Demo Content Import Fail

masseyn

When i try to import the demo data on my HeartInternet hosted site i get the following error

WordPress function wp_remote_get() test failed. Looks like your server is not fully compatible with WordPress. Contact your hosting provider.
Error: Failure when receiving data from the peer

Never had this problem with Avada, X-Theme or Bridge ???

Any advice or way round this issue ?

Thanks

Hi,

you may not had this problem with other themes because they do not have so many pre-made layouts as we have so it's pointless to compare BeTheme to other themes. Also, please notice that wp_remote_get() is default WP function. This function uses loopbacks and this could be the reason why you are unable to import full demo. So or you will contact with your admin and ask him if he can remove those limits for you or you must import demo with errors and then import muffin options manually.

More details about similar issue you can read on http://forum.muffingroup.com/betheme/discussion/12103/wp-remote-get-demo-download-no-header-menu-of-footer-settings where a problem was a little bit different but the solution may work for you as well.

Thanks!

Do you have a list of the limits that need to be changed ? I am the admin !!

Albert

If you are the admin, you should activate developer mode and check in logs what is happening during the import. We are not server experts so we can not check this one unfortunately. Like we wrote above, the problem is related with wp_remote_get() function which uses loopbacks.

This is the response from HeartInternet....

Thanks for contacting us. On checking the error logs on the server it look like the theme is causing a loopback on the server

massivesolution.com [Mon Apr 11 12:52:29 2016] [error] [client 5.148.15.50:56120] AH01215: PHP Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /home/sites/massivesolution.com/public_html/cor/wp-content/themes/betheme/functions/importer/import.php on line 496: /home/sites/massivesolution.com/public_html/cor/wp-admin/themes.php

This is unfortunately not supported on shared hosting.
Our servers prevent scripts making HTTP (port 80) connections back to the same server that they're running on, as policy.

This is done to prevent the possibility that mis-configured scripts could enter, essentially, an "infinite loop", making call-backs to themselves. Such a situation is extremely detrimental to server performance, and would negatively impact other users also on this shared server.

Unfortunately we are not able to lift this block on a per-site or per-script basis, so you will need to see if you are able to reconfigure the script (or contact the script authors for assistance doing this), or use an alternative script that doesn't require HTTP requests to its own server.

It may be possible to add the below line to your wp-config file:

define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);

This may allow for this to work but I cannot confirm.

Any other ideas or is there a manual install process to recreate a demo ???

Yes, wp_remote_get() uses loopbacks and it's necessary if you want to import demo with all it's settings. If you don't have this feature included, you need to import settings manually. In previous message, we gave you link to topic where we explained how to import those settings manually.

In reference to cron, in our opinion this won't change anything but you can try yourself of course if you want.
