Fatal Error during installation

Shapely
1

Hello people.

I fell in love with this wordpress theme but I can’t manage to get it installed.
I am following the procedure described here step by step Shapely Theme Documentation - Colorlib but I alway get the same error message when I do step 3 of the second section:
“Import regular Shapely demo content by going to WordPress dashboard -> Tools -> Import -> WordPress. You should there upload file shapely-demo.xml”

I get this error message from Import Wordpress:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 62914560) (tried to allocate 29367975 bytes) in /…/…/…/wp-includes/class-wp-http-curl.php on line 343.

Please not that I have substitute some sensible data of mine with “…” but that basically is the path to the class-wp-http-curl.php file.

So I had a read here and there and if I got it correct this means that the execution of the import is consuming too much memory.
I have also made contact with my hosting’s customer support (Hostgator) and they say that memory allocated to php is fixed at 256 (which should be enough I believe).

Any ideas on how to sort this out?
My next idea would be trying a different hosting, but I would really like to give hostgator a try.

Thanks
Vittorio

Hi Vittorio,

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

Yes you are right it’s the PHP memory issue.

If you have memory 256M then could you please try Increasing memory allocated to PHP to 512M using the information provided on the following pages?

Thanks Movin.

I have tried pretty much all of those paths at this point but they did not work.

I have opted for following the tutorial without installing the demo content which is even better to me.

Anyway thanks for your reply, much appreciated, at least I now know how to raise allocated wordpress memory and stuff.

Have a nice day.

Vittorio
