Export is producing a tiny zip, which is missing most of the content

  • Hello, I’m using WP Migrate Light 2.6.3, and attempting to export my entire site. I watch while it does the export, and it does some weird things like starting to process the media folder, very slowly going from 1% to 3%… then seemingly just skipping the rest and immediately moving onto the next step. It does this on several of the steps.

    Then before I know it it gives me the success screen and says something like “Successfully exported 8GB in 1m13s” and I get a zip file that is 60MB in size.

    I import that zip file into Local and it either doesn’t work, saying it’s incompatible, or after multiple exports I got one that did work, but everything was missing. The blog posts, the media, etc etc.

    Any ideas?

    Hi there!

    WP Migrate Support Team here, Thanks for reaching out with your query we would be happy to assist.

    Just to clarify, have you tried redownloading the file? If not yet, please try that and see if that works. Otherwise, you can try editing your wp-config.php file on both servers to replace this line –

    define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, false );

    With these lines –

    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false);

    This will cause all runtime errors, warnings, and notices to be written to /wp-content/debug.log, which will hopefully yield some better information about what’s going on.

    Then try the process again and check the debug.log file if created and see if you can find more details about what might be causing this issue.

    More information about that here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/#wp_debug

    Thanks!
