Please use our recommended settings during the migration.
The recommended php.ini settings are:
max_execution_time=3600
max_input_time=3600
memory_limit=1G
post_max_size=1G
upload_max_filesize=2G
also please add:
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘1024M’);
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/
In any case, if you click again on the import button, it will resume the import where it left off.
Thanks, I spoke to hosting but hey are not willing to do much. Increased memory limit to 512M! That’s all they did.
Tried importing again but still gets stuck on 27%.

The other way is to do the import in local. Here is the procedure : https://www.fredericgilles.net/migrate-wordpress-local-windows-server/
It is more reliable and generally faster than doing the migration on a shared server.
Can I do it on mac? I don’t have windows.
Yes, on Mac you can use MAMP instead of WAMP. And the procedure is the same.
