When planning extensive imports with Aggregator, ensure your hosting plan provides adequate memory.

When planning extensive importing with Aggregator, it’s crucial to ensure your hosting plan provides adequate memory, ideally at least 128M for PHP. Additionally, the WordPress memory limit must be configured to match your server capabilities.

To increase your WordPress memory limit, follow these steps:

Access wp-config.php:
- Navigate to your WordPress root directory using your preferred file manager or FTP client.
- Open the wp-config.php file for editing.
Edit Memory Limit:
- Locate the line: /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
- Directly above this line, insert: php define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');
- Adjust the value 128M if higher memory is needed for your operations.
Save Changes:
- Save the modified wp-config.php file after setting the desired memory value.

Additional Performance Tips

If you notice performance issues such as a slow site, consider staggering the import of feed items. This approach can help manage server load and maintain site responsiveness. Implement these measures to optimize your WordPress environment for smooth importing operations.
