Hello,
I am also experiencing the same error reported here and on other posts.
I debugged it and determined that it’s related to the usage of the wp_generate_attachment_metadata
hook. When this hook gets called, an error occurs, which then causes the AJAX action request to return the 503 error.
When I comment out these 2 lines of code related to the attachment metadata update, the import works successfully. See here: https://prnt.sc/uepr3f
So what’s the issue? I tried disabling some plugins that could interfere with this hook, but no luck..
Perhaps there needs to be some error handling related to the metadata update.
Thanks,
Austin
