I’m having exactly the same problem. We have a TEDx website that we migrated from the server to a localhost where we have done our development.
Now the development is over, we did the following:
1. Backup main TEDx website
2. Removed WordPress from TEDx and reinstalled a fresh version of WP
3. Installed the WP Migrate plugin
4. Export from localhost changing the file paths
5. When we come to import it hangs with “Restoring Database” and the animated cycle.
I could do with your help as we are completely stuck as to how to migrate our work back onto the liveserver http://www.tedxwandsworth.com
Many thanks
