Betheme demo data not working

Recently updated wordpress and installed the most up-to-date version of Betheme but I get this message when trying to upload the demo data:

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

Now I have no idea what any of that means, can you help?

  • My hosting provider has suggested this:

    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.

  • Hi,

    Looks like your server does not support wp_remote_get() function which is a default WP function btw. wp_remote_get() uses loopbacks and this could be the reason why you are unable to import complete pre-made layout. So or you will contact with your admin and ask him if he can remove those limits for you or you need to import demo without paying attention to errors and after that 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!
