a cell network or an internet connection to function.<\/p>\n Install:<\/strong>\u00a0Android (free<\/a>), iOS (free<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kik is a wonderful messaging app for people who don’t want to give their phone number to use a messaging app. While certain chat services, such as WhatsApp, require users to provide their phone number, I know many people who feel uncomfortable providing their personal phone numbers with these platforms.<\/p>\n Availability:<\/strong> Android, iOS (Free<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n While Snapchat is technically a social networking app rather than a messaging app, I am increasingly using it as a messaging app due to its unique features that no other messaging service can provide. For example, I can send messages that self-destruct after a certain amount of time. It also alerts me when someone screenshots my conversations with them. Finally, it has the best face mask selection of any app I’ve ever used, making this app enjoyable to use.<\/p>\n Availability:<\/strong> Android, iOS (Free<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Skype is without a doubt one of the market’s best business chat solutions. With Microsoft’s backing, Skype has left all other corporate chat programs in the dust. However, Skype’s advancement has worked against it when it comes to personal chats, since the business appellation it has garnered pushes typical users away. But, let me tell you, Skype is one of the best talking apps on the market, particularly if you make a lot of video and phone conversations.<\/p>\n Availability:<\/strong> Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Web (Free<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Keybase is a secure chat program that is open source and ideal for users who wish to connect securely. Because this is an open-source tool, no private entity is looking at all of your data. In any case, the data is end-to-end encrypted, so the message is never exposed to malicious actors.<\/p>\n Availability:<\/strong> Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, and Windows (Free<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Viber is another popular messaging and VoIP software that may compete with WhatsApp in terms of functionality. To begin, the app provides end-to-end encryption in conversations, texts, and shared material. Furthermore, communications stored across several devices are encrypted, which leads us to the fact that the messaging applications provide multi-device functionality, which WhatsApp does not.<\/p>\n2.
