All-in-one migration file limit not working

Support
1

What issue or error are you experiencing?

Trying to import using all-in-one migration, even with all the upload limit settings appropriately updated in the php config file (and in nginx) - the .wpress file will begin uploading, but once the import reaches 100% it throws an error. Others have reported this but those topics are closed so I can’t reply to them to ask how it has been resolved.

Thanks for any advice!

What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc

Hey @darum! Instead of using the plugin are you able to export the site to import manually? If you can get a zip export of the content and SQL you can just drag and drop that over Local to import.

Or if you exract the files you can do a manual import with the steps here: Manually Import a Local Site

Thanks @Nick-B ! So I tried:

  • Importing the .wpress file to LocalWP → but localWP does not support importing .wpress files
  • Following the guidance here: All in One Migration Import Limit - #4 by Mariainesds to extract the .wpress file and re-zip it as a zip file. While the extraction works, unfortunately there is no .SQL file so zipping does not allow uploading into localWP

Struggling to figure out how to proceed, I see no .sql files in the extract of the .wpress file

What about using a free plugin like WP Migrate Lite to create a full site export of the site instead?

When you’re creating the export I would exclude any site backups that you may have already made with All In One or any other backup plugins as those can then confuse the Local import.

Thanks @Nick-B I’ll try that now - should I find-replace anything to work with localWP?

I’m not sure what you mean @darum - Are you talking about having to do a manual search and replace after importing?

Hi @nick-b No I meant in the WP Migrate Lite, it gives you the following option to find-replace words site-wide:

I tried exporting that Zip file as is, with all boxes checked (exporting everything - media, themes, plugins, etc.) - and tried to Create a Site in LocalWP with that zip file, and unfortunately still get an error:

I’m going through the FAQs to see if I can diagnose what might be causing the issue :-/

@nick-b I suspect there was an issue in export - the file is 1GB in size but the zip can’t open in windows (says it’s invalid), making me suspect the download failed. I will try again and report back

So the zip file you made with WPM won’t import into Local but you also can’t even unzip it to get to the contents?

@Nick-B yes that’s correct, but I tried re-exporting and got it to work - the site was able to import into localWP. Unfortunately, while the home page opens, all the other pages in the site give ‘Not Found’ - I’m wondering what could be causing that issue

A few things you can try here:

Thanks @Nick-B ! Given that the home page works perfectly, and the only seems to be that the links are dead, could it require some sort of find-replace?

@nick-b Fixed it! Method 3 in this link worked:

Sharing the full options because while Method 1 and 2 were already set for me (correct linking), others may experience those challenges.

Ultimately, you need to:

  1. Go to your app>public>wp-config.php file
  2. Add the below code before the /*That’s all! Stop editing comment
define('WP_HOME','http://yoursite.local');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://yoursite.local');

Great to hear! Thanks for sharing your solution, @darum.
