 * Hi there, is any built-in way to automatically resume the import when it fails
   in the middle of the process?
 * We have an import that takes 10 hours to complete and it typically fails 2-3 
   times throughout the process even after following a bunch of the troubleshooting
   steps. We’re guessing that it’s just due to server hiccups and that there’s not
   much else can do to prevent it without switching hosts.
 * Manually resuming the process fixes it, but we don’t always catch it right when
   it happens so sometimes the whole process ends up taking an extra hour or two
   if we aren’t checking it constantly.
 * A simple “retry up to X times per failure” feature that automatically clicks 
   the retry button (or does it server-side) would be extremely helpful for long
   imports like this. Is there anything like that in the plugin currently?

 * Hi [@sitebolts](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sitebolts/),
 * Unfortunately, the free version of our plugin doesn’t currently have any way 
   to auto-retry a failed import.
 * Have you tried following our optimization guide to speed up and stabilize the
   import? You can find that here: [https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/speed-optimizations/](https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/speed-optimizations/).
