First of all I must state: I have NO problem paying for premium plugins or extensions and I use many.
But, I should’ve read MORE of the 1 star (negative) reviews. In my case: migrating a subsite from a multisite install to a NEW single site install, I had to purchase the Multisite Extension $199. A little expensive for a plugin, but still not a problem AT ALL considering the “Lifetime license with lifetime updates” & “Use on any number of websites”.
But then come to find out I have to purchase another extension; “Unlimited Extension” because the export file was 1.06GB. So, I went back a read some of the negative reviews related to this and the developer commented in one of the reviews:
“You could contact your hosting provider to increase:
1. Memory limit
2. Upload limit
3. PHP Execution time
4. Max file size
Once your hosting approves these limits, you will be able to use the plugin as well.”
I happen to use WP Engine, which IS on their list of supported hosting providers. I had them increase (double) the limits as suggested here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deceptive-not-highlighting-limits/
I still see the warning within the plugin UI, (Maximum upload file size: 512 MB Get unlimited) and when I tried to upload, still get the same error; “Unable to import. The file that you are trying to import is over the maximum upload file size limit of 512 MB. You can remove this restriction by purchasing our Unlimited Extension.”
I must say I’m a little reluctant to purchase the “Unlimited Extension” because it may not work and I would then be out another $69 in addition to the $199 I’ve already spent.
I did read the positive reviews and it seems it works with sites under 512mb.
Yani, if you’d like to provide me the “Unlimited Extension” so I can test it, and if it works, I’d be happy to report that as well.
Thanks, Steve
