Transferring Content Between Two WordPress Installations

While migrating my content between WordPress sites, I face a 503 Service Unavailable error. Might multisite settings be the cause? Any alternative importer suggestions?

During a similar migration process I faced issues that weren’t entirely caused by multisite. I found that slow response times and server timeouts were related to PHP settings as well. I addressed the problem by verifying error logs and adjusting both memory limits and script execution times. In my case, a temporary disablement of conflicting plugins paved the way for a smoother import process. Reviewing .htaccess configurations also ensured that rewrite rules were correctly set, preventing additional access issues during the data transfer.

hey, maybe chekc your caching and modsec rules - i faced a similar hiccup. splitting the import into smaller batches helped me, and using wp-cli promised smoother runs. good luck!
