Critical Environment Error – Godaddy to SiteGround

This is as far as it goes and fails in this process:

Website Migration in Progress
Transfer started. Creating archives of files…

I also went and checked in my wp-content folder and got this error. I think I deleted my personal information. How do I solve this? I’d like to get this done ASAP.

Can someone please help me? I’d like to get this done ASAP and I’m still having issues. I’ve even emailed the developer. I’m honestly somewhat regretting switching hosting platforms considering this isn’t as easy as they made it sound. Might be asking for a refund and going somewhere else after this.

I’m just going to keep updating here so maybe it helps someone else who comes across this same issue.

So, I thought maybe it was Woocommerce. I went to the thread that hasn’t been updated in 6 months. I tried to rollback my Woocommerce to 4.2.1 like Site Migrator says, that didn’t work.

I tried to second option of deactivating and deleting Woocommerce then tried the migration process. Now I’m getting this error.

I’ve just edited the file wp-config.php to this.

define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘768M’ );

Let’s cross our fingers it works this time. Not hopeful though.

Hey @lyraparish

Regarding the Woocommerce issue, please update to the latest version. If the issue still exists, please open a separate thread and we will try to fix it asap.

Regarding the memory issue, please check if you have any big files in your themes/plugin folder, like zip archives, database export, etc.

I managed to solve the Critical Environment Error – Godaddy to SiteGround by uploading a file with the name “.user.ini” at the root of my site in godaddy with this content:

memory_limit = 1024M
max_execution_time = 1200
post_max_size = 512M
max_input_vars = 15000
max_input_time = 1200

plus adding the command
define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘768M’ );
to the wp-config.php file.

Then i restarted my php version on godaddy to be sure that the server was working with these changes.
i confirmed these settings were active on the tools>health section of my site.
