 * Plugin only imports part of posts.
 * Import runs well upto a moment and freezes. 826 articles of 7249 are imported.
 * Please advise.

 * 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:
    1. on Windows: [https://www.fredericgilles.net/migrate-wordpress-local-windows-server/](https://www.fredericgilles.net/migrate-wordpress-local-windows-server/)
    2. or on Mac: [https://www.fredericgilles.net/how-to-migrate-to-wordpress-from-various-cms-on-a-mac-mamp-server/](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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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.
    - Ask for a link to the [http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/) log of 
      the user’s web server error log.
    - Ask the user to create and post a link to their `phpinfo();` output.
    - Ask the user to install the [Health Check plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/health-check/)
      and get the data that way.
    - Walk the user through [enabling WP_DEBUG and how to log that output to a file and how to share that file.](https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG#WP_DEBUG_LOG_and_WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY)
    - Walk the user through basic troubleshooting steps such and disabling all other
      plugins, clear their cache and cookies and try again.
    - Ask the user for the step-by-step on how they can reproduce the problem.
 * 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.
