# Plugin purposefully broken forcing $60+ “subscription”

 * I have used this plugin several times on several migrations and the download 
   to local and then upload always worked.
 * But since 6.7 they have broken the “import” from file feature so that it gets
   stuck, requiring you to take your exported files and go through one of the many
   workaround. All of which now require a subscription.
 * I want programmers to be paid. But this has become a bait-and-switch scheme.

 * A quick google of “All-in-One WP Migration Import Stuck” will show how common
   this problem is. The only recommended solution is “check your server is limitations”.
   So I did check, and increased my server limits to astronomical levels, still 
   have a problem. So to users, it appears to be a very common bug, with no clear
   workaround or cause.
   The real kicker is that users used to be able to manually
   upload the backup file over reliable FTP and the plugin would recognize it and
   import it, but that feature has been put behind the $69 paywall.
 * This is the definition of a bait-and-switch.

 * You are correct that some users may experience problems with the import process,
   and it’s possible that server limitations could be causing the issue. However,
   it’s important to note that there are a wide variety of factors that can affect
   the import process, and it’s not always possible to identify the root cause of
   the problem without further investigation.
 * We recommend checking the plugin’s documentation or reaching out to the plugin’s
   support team for assistance in troubleshooting the issue. It’s possible that 
   there are other steps you can take to resolve the problem, such as regenerating
   the export file or adjusting the plugin’s settings.
