Important: Works best to import on a new install of WordPress. If any trouble comes up after importing, please reset your WordPress and start from the beginning.
Before importing demo content, certain configuration settings should be verified.
PHP Recommendations
The following PHP settings are critical for a successful import:
- Memory Size: memory_limit = 256M
- Script execution time: max_execution_time = 400
- Number of input variables: max_input_vars = 4000
Alternative Configuration Method
For users lacking direct php.ini access, these values can be added to the .htaccess file:
php_value max_input_vars 4000
php_value max_execution_time 400
php_value memory_limit 256M
Warning: Be careful using these settings. Some hosting companies don't allow users to change PHP settings. If you experience any problem after making these changes, please revert them in your .htaccess file using your FTP client.
