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.
To reset the imported data, you must click on the button “Empty WordPress content”. Uninstalling/reinstalling the plugin won’t change anything.
