Introduction

In this tutorial we will try to solve the issue (stuck at 100%) we face during the import in all-in-one wp migration plugin. If you are using free version of all in one wp migration plugin and also using Cloudflare then follow the following steps to avoid the importing issues like stuck at 100%.

Part A – Check and Ensure the followings

Never share your credentials with unauthorized person or organization. Configuration files (e.g. – wp-config.php, .htaccess, etc.) are very sensitive and critical, to avoid misuse of these files always keep these securely and never share these type of files with anyone.

Check with your Hosting Provider

Check with your hosting provider to remove the file size limit if any. Also revalidate the requirement with your hosting provider so that they can make required changes for you.

Edit you wp-config.php and .htaccess file

You have two option to increase the file upload limit and other

Option 1 : Wp-config file

Open the wp-config.php file and ensure that the following lines of code are there with your desired limit. I have given the size for demo purpose, edit these values as per your requirements.

I using cloud hosting with cPanel and following image is for your reference. Just click on the public_html folder and you will see the wp-config.php file there.

@ini_set( 'upload_max_filesize' , '512M' );
@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '512M');
@ini_set( 'memory_limit', '256M' );
@ini_set( 'max_execution_time', '300' );
@ini_set( 'max_input_time', '300' );

Option 2 : .htaccess file

You can do the same using .htaccess file. Just click on the public_html folder and you will see the .htaccess file there.

Enter the following code in your .htaccess file and save. Edit the following code as per your requirement because the value mentioned here are for demo purpose and will be different for every use case

php_value upload_max_filesize 428M
php_value post_max_size 428M
php_value memory_limit 456M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300
