How long should it take for demo content to import?

[tbolton]

I have successfully installed the Cardinal child theme and am now trying to import demo content for BuddyPress. It has been several hours and it still says: “The demo content is importing, please wait. Note: the page may refresh at intervals, this is normal..”

Is this timeframe normal? How long should it take?

Update: After 8 hours of importing I get the following error message:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /home/explorew/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1977

Here’s the link to the site I am trying to work with:

Hi,
You need to increase memory. Methods for increasing the amount of memory a PHP script may consume:-

1. If you have access to your install and are running a version of WordPress earlier than 3.0, try the plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/memory-bump/ as this is the easiest way to increase your RAM for WordPress. [Mod note – Link Added 2010-06-21]

2. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
If your line shows 32M try 64M. If your line shows 64M try 128M
memory_limit = 64M ;
3. If you don’t have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
php_value memory_limit 64M

4. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
Increasing memory allocated to PHP
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

5. Talk to your host.

I am running WP 4.0. Where would I find the php.ini file?

I have found memory limits When I look in default-constants.php file. It says the following:

// set memory limits
if ( !defined(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’) ) {
if( is_multisite() ) {
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);
} else {
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’40M’);
}
}

if ( ! defined( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’ ) ) {
define( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );
}

/**
* The $blog_id global, which you can change in the config allows you to create a simple
* multiple blog installation using just one WordPress and changing $blog_id around.
*
* @global int $blog_id
* @since 2.0.0
*/
if ( ! isset($blog_id) )
$blog_id = 1;

// set memory limits.
if ( function_exists( ‘memory_get_usage’ ) ) {
$current_limit = @ini_get( ‘memory_limit’ );
$current_limit_int = intval( $current_limit );
if ( false !== strpos( $current_limit, ‘G’ ) )
$current_limit_int *= 1024;
$wp_limit_int = intval( WP_MEMORY_LIMIT );
if ( false !== strpos( WP_MEMORY_LIMIT, ‘G’ ) )
$wp_limit_int *= 1024;

if ( -1 != $current_limit && ( -1 == WP_MEMORY_LIMIT || $current_limit_int < $wp_limit_int ) )
@ini_set( ‘memory_limit’, WP_MEMORY_LIMIT );
}
