Plugin: All-in-One WP Migration #22

I am using a plugin (All in One WP Migration) to migrate an existing WordPress site to sandstorm. When I try to import the created file which is around 300MB, the plugin just hangs at 0%. This is not a plugin issue since it is working on other WP installation.

Is this a Sandstorm limitation?

I've checked the Plugin All-in-One WP Migration.

The import as well as the export seem to get stuck when trying to access the database which is Sqlite for Worpress on Sandstorm. Below is the mentioned screen, where the import process is stuck:

I did double check that hypothesis by exporting a website without any SQL data (you can choose that in the advanced options of the export). The import seem to work then but actually nothing happens. The export doesn't work no matter what you have chosen in the advanced settings.

So I can pretty sure tell that the plugin is not compatible with Wordpress on Sandstorm. Partially because of Sqlite which is used as database and partially due to other Sandstorm-specific things.

The only thing I've found so far is the Wordpress default export plus the import plugin which is added already to Wordpress on Sandstorm. This is good for moving posts and pages but bad for media and site settings.

So unfortunately there is no solution yet for this issue.
