WordPress import stuck at importing database (PHP version changed from 7.4 to 8)

    Hi,
    We are using All In One WP migration for export/import of our websites.
    At the moment, our old server is PHP 7.4, and new server has PHP 8.0.20. As its a Bitnami AWS stack, we cannot change PHP versions on the servers.

    We have taken an export of WP site running on PHP 7.4, and when we try to import this to new WP 6.0 site which has PHP 8.0.20, we get a warning “Your backup is PHP 7.0 but the site your are importing to is php 8.0. This could cause the import to fail”

    If we proceed, the import gets stuck at restoring database 72%.
    Can you please help or suggest on this?

    Thanks

    Enable debugging in WordPress by following this guide: https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/
    Then see what is causing the issues. You likely need to disable/update a plugin/theme that is not working with PHP 8.

    I had the very same issue and I had to redo the entire site on the new servers. I imported only the db, no template, no plugins and the wesbite broke. Any suggestions?
