Hello guys!
I am creating a wp website for testing puropsese and im usin a free webohosting service.
I va installed my listing theme but to import the demo content it requires to install All-in-One WP Migraton plug in, but the free version of it, is size limited to 10mb, and the demo content is larger.
Is there any way how to import the demo content?
Thank you
 
Get a paid Web Hosting service, or get a cheap VPS (for like $5), and setup a simple Apache server, with PHP and install wordpress
 
I am going to buy the normal hosting service on Namecheap, but before doing that i have to test the theme and the plugins. If i will like it i will invest on it, Try before buy!

Then you should be able to run a server locally without any issue, check out XAMPP
You can easily install Wordpress on XAMPP by doing some Google Searches, if you are still stuck on how to do this, let me know and i can try to guide you though the process.
 
Thank you, I remember i have installed wampserver long time ago i will try on it.
Thank you for your help

From my humble experience, sometimes there are some errors in PHP that don't display in local environnement like wamp or xampp, so if you could try in your local server then pick a free hosting provider to test on it such as : http://www.000webhost.com

Check their Black Friday offer. You will save a lot in the first year. ;)
 
000webhosting is not working. Its too slow,doesnt load up... Wasting of time.
 
I have currently created an account there, installed worspress, and every time i try to log in, it doesnt even load up, cant access the dashboard...
 
But it's not a xml file, it's a .Wpress file(a demo content of a premium theme).
 
It's called MyListing(you can find it on Festinger archive).
It has 3 demos that you can import. It requires All in One Migration plugin to import the demos. But with the free version of the plug in you can import only 10mb file. The demo is about 24mb.

So you mean like there is a file size upload limit set to 10mb ? And it can't be changed on the free hosting ?
 
Yes. Free hosting services has a limit on uploading this type of files, but you can install larger files themes or plugins via ftp. Unfortunately i cant find a way to install the demo content via ftp...

There is actualy one i can think of, i have tried it myself in the past !

On your local server (xampp or wamp) if you have the website already installed, install the demo content in local, then upload these new files to FTP and import the database you have in local to your phpmyadmin online server.

Afterwards, use "Search and replace" to change the old domain name you have been working with in local to the new domain name you suppose to have in the server!

And tell me if it works !
 
  • Log into your site as an administrator.
  • Make sure you activated your new theme before proceeding.
  • Go to Tools → Import
  • Choose “WordPress” from the list.
  • Upload the demo content .xml using the form provided on that page.
  • You will be asked to map the authors in this export file to users on the blog. For each author, you may choose to map to an existing user on the blog or to create a new user.
  • You will then have the choice to import attachments, so click on the “Download and import file attachments” box.
  • Please be patient while WordPress imports all the content. Posts, Pages, Projects, and Menus are imported. You will need assign the menu a theme location & you’ll need to configure widgets. This is a limitation of WordPress’ import system.
  • Enjoy!
