 * Whenever I initiate the migration, it gets stuck at 6% (after moving 88 posts
   and all categories from my Joomla website). How can I know the reason for it 
   getting stuck?

 * It may be due to a memory full or a timeout on your server.
 * Please use our recommended settings during the migration.
    The recommended php.
   ini settings are:
 * max_execution_time=3600
    max_input_time=3600 memory_limit=1G post_max_size=1G
   upload_max_filesize=2G
 * also please add:
    define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘1024M’); in your wp-config.php file
   to increase the memory allowed by WordPress.
 * If you are on a shared host, you can’t modify the php.ini file. Another solution
   is to install WordPress on your local computer and run the import in local. In
   this case, you won’t have the limitations of the shared host. Here is the procedure:

 * In any case, if you click again on the import button, it will resume the import
   where it left off.

 * Thanks for your reply. I already modified php.ini in my shared hosting, check
   this link showing a dump of phpinfo():

 * Did you try to run the migration in local? Here is the procedure: [https://www.fredericgilles.net/support/kb/faq.php?id=30](https://www.fredericgilles.net/support/kb/faq.php?id=30)
 * If the problem still persists, please open a ticket on [https://www.fredericgilles.net/support/](https://www.fredericgilles.net/support/)
   and provide your Joomla database and a screenshot of your settings, and I will
   investigate.
