I am currently experiencing issues with the WP All Import plugin on my WordPress site. The problem occurs specifically on Step 3 (Drag & Drop interface) of the import process, which does not work properly due to the PHP max_execution_time being limited to 60 seconds.
Could you please increase this value to at least 180 seconds on my hosting account?
This change is necessary for running imports, since WP All Import requires more execution time for processing CSV/XML files.
I’m sorry, but the limit is fixed on free hosting and cannot be increased.
Is there perhaps a workaround around this? If the problem is that importing the data takes too long, perhaps you can split the import data into smaller files that you can upload one-by-one?
Thank you for your reply, unfortunately the WP All Import plugin requires more time to process the script, the file size for import is not large at all, and it’s not even about the import file itself, it’s for the plugin script itself to work. Well, if your hands are tied, then I think I’ll look for another solution. Thanks again for the reply. But I like your services very much.
Even if the file size is not large, my recommendation to reduce the file size still stands. The total duration of the import process is very simple number of items to import * time to import an item. The time it takes to import an item is hard to reduce, but reducing the number of items to import is not.
How big the file is isn’t really the point. Remember that we’re dealing with a script timeout issue, not an upload size issue.
