Importing with Wordpress

If you get a 500 Internal Server Error while importing a large file in Wordpress:

  • Just keep refreshing the page and re-submitting the data.
  • Items will continue to be added (and downloaded) a few at a time, and no item will be added twice.
Eventually all the data will be imported correctly.
