    Hi,

    I was trying to upload a SQL file so I can import an old site onto a new wordpress address, but the error message says the file is too large.

    What should I do in this case?

    Thank you,
    Dorothy

    Hi Dorothy –

    Thanks for writing to us. Can you tell me more about the SQL file that you’re importing.

    • what size is it?
    • what’s the goal of the import?

    Knowing a little more about the end goal helps us see the bigger picture which often times saves you time and money.
