    Hi everyone.

    Im brand new to the world of wordpress and doing anything website development related.

    Iv been setting up an ecommerce website for a couple months now on my localhost as i thought this would be best to start off with so i can get to know how to use it and get the site working properly.

    But now whenever i try to follow the duplicator process i keep getting an error message at the end. I feel like it might have something to do with my site taking up around 3Gb and this may be to big of a file for suplicator so its timing out.

    I have alot of photos on my site and alot of product pages.

    Would the site of my site effect transfering it over? Do i need to delete some work?

    Thanks

    Mark

  • Hey Marky,

    If you on a budget host most likely 3GB is too much. You can create filters to filter out your images/movies directories ect to get the overall size of the site down, and then manually move the files yourself…

    Hope the helps!
