Pretty much it’s likely either timing out, or running out of available memory. We need to see about providing a better way to handle the topic, especially for larger stores, as it’s always going to be a fairly long process, and ideally would work on a large variety of hosting environments.
Definitely not perfect, by any means.
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. I have found kind of a workaround. By increasing the execution, and post time to a very high setting (1200 ) I was able to import 189 of 299 products, whereas without doing this, I was stuck at importing only 33 products before hitting a 500 server error.
Now I have increased it to 12000, and post time to 1200 and attempting again. Hopefully it should import all products before hitting the 500 server error. I will add my notes here.
Thank you
Hi,
After changing the max exection time setting and post times to 120000 on both, and adding max exection time to the .htaccess time of 6600, I still get 500 server error but after it has imported 230 of 299 products. There are 69 more products to go, and nothing i can do seems to go beyond that limit. Please advise.
Thank you
Is there a way to break the process into increments?
Admittedly, the plugin isn’t that robust at the moment. I don’t know the exact history with it, but I have to believe it was a case of a tool built for a previous client for WebDevStudios, that we decided to also release publicly. That said, it was a one-purpose, at the time, use thing that wasn’t built out to be extremely robust.
I understand. I appreciate your feedback. If it were to be further developed would be able to provide some guidance. Thank you
Perhaps 30 products at a time?
We simply don’t have it coded in a way to do so in batch amounts, that part would need to be worked on first, before it can be utilized.
I also realize it creates a new CPT rather than import to the WooCommerce Products. Are there any workarounds to get that into the WooCommerce Product rather than export / import, which is probably the best way.
Nothing intentional, as it was never built to import into WooCommerce, it was just meant to import into its data type in your install. However, you could likely do a mashup of sorts for it with https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-type-switcher/ or some queries/sql to switch in mass.
Awesome!! Will look into it.
