Did not work on my site import slow, stuck, limits OK

  • The upload was slow and stuck at 25.7 or 50.7%. Increasing the WordPress max-upload size and time did not help. I extracted the transfer/backup file, using the extractor on Github.com and uploaded the files as a zip file, which I extracted on my new hosting account, but my site turned blank. So, my site was down for a couple of hours.

    Fortunately I had a backup copy of my site and the database. So, I fell back on the simple and fast manual method:
    1. Uploaded and extracted my wordpress-backup as a *.zip file using my cPanel’s file manager. Uploading was done in minutes.
    2. Created the new database and user in cPanel
    3. Imported the database-backup file, using phpMyAdmin (Accessible from cPanel)
    4. Edit the wp-config.php (db-name, user and password) in cPanel’s file manager

    Done! My site worked again, all done from Cpanel, no FTP needed. Apparently it’s better to upload an exact copy of your site and your database than trying to import a transfer-file in a new WP installation.
