# Import Error

 * I have been struggling to import a site for a client.
 * The previous agency gave me this file and said I must use the All-In-One WP Migration
   tool. I added the plugin and had to raise my upload cap to 3GB.
 * Even now I still cannot get it to upload and get the error shown in the screenshot.
   It says it exceeds the limit but it does not. the file properties are only 1.36
   GB. My cap on the site and the host is at 3GB. so why the continued error?

 * Hi Bryan,
 * I hope you are well.
    There are layers that the plugin cannot see. These layers
   happen before the file even reaches the PHP server and WordPress. I created this
   gif animation to illustrate the layers and that each of them can block the upload
   due to limits or restrictions. Please take a moment to see it here: [https://help.servmask.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/upload-pathway.gif](https://help.servmask.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/upload-pathway.gif)

 * I have the same problem with a local dev environment using Laragon.
   Trying to
   import a site for a client to do some development work using a file they created
   using your plugin. The file is only 1.1G and I have my upload limit set to 4G(
   which your plugin correctly shows on the import page). I also cranked up my post
   max size, memory limit, and anything else that might affect. Your plugin shows
   the progress bar as it “imports” the file, and then gives the message that it
   exceeds the upload limit size, which is false. Seems like something coded in 
   your plugin to try to sell the pro version rather than anything having to do 
   with the server. There is no firewall or mod security of other things you show
   in your .gif animation. This is a simple local dev environment, and I have no
   such issues uploading very large files with other plugins.

 * Also, copying the file into your backups directory and attempting to restore 
   backup also wants you to purchase the pro version. Just a money grab, severely
   limiting functionality.

 * Hi [@dbar-productions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dbar-productions/).
   I hope you are well.
 * The plugin is open source, and you are welcome to inspect the code on WordPress.
   org to verify that there is no artificial restriction. The free version has no
   hidden upload size cap.
 * As a quick test: try uploading this same file through WordPress Media Library(
   Media > Add New). If it also fails, that confirms the issue is in your environment
   and not in our plugin.
