Hello there,

when i saw the dokumentation i thougth „OH MY GOD“ is this a really really nice Thing. Demo Content to test all the Features and see a full Site with stuff to change without uploading stupid things to see a bit ot the funktions.

Now to my Problem.

Its the 5th Day i am trying to install the Demo Content and to Fix the (Failed to import Media)-Error.

I Googled four evenings how to fix the Problem. I tried different Import-Plugins. I tested different WordPress Versions. But nothing worked well.

Here my Data of Usage:

Wordpress: 4.6.1 (English Version)
Wordpress Import Plugin: Manually downloaded from this Site and Installed

Debug: IMPORT_DEBUG is „true“

I also checked the Links from the Images i tried to import with the Error. And they exist. But i am not in the mood to download all the 500 pics manually.

Here is the Error Message i get:

Failed to import Media “canola2”: Remote server did not respond
Failed to import Media “dsc20050727_091048_222”: Remote server did not respond
Failed to import Media “dsc20050813_115856_52”: Remote server did not respond

Failed to import Media “Boardwalk”: Remote server did not respond
Failed to import Media “Yachtsody in Blue”: Remote server did not respond
Failed to import Media “Rain Ripples”: Remote server did not respond
…

Hope there is someone who can help me.

Hi @sterosize,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

Just temporary activate the default Twenty Sixteen or Twenty Fifteen theme and then try importing the content.

First try it without downloading the attachments and then try with attachments. Do not worry the data will not be duplicated.

After importing the content reactivate the Shapely theme.

Best Regards,
Movin

Thank you for sharing the site details.

I logged in to your site and it seems the issue with your site or hosting server because i also can’t install new theme or plugins on your site as shown in the attached screenshot.

Please resolve this issue first by contacting your hosting provider.

The Host „bplaced“ doesent support the Socket ?! It´s only for PREMIUM User. I am a Free user so there is a Problem. Now i changed the Host and i finally solved the Problem. Now i can install the Theme with the content and Plugins :slight_smile: YEAH

Hi @sterosize,
How did you solved the problem?
How did you changed the host and to what you changed it?
Do you mean the host of your website or some variables in the code?
