Hi James,
Thanks so much for reaching out!
The best/simplest way to solve this timeout issue is by increasing the max_execution_time in php.ini (the default value is 30 seconds):
max_execution_time = 60
If increasing the max_execution_time to 1 minute is still not enough, you can adjust/increase it more to ensure that the server will have time to process your requests before it hangs.
It seems as if you have already contacted your host to do this, however I am not seeing the change reflected in your system information. Would you mind resending your system information in a private reply or checking with your host provider if the change has taken effect?
I hope this helps, let me know how it goes!
Thanks,
Jaime
