How to Use the XML File to Import the Demo Site’s Content
- Log into your site as an administrator.
- Make sure you activated your new theme before proceeding.
- Go to Tools → Import
- Choose “WordPress” from the list.
- Upload the demo using the form provided on that page.
- You will be asked to map the authors in this export file to users on the blog. For each author, you may choose to map to an existing user on the blog or to create a new user.
- You will then have the choice to import attachments, so click on the “Download and import file attachments” box.
- Use plugin Customizer Export/Import for import customizer settings.
Please be patient while WordPress imports all the content. Posts, Pages, Projects, and Menus are imported. You will need assign the menu a theme location & you’ll need to configure widgets. This is a limitation of WordPress’ import system. Enjoy!
Many issues that you may run into such as; white screen, demo content fails when importing, empty page and other similar issues are all related to low PHP configuration limits.
The solution is to increase the PHP limits.
You can do this on your own .
- Find the php.ini file in your Server config files.
- For WAMP, its in apache2/bin/apache2.2.22/bin/php.ini
- Go to the line "max_execution_time=30" .
- Change it to 360 or any other large value.
Or contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows
- max_execution_time 300
- max_input_time 300
- memory_limit 256M
- post_max_size 512M
- upload_max_filesize 256M
