Demo Import Failed to Import in WordPress Theme

When the demo import fails, it is almost always caused by server limits, missing plugins, or connection issues.
Use the checklist below.

1. Check required plugins #

Before importing:

1. Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins.
2. Make sure at least these are installed and active:
   • Rakmyat Core
   • Elementor
   • Contact Form 7 (if used in demo)
   • WooCommerce (if importing a shop demo)

If any required plugin is missing or inactive, activate it and try the import again.

2. Increase server limits #

Low PHP limits can stop the import in the middle.

Ask your host or edit php.ini / .htaccess / wp-config.php to reach at least:

• memory_limit 512M
• max_execution_time 600
• max_input_time 600
• upload_max_filesize 128M
• post_max_size 128M

Then:

1. Go to Settings → Permalinks → Save Changes once.
2. Try the demo import again.

3. Disable extra plugins and caching #

1. Temporarily deactivate all non‑required plugins (SEO, cache, security, etc.).
2. Clear any cache (plugin cache, server cache, Cloudflare).
3. Run the demo import again.

This avoids conflicts during import.

4. Use local demo files (if server cannot fetch from remote) #

If your host blocks external HTTP requests or is very slow:

1. From the ThemeForest package, copy the demo-content folder into:
   wp-content/themes/your-theme/inc/demo-import/demo-content/
2. Go back to Rakmyat Dashboard → Demo Import.
3. Run the import again: now it loads files directly from your server instead of downloading them.

---

5. Try Manual Import mode #

If the automatic One Click Demo Import still fails, use manual import:

1. Switch to Manual Import on the Demo Import page.
2. Upload:
   • content.xml as Content.
   • customizer.dat for Customizer (if field exists).
3. After that, import:
   • theme-options.json in Theme Options → Import / Export.
   • Elementor site kit (site-settings / templates) via Elementor → Tools → Import/Export.

This achieves the same result as automatic import.

---

6. Check error logs #

If it still fails:

1. Enable debug logging in wp-config.php:

phpdefine( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );

2. Run the import again.
3. Open wp-content/debug.log and look at the last lines to see which error occurs (timeout, memory, permission, etc.).
4. Fix according to the message or send the log file to support.
