Uploading archive failed(too big)

Hi najtrox,

Yes, the plugin is using chunks to bypass any size limitation. However, we set a hard limit of 150MB. In the next version we will lift that limit to 500MB.
We are expected to release the new version in the next couple of hours.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Great news. I am looking forward to it.

I tried exporting without media files, which produced a file approx. 9mb big. When uploading I get an http error, the console states 500 internal server error. Any idea what it might be?

Hey najtrox,

A few other users also experienced the HTTP Error that you are getting. We spent the last few days trying to identify the problem and we finally did. The new version will take care of that problem as well as many others. I prepared a list of features that are coming your way in case you are curious:

1. Increase upload limit of files from 150MB to 500MB.
2. Use ZipArchive with fallback to PclZip (a few users notified us that they don’t have ZipArchive enabled on their servers).
3. Use PDO with fallback to mysql (a few users notified us that they dont have PDO enabled on their servers, mysql is deprecated as of PHP v5.5 but we are supporting PHP v5.2.17).
4. Support for PHP v5.2.17 and WordPress v3.4 and above.
5. Fix a bug during export that causes plugins to not be exported on some hosts (the problem that you are experiencing).

We are also working on a commercial version that will feature:

1. A new, slicker design.
2. Theme picker – you can select exactly what themes you want to export – start with just theme names or dig deep and select single files.
3. Media picker – allows you to select what media files you want to export.
4. Plugin picker – allows you to select what plugins to export as well as to dig deeper and select the exact files to export.
5. Database picker – select what tables to export.
6. Custom post type picker – select what post types to export (pages, posts, events, videos etc).
7. Post and Page picker – select what posts or pages you would like to include in your data export.

We want to make sure that the product is solid and it does the work for you so if you have any suggestions or something that you would like to see added/removed to the plugin please let me know.

Thank you for helping us to make the product better.

Thank you for great feedback! I signed up for the beta also. Any timetable on when the new version will be released?

Thanks for your effort!

We are preparing the new version as I type ??
It has to pass our tests and then we are releasing it to you – expect it in the next 10-15 minutes.

najtrox, the new version is released. Let me know if something is not behaving properly for you.
Thank you!

Thanks. It seemed to work now. I do have one question though:
All my pages,posts and comments are not included. Is that a feature of the commercial version only?

Hi najtrox,

No, the free version needs to include everything that is in your database.
When you used the export page, did you tick any of the available options there or you exported the package with the default settings?

The idea of the commercial version is to make the plugin easier to use not to limit functionality.

Hi again Yani. Thanks for your quick replies.

The only thing I didn’t tick was the media files. I will try with default values now and see if it works.

Let me know how it goes, najtrox.

I just tried with media files and checked the DB.

pages, posts etc. are indeed imported and are called f.ex wp_comments in my mysql db.

The problem is it seems my page is actually using the data from tables with the prefix wi1. For example wi1_comments.

Any ideas what might be happening?

Oh, I think you just found a problem in the plugin ??
We will credit it to you in the Change Log, if that’s okay with you.
Bobby is writing a fix and we will release a “patch” version, 1.2.1, in the next one hour.

Happy to provide as much help as I can. I will try the new version when it’s out and post my results.

Hey Yani! By the way, By changing the prefix in wp_config.php to use wp_ everything seems to work exactly as expected!

Just tried to migrate today. I have a large photoblog. I got sent to a 404 not found page…is it still having trouble with large sites?
