 * Hello
   I installed Seopress and I started the setup. The migration from AIOSEO(
   which is still enabled) always stop and never complete, sometime it stops at 
   5% sometime at 17% sometime at 92% , it never completes , I tried counteless 
   times. Can I run the migrate from console so I can debug the problem, or are 
   there alternatives ?I suppose now (with the migration failed multiple times) 
   there is something broken in my WP, should I do a full restore backup only only
   wp_post database is enough ?
 * Thank you

 * Hi,
 * please enable WP_DEBUG by following this guide:
 * [https://www.seopress.org/support/guides/wp_debug-enable-error-logging-in-wordpress/](https://www.seopress.org/support/guides/wp_debug-enable-error-logging-in-wordpress/)
 * Then run again the migration.
 * Once the process is blocked, check the error from the debug.log file.

 * Hello
 * no thanks , migration messed up everything and I needed to restore all site from
   backup, 
   you can report me when it’s fixed and I will try again. Very bad experience
   by the way, I will stay with AIOSEO.Graziano

 * I think you should provide a WP console mode with integrated debug.

 * do you think this will work (Claude idea) ?
 * wp eval “
   \$aio = new SEOPress\Actions\Admin\Importer\AIO();echo ‘Migrazione 
   Impostazioni Globali… ‘;\$aio->migrateSettings();echo ‘OK!’ . PHP_EOL;
 * global \$wpdb;
   \$total = (int) \$wpdb->get_var(\”SELECT count(*) FROM \$wpdb-
   >posts\”);\$increment = 500;\$offset = 0;
 * echo ‘Migrazione Metadati Post (Totale: ‘ . \$total . ‘)…’ . PHP_EOL;
 * while (\$offset < \$total) { \$aio->migratePostQuery(\$offset, \$increment);
   \
   $offset += \$increment;echo ‘Migrati ‘ . min(\$offset, \$total) . ‘ / ‘ . \$total.‘…’.
   PHP_EOL;}echo ‘Migrated’;”

 * Did you consider to use the AIOSEO export settings (it’s a file) instead of migrate
   option ?

 * Hi,
 * Running the migration directly on the database is much more efficient than using
   a file.
 * We do offer metadata import via CSV with the PRO version, but that serves a different
   purpose.
 * Regarding your issue, it appears to be related to a server limitation.
 * Could you let us know approximately how many posts, pages, and custom post types
   your site has?
 * Also, please go to **Tools, Site Health, Info tab, Server** and share your server
   configuration with us.
 * Finally, using the debug.log would be very useful to quickly understand the issue(
   I guess it’s related a memory limit).
