Answer 1

You may receive a message such as “Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded” or “Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded”. This means that it is taking to longer for a process to complete and it is timing out.

  Edit file  wp-config.php:
Add the following to wp-config.php:

set_time_limit(300);
