Errors when importing demo content

[dr_hotte]

I just did a fresh install of the Cardinal theme and updated to the latest version of the demo content importer plugin (v1.22) and the theme (1.01).

Just started the import for all elements of the “Features” design. I’m getting a couple of error messages right from the start (see screenshot attached) and the import keeps on running forever (more than 15 minutes now).

Any suggestions what might go wrong?

Hey there!

Looks as if you have URL file-access disabled on your server, which will mean that it’s impossible for the importer to load the XML file to import from.

This should hopefully be an easy thing to sort out on your hosting, if you follow this guide: http://www.solo-technology.com/blog/2010/04/07/quick-fix-for-url-file-access-is-disabled-issues/

The easiest solution to try would be adding the following to your .htaccess file in the root of your website:

php_flag allow_url_fopen on

If this doesn’t work – then either have a look to see if you can change it on your server, or ask your host, they should be happy to enable it for you.

Hope that helps!
