Using the Unlimited Extension (Optional but Essential)
Import large websites without size limits.
Many hosting providers restrict WordPress upload limits to:
- 128MB
- 256MB
- 512MB
If your .wpress file is larger than this, you must install the Unlimited Extension.
How to install it:
- Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
- Upload the Unlimited Extension ZIP file
- Activate the plugin
This removes ALL upload limits and enables smooth import for any file size.
