• Hello,

    I just spend 1 day to experiment this error :

    Migration failed
    
    A problem occurred when attempting to process the following table (#113) wp_options
    
    Status: 500 Internal Server Error
    
    Response:

    For me, it looks like a corrupted table but all infos in my server / phpmyadmin etc. stay the DB is OK, and I can dump any table of my DB.

    Finally, I have check all my wp_options fields one by one to find the culprit.

    I found the « corrupted field » ! Or the field which contained the illegal character.

    I read it, but I cannot find which kind of character can make the problem so, I give you the MySQL export for further investigation : https://www.mister-wp.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/corrupted-field-sql.zip

    If you import this field in wp_options you will not be able anymore to use search and replace export with :

    – Better Search and Replace
    – WP Migrate DB
    – Search and Replace for WordPress Databases Script by interconnectit

    So no more solution to migrate a WP website.

    It’s not stable to need one day (or more) when you need to migrate a website. It could be nice to find a way to detect quickly the wrong characters.

    My server run mysql throught MariaDB.

    Thanks.

  • Nicolas, I’m running into this same issue after some server updates. Finding odd symptoms & results, like if I disable all plugins except wp migrate pro, I can export the db. Seems unlikely in this case that it’s corrupted data. Did you ever figure out what the issue was for you?

    I have the same problem, i just uninstall di woocommerce plugin and that’s all
