WordPress Daily Routine

Demo content doesn’t import properly, leaving empty or broken layout.

Theme Demo Import Fails

Key Points: Theme demo content import fails, hangs, or results in incomplete pages with missing images or structure.

You want your site to look like the demo — but after import, it’s a mess. No sliders, no pages, no formatting. That slick design you saw in the preview? Gone.

⛔ Why Demo Import Fails

• Server limitations (low PHP max input, timeout, or memory)
• Missing required plugins
• Corrupted or large demo XML file
• Theme uses one-click import that silently fails

✅ Fix It

1. Check your PHP settings: max_execution_time, memory_limit, and upload_max_filesize
2. Install all recommended plugins before importing
3. Try the manual XML import via Tools → Import → WordPress
4. Contact theme support for import log or troubleshooting

🧩 Side Note

Many demo imports are optional — sometimes building it manually using reusable blocks is faster and cleaner in the long run.
