If you see that the demo import process is taking forever or it's not completed correctly this means your hosting PHP.ini limits are too low for working with WordPress Importer and demo data can not be imported on your server without the right configuration.
Change your PHP.ini settings according to the following minimum values. If you don't have access contact your web host and ask to have the limits increased.
memory_limit >= 512M
max_input_vars >= 5160
max_execution_time = 300
post_max_size >= 64M
upload_max_filesize = 128M
allow_url_fopen ON
PHP version 7.4or greater (8.x recommended)
Those settings are required to successfully import all demo content and images.
Check this official WordPress article on how to increase memory limits for your WP:
Cheap or bad shared hosting may not allow you to use these values (in this case you won't be able to import demo data onto your server). You need to switch to another hosting.
Your server is too slow to install plugins and import data demo content at the same time. To resolve this issue I recommend you should:
First, install all the required plugins for your site like:
Second, proceed to import Elessi data demo content with only pages that you want:
After changing PHP values reset your WordPress using the plugin to avoid content duplicates. Then run the demo importer again.
Also, if you have done the steps as I instructed above but the problem still continues, we are sorry about that! Please send one support ticket and your account information to log in website WordPress here: We will help you install all Elessi data demo content again!
