    Hi,
    i am trying to import a file to my localhost in my laptop (using XAMPP).
    When I choose to IMPORT immediately (even before I specify which file to import) the import area of the plugin displays the message

    Maximum upload file size: 40 MB.

    I have modified this parameter both in, php.ini, in my wp_config.php and .htaccess and logout of WP, According to the instructions provided in other similar messages.
    But each time I re-enter the WP dashboard and click on the import link of the plugin
    the same message keeps appearing (and the import doesn’t work of course)
    (Each time I have changed the number in one of the afore-mentioned files, I have stopped and then restarted both the apache service and MySql service)
    Apparently the 40M number is built-in within the plugin…if not how else I can channge it?

    Please read this guide: How to Increase Maximum Upload File Size in WordPress

    The settings in PHP that you likely need to adjust are:

    • upload_max_filesize – set this to a value > than your backup
    • post_max_size – set this to a value > than your backup
    • memory_limit – set this to a value > than your backup
    • max_execution_time – set this to 0 (infinite)

    Thanks your quick reply @yaniiliev
    ok I see that I haden’t changed some of the values. After doing this, ithas proceeded to do the import.
    However I see that after the DB has been restored (a white dialog appears in the middle
    of the screen saying this and also that

    “Please do not close this browser window or your import will fail”

    ) the program seems to be still running (it has been for a few hours now) Is it normal?
    Do you want me to open a new thread for this?
    Thanks
