Import BeTheme Demo Data Error " missing/invalid WXR version number"

maryvazquez

Hello,

I can't import any Betheme Demo Data ("Bussiness", "Coaching", etc )

I get "Sorry, there has been an error. This does not appear to be a WXR file, missing/invalid WXR version number" ERROR.

I have Betheme version 9.5 and Wordpress version 4.3

What's the problem?

Regards

Albert

Hi,

this problem is not related with theme. It is something on your server side. Please take a look at https://www.google.com/search?q=Sorry,+there+has+been+an+error.+This+does+not+appear+to+be+a+WXR+file,+missing/invalid+WXR+version+number&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=-gvxVfqwKYuzswGb-ZrIAg where you can find some useful tips.

Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for answering.

I set true the debug mode in wp-config.php and now show me 

1:1 Start tag expected, '<' not found

There was an error when reading this WXR file

Details are shown above. The importer will now try again with a different parser...

Sorry, there has been an error.

This does not appear to be a WXR file, missing/invalid WXR version number

You have any idea what configuration on the server may correct this error ??

Thank You

Albert

You need to contact with your server admin probably because we already imported both demos: Business and Coaching on our test site without any problem. So files are ok.

Do you have the test with Wordpress version 4.3 ??

Yes, we did. Our main demo is working on 4.3 version.

I have the same problem. I contact the provider and he answered that he has already checked and everything it's all right. Can you check the problem if i send you my wordpress password?

Albert

@SNA68 Of course we can but there is nothing to be checked. We are 100% sure about that. We had few similar situations in the past and in every case the problem is on server side. For some people, admins were able to fix it but some of our customers switched to other server and everything was fine as well because previous provider had no idea how to fix it.

The same was told my hosting provider and I should tell him that something must change.

It would be a good idea to find the reason for this sporadic problem.

If you could help to find the reason would be wonderful.

@maryvazquez We were checking it many times in the past and we know that it's not because of theme. This problem is only related with server and there is unfortunately nothing what we can do on our side.

The Problem is based on teh "Wordpress Importer Plugin" Version 0.6 - the Demo Data Importer is working with functions from this plugin.

I found a workaround: please install the Goodlayers Importer plugin (http://townofkipling.ca/wp-content/plugins/goodlayers-importer/) ist based on teh old version of the wordpress importer plugin (v0.5.2) and only activate the goodlayers importer.

Than it works for me
