WP migration - Stuck

[charlotteallred]

I’m using WP migration to restore my site from a back-up. It’s stuck at 97%. Is there something I need to do on the Cloudflare hosting side?

Thanks

Greetings,

Thank you for asking.

My best guess is the Cloudflare timeout happened, either I blieve the PHP process continued executing in the background, or rather throwing some errors in the Developer Console (F12) of your Web browser while sending/receiving XHR (Ajax) requests?

To avoid any interruptions, I’d suggest you before starting this process, to either use “Pause Cloudflare for this website” option from Cloudflare dashboard, or temporary switch the DNS records like A www and A domain.com (or CNAME if using CNAME setup) from (proxied) to (DNS-only, unproxied).

Upon success, un-pause or switch them back to make sure Cloudflare is working for your website.

Kindly, ensure your Website is working over HTTPS before/after moving to Cloudflare to avoid any possible issues and errors in the meantime.

Nevertheless, just in case double-check your PHP values (like max_execution_time, memory_limit …) and check your error.log file for any possible clues, if so.

Thank you!! I already started it and it’s stuck at 97%, so I feel a little stuck now

If you have access, you could also use WP-CLI to backup/restore stuff. Have a look at Using WP-CLI to migrate/copy your site (rocketgeek.com) for some info about that.
