 * Hi, my wpress import keeps stalling on the mu-plugins section. I’ve exported 
   my site with the advanced option to not include mu-plugins and I’m still having
   this problem. Every time I try I end up having to reinstall WP because I get “
   Error establishing a database connection”. Any advice?

 * Hi
 * You can try to exclude must use plugins from Advanced Settings menu on export
   and use the new backup file to re-import.

 * Thanks, Borislav. I already have it set to exclude mu-plugins but it still hangs
   on that part of the import. Any other ideas?

   only two have worked so far.
 * Please help?

 * I too am having the same issue. I am migrating multiple sites and so far out 
   of the 4 I have tried only one of them have worked.
 * The plugin continues to get stuck on the mu-plugins and I eventually need to 
   close the site, uninstall and reinstall WordPress through cpanel and try again.
 * Also I have disabled the mu-plugins when exporting and the same thing happens.
 * This appears to be an issue with many people. Could you please offer a solution.
 * thank you for your time and expertise.
