David, I was attempting to do this on a shared host and no matter what PHP directives I used it didn’t work. I had read here, there and everywhere that the WordPress importer plugin is problematic and even more so on shared hosts, so I switched gears and did everything from scratch on my own workstation, giving it the recommended higher timeout and memory limits. Here I have full control and plenty of resources to spare. I imported the full demo content and only a few items failed:

Failed to import shop_order_status cancelled
Failed to import shop_order_status completed
Failed to import shop_order_status failed
Failed to import shop_order_status on-hold
Failed to import shop_order_status pending
Failed to import shop_order_status processing
Failed to import shop_order_status refunded

What do you think caused these items to fail?

But overall this was a way better result. It shows that having sufficient privileges and resources under your control is a must for the import process to go smoothly. I plan to develop my site on localhost and later move it wholesale to my host.

Cosmin, I am new to WordPress development but this is a good a time as any to get started.  Are you referring to the WordPress options framework or one created by swiftideas?

Thanks, that was easy and it restricts navigation to posts in the same category.  However, this apparently works only if posts belong to a single category.  If any belong to multiple categories they don’t obey.  I guess there’s something more complicated going on with those.  Do you have any idea how to make this really, truly strict?

Thanks very much for your answer.  I am a javascript and PHP coder.  Is there online info that could direct me to the appropriate locations in the codebase?  That would give me a head start?
