 * Hi!
 * I downloaded the plugin because I imported more than 170.000 posts and I really
   need to rebuild the permalinks for all of them before going live.
 * Of course, it takes time, but the script breaks after 30 seconds. What should
   I do?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * Be sure that you allow enough memory for script and the timeout limit is -1 (
   infinite ).
 * The plugin is not prepared for 100k+ posts, maybe in the near future I will add
   some filters or limits for the regeneration.
 * Best Regards.

 * I added
 * `ini_set("max_execution_time", "300");` on line 22 in `regenerate-post-permalink.
   php` to work around the limitation. It worked perfectly.
 * Thanks!

 * So 5 minutes were enough. If you have a lot of posts you might increase execution
   time and memory limit.
