Cant IMPORT Local Site

Community support
#1

Hello, i am trying to import my site using WP-All In One Migration and i have installed the additional plugin to change the maximum file upload from 8mb to 512mb, but now there isnt enough disk space to fit the site which is about 185mb.

Is there anyway to temporarily increase the disk space until the import has succeeded and then i cant delete the large all in one plugin extension?

Or is there another way to import the site?

Thanks
Joe

No we can’t sadly increase free limits for any user.
You could upload the local public_html into 000webhost.
Import the local .sql into 000webhost
Change the wp-config.php to match 000webhost.
Change wp_options table SITE URL to match 000webhost?

Or upgrade to avoid limitations, or use alternative free hosting.

And would i still need to have wordpress installed on 000webhost or should i reset the site completely and import my site files and database then?
