Import data failed because error message

  Hi,
  
  looks like your server is not fully compatible with WordPress. Demo settings can not be imported automatically because your server does not work with wp_remote_get() function which uses loopbacks. In this case, you must import settings manually. Or you need to contact with your admin to fix it.
  
  Thanks!

  What would I ask them to fix? Should I ask them to enable curl (saw that on a Google search - ignore it if I'm speaking nonsense)?  Or what specifically?
  
  Thanks.

  Mine was intermittent as well.  I tried it twice in a 5 minute span and it wouldn't work.  I tried an hour later and it did.  I assumed my host had fixed it, but they hadn't touched a thing yet.  Hmm? Intermittent stuff is always hard to figure out.

  I'm getting a similar error on my staging site. I need to test it here first before going live and replacing my entire main site:
  WordPress function wp_remote_get() test failed. Looks like your server is not fully compatible with WordPress. Contact your hosting provider.
  Error: SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name 'xxxxxx.staging.wpengine.com'  (I substituted xx.. for actual name)
  
  THis is evidently just an SSL error because he staging site is simply a copy of my main site. It's also a copy of my actual SSL certificate. How can I temporarily get around the SSL issue so I can install demo data? Can I install it directly via SFTP? All I'd ned is the correct directory name and I'm good to go.
