# Increase plugin 2hour timeout limit

 * I have a joomla db with around 7,000 articles which were successfully imported
   in free plugin. I purchased this plugin to export more. But now it hangs after
   2,200 articles and about 10,000 media files, which cause me to clear the db and
   start the process again. Is there a way i can increase the plugin auto timeout
   to maybe 10 or 20 hour’s as there is a lot of data to import.
    Thanks in advance.

 * If the process hangs, you don’t need to clear the db and start the process again.
   You just need to resume the import.
    In admin/class-fg-joomla-to-wordpress-admin.
   php in the dispatch function, you can change the value of set_time_limit() to
   whatever you want (in seconds).
