Import fails

    I am trying to import a site exported by a colleague to a fresh install of WordPress. The install only has this plugin, and only the base themes. WP 6.8.2 all-in-one wp migration plugin latest version.

    I have set the following PHP variables:

    max_execution_time = 4800
    max_input_time = 3000
    max_input_vars = 4000
    memory_limit = 4096M
    post_max_size = 8000M
    max_file_uploads = 8000M
    output_buffering = 4096

    This is on my local dev machine so it can easily handle the import, and the variables set. When I choose import from file and choose the export created (3.73GB file) it runs through the import fine, the status bar reaches 100% but then gives an Import Failed error with the following text: “Your file exceeds the upload limit set by your host web server. Our Unlimited Extension bypasses this! If you prefer a manual fix, follow our step-by-step guide on raising your upload limit.”

    Clearly the limits are set high enough, and the file appears to import fine. Any idea what is going on here?

    It is exactly as the message says “The upload limit set by your web server is less than the file you are uploading”.

    So clearly you didn’t read the message, which is cool. Never mind I went a different route to get it done. (which handled the upload fine)

    I did read your message. The plugin is working as expected. The error message is accurate, the file exceeds the upload limit enforced by the web server.

    The error message is NOT accurate. The web server is local and handled the upload fine, it failed with that message AFTER the upload was complete.

    The progress bar shows that your browser finished sending the file, but the server rejected it because it was larger than the upload limit. That’s why you see the error message at the very end. The plugin is reporting this correctly.
