I am trying to export my views so that I can import them to a new site using
hidden link;.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=toolset-export-import&tab=wpv-views
but the operation times out, is there another way to just do a full Toolset migration to a new wordpress site?
NOTE: We are comfortable with SSH and modifying files on the OS if needed. Our main goal is just to completely migrate to another host, so if this tool isn't the best way to do that and you have other documentation we are fine with that.
Thanks
Hello, if your main goal is to migrating the entire site, then a migration tool like Duplicator or All-in-One WP Migration would be ideal. These plugins are designed specifically for site migration, and are fully capable of migrating sites with Toolset content. They both handle updating serialized data structures effectively, and we use both tools regularly here in support to help debug client issues locally.
If you're having timeout issues importing only Toolset information using Toolset's Export/Import features, you may continue to experience timeouts with those other plugins since the datasets will be larger. On the other hand, those other plugins are able to handle more data by processing in chunks, so it might not be a problem. You'll have to experiment and see what works best.
If you only want to export and import Toolset structures rather than migrating the entire site and contents, and you're having system timeouts, it maybe possible for your hosting company to increase the time limits for PHP execution. If not permanently, then maybe temporarily during the import process? Your hosting company would be able to tell you if this is possible.
Let me know if you have questions about this and we can discuss in more detail.
