I'm receiving this error while importing: Warning: Error while sending QUERY packet.

If you have access to the mySQL config file (my.cnf or my.ini), add these lines in the config file and restart MySQL:

max_allowed_packet=512M
wait_timeout=28800

If not, run these SQL commands on phpMyAdmin on the WordPress database before doing the import:

SET GLOBAL max_allowed_packet=524288000;
SET GLOBAL wait_timeout=28800;
