export 20.000 events in a new site

[gabriele scaduto]

Hi,
I export 20.000 events in a new site with another 30.000 events.
I try to export the 20.000 events with wordpress export but i think is too big.
Can i export events from database table of posts (event calendar)?

Thanks!!

Hi – great question!

Theoretically there is no reason you couldn’t export so many events, but if you’re using the export and import tools directly through the WordPress admin screens it’s possible you will hit a timeout (it’s not untypical for requests to expire after 30secs, for instance).

To avoid this you could work with your hosting provider to increase the timeout and/or perhaps you could explore using a tool such as WP-CLI for this task?

Good luck!

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
