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!

why am I and my client in the middle, can you sort it out please? who do i ask???????? xxxxxx

You should speak with your admin or if he won't be able to help, switch to another (better) hosting that supports Wordpress completely because current one definitely doesn't. Please understand that this has completely nothing to theme.

as you know, i LOVE betheme, you are my heros, but just to show you the last message they have sent me -

As mentioned in our first reply, loopback connections are blocked on shared hosting (you would need a VPS or higher to use them). The main reason that loopbacks are not allowed is that if used incorrectly they can cause infinity redirects which can crash the server. Loopback connections like that are blocked on our servers because they can also be exploited by attackers. As such the restriction can not be lifted.

Can you please try logging into the admin via:

http://176.32.230.48/ukcommercialkitchens.co.uk/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://176.32.230.48/ukcommercialkitchens.co.uk/wp-admin/&reauth=1

Then try and import? This is using the temp IP and may help avoid the loopback.

If this does not work, can you please request the URL that the import is trying to connect to from the theme creator and ask then to confirm the version of SSL they are using?

Im so confused as the theme is on my pc, just as all your clients BEThemes are, and they are blaming you lol ???

do you have a link to a betheme with 'Interior 2 demo data' already uploaded so i cna just upload it at all?

xxxxxx

No, we do not have any other links and any other solutions. Pre-built layouts can be imported with '1 click installation' feature which uses loopbacks. So if loopbacks are blocked on your current hosting, you should change hosting then or build pages from scratch as we do not have any other solution for that.

Thanks!
