@pixle – sorry to hear you’re having trouble. To be honest with you, most of the time it’s the server setup that is the issue here. Have you tried the ALT xml in v1.1? We had this from one of our users, hopefully it will be of some help to you:
Last week I had to add the large file, and got errors so thought I would zip it and then had no problems. Been flat out but thought I should really come back and post in case it helps someone since so many of you have had trouble. I turned the xml file into a gzip archive (.gz) first to shrink the size and had no problems at all since with the upload.
Download 7zip (click for link) to do this if you don’t have it, then you can right click on the xml file you want to zip.
Make sure to select gzip or .gz extension in the Archive Format dropdown.
Hit OK (or is it Run?) and it will save your xml file wih a .gz extension
When you are ready to import the .gz file – make sure you tick the download media box
For those of you that want to avoid multiple menu items (from previous failed import attempts) and want to import the demo content fresh, you can use the handy “WordPress Database Reset” plugin (free) to strip it back to a basic fresh install state.
To get the demo content looking like it should, the following process should work:
Make necessary recommended settings PHP memory limit on server as per the documentation first – if installing into a sub-folder I recommend ensuring that your changes are recursive as hosting companies seem to differ in whether this is default.
Install & run the “WordPress Database Reset” plugin (if not your first try at importing the demo content) (Select All for clean slate)
Go to Appearance > Themes: select Theme (not child version)
Settings > Permalinks (I use Post)
Set up WooCommerce > Settings > Catalog Tab: images to same size as per the documentation
Set up Revolution Slider as per the documentation, including the text file.
Tools > Import: upload the .gz zip version of the .xml you wanted
Check the “Download and import file attachments” box
Cross your fingers. Wait & let it work its magic uninterrupted.
Appearance > Menus. Set Main Menu as the main menu for this theme.
If all goes well it then Voila! It should be same, same but different. Images, slider images, posts, pages & all. Good luck
Let us know how you get on.
– Ed
