If the import hangs, please use our recommended settings during the migration.
The recommended php.ini settings are:
max_execution_time=7200
max_input_time=7200
memory_limit=2G
post_max_size=1G
upload_max_filesize=1G
Also please add:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '2G');
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:
- on Windows: https://www.fredericgilles.net/migrate-wordpress-local-windows-server/
- or on Mac: https://www.fredericgilles.net/how-to-migrate-to-wordpress-from-various-cms-on-a-mac-mamp-server/
In any case, if you click again on the import button, it will resume the import where it left off.
Don’t hesitate to contact us again if you still have got a problem.
Modified the php.ini file and the wp-config.php.
Still hangs at exactly 826 posts. When “Resume” is clicked immediately shows 100%.
Maybe something is wrong with my DB/articles.
When setting the category ids to all articles to a specific number (through the DB) all goes well.
This is good enough for my situation.
Thank you.
@kerfred I’ve deleted your offer to login to your user’s site. I’m am 100% sure you mean well but please never ask for credentials on these forums.

Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.
If something was to go wrong, then you the author may well legally become liable for damages, which they would not normally have been as their software is provided without warranty.
Please be aware that repeatedly asking for credentials will result in us escalating this to the plugins team.
It’s never necessary to do that. Here’s why.
There are many ways to get information you need and accessing the user’s site is not one of them. That’s going too far.
You get the idea.
Volunteer support is not easy. But these forums need to a safe place for all users, experienced or new. Accessing their system that way is a short cut that will get you into real trouble in these forums.
