Hello All,
First of all, thank you for a great product.
The thing is, I am installing the Theme Demo, however while performing the, “one click demo install,” the loading progress bar comes to half way point and then it doesn’t move any further (more than 30 minutes).
I am testing the theme in a local XAMPP environment. I also did a fresh install to make sure there wasn’t anything I missed but I am following the documentation step by step the way its been provided on the support page.
Not sure what is causing the issue here. Any assistance would be greatly help.
Thanks.
Regards,

Update:
The issue is with my local environment.
I did a refresh install on my live web server, the demo installed in less than millisecond ! Issue resolved.
By the way any one have a suggestion, what could be causing the issue on my local XAMPP environemnt ? I will further research on my end.
Thanks,
Usually it’s a memory allocation issue with PHP, such as too short process time, or too small memory allocation (e.g., 32MB vs 256MB); and/or the maximum “upload” size is too small. Checking your php.ini setup file usually solves that.
Hi Chris,
Thanks a lot for the information, it sure was the issue with memory allocation, and bunch of other stuff on the php.ini that had to adjusted. Demo version looks great on the local environment.

Been there !
Hi guys,
as redtaileagle I have the same problem. Local environment is a fresh made VM (vmware) with Ubuntu 14.04.02 LTS.
php.ini
...
upload_max_filesize = 24M
...
memory_limit = 256M
...
Strange thing is that I did a VM a couple of days ago, same OS, same php.ini & other settings. Everything worked flawless, so I played around the demo and messed up everything as a baby with a new game. This morning I create an identical VM and installed flawlessy WP and the NewsMag theme. Then I tried to download the demo’s data but it freezes just at the end. It downloads something but not all, in fact on the main page you can see texts and can’t see images but if you click on a post everything seems working fine, at least texts and images are ok.
Any idea? because I really can’t understand what’s wrong.
Thank you in advance,
AM
Hi am,
After what Chris suggested about increasing the memory allocation, upload file etc, in the .ini file. I came across this article which helped me understand the issue:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3958615/import-file-size-limit-in-phpmyadmin
Fyi – here are my current settings, and after the increasing the values, demo took split of second to install-:)
memory_limit=128M
post_max_size=128M
upload_max_filesize=90M
Thanks redtaileagle, I’ll take my time to read it carefully. I was in a hurry so workarounded it, installed everything online then exported sql & files in my local virtual machine and… everything worked (and working) flawless.
Thanks again,
AM
