 * Hello [@ouamboh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ouamboh/) ,
 * Like the log states:
 * [ERROR] [2023-07-31 23:11:21] Error message: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds
   exceeded
   [ERROR] [2023-07-31 23:11:21] Probably we could not increase the execution
   time, please edit your php.ini manually
 * Apart from that, Please follow these steps on the site where you experienced 
   this error:
    1. Go to “Other options” section
    2. Disable PHP CLI checking: [https://prnt.sc/1sljr31](https://prnt.sc/1sljr31)
    3. Save “Other options” section
    4. Force stop both processes: [https://prnt.sc/1trv1tm](https://prnt.sc/1trv1tm)
 * Once you do that, try to run your migration process using the same URL or file.
 * Let me know if that worked for you 🙂
   Thank you!
