xml file not importing

There were 66 images. Both import files would have been created the same way – so I don’t kno why there would be an issue with the first one and not the secont one. Unless after your plugin is installed the export function is different too?

Failed xml file: https://packaging.dividiva.com/demo_content/vacances/demo-content-orig.xml
Successful xml file: https://packaging.dividiva.com/demo_content/vacances/demo-content.xml
This is the log file from the failed import:
https://packaging.dividiva.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/log_file_2016-07-20__17-44-29-1.txt

Hi,

the first two links do not work for me (they do not point to the files).

But I think I found the issue in the failed XML, please look at this screenshot: https://goo.gl/byjhTo

I think this encoding issue is causing the import failure…

Also: no, the export function is not changed, if our plugin is installed.

Take care!

Oops, they should not have “packaging” in them – but looks like you found them anyways! Yes, I see, that is a good way to test then whether your import file is “good”. Thank you.

No problem ??

Have a nice day!

I having so much bad days please someone help me :((( so much error in wordpress

I cant import my demo content using “wordpress importer” so can I use ftp to upload my demo content

Note: I increase wordpress upload_max_filesize & max_post_size & also memory limit. I still can upload any file atomically using wordpress upload system or wordpress importer

SO MY ONLY OPTION LEFT FTP/FileZila

Hi Omar,

this is the “One click demo import” plugin support forum (this is not a general “wordpress” support), I see that you also posted a question in another support forum, that is more appropriate, so you will probably get a answer there.

Also you can ask your hosting company for help, they will know, what is causing your imports to fail with the default “wordpress importer”.

Take care!

Hi! I just downloaded your plugin and I’m willing it to be my salvation since neither WP “select import” tab nor “Tools>import” option have worked for me.

So far, using the “select import” tab, I’ve been able to upload options and widgets’ documents properly. I’m missing the content though.

I already found the folder where the .xml file is. However, it seems to be divided in several .xml files. I tried uploading one by one with this plugin, but several error messages keep showing after every upload such as:

1. [WARNING] Failed to import product_tag armchair
[WARNING] Failed to import product_tag Backpack

2. Error: Not Found (404)

What can I do about it? Is there anyway I can merge all those .xml files? Better, is that the solution or is there any other solution?

I’d really appreciate your help. I’ve read plenty enough without any success :'(
Best regards!

Hi @catarami_93,

this plugin is mainly used by theme authors to prepare the “one click” demo import for their theme users.

As I understand your theme did not come with this plugin recommended nor does it have a predefined demo import setup, right? So you are using the the manual importer?

For content importer you could try the unofficial WP importer 2.0, it’s still in the development, but it might help you out: https://github.com/humanmade/WordPress-Importer
We are using a slightly modified version of this plugin’s core.

Take care!

Yes, the situation is just as you described it. I tried uploading one by one regardless of the errors shown and as I imported them, errors stopped showing. I was finally able to fully upload it.

Thanks for the answer and the suggestion though. Great plugin BTW.
Best!

Hello:

For various reasons I had to do a complete reload of my site using WordPress. That means I copied my posts, pages, media, attachments, etc all into an xml file via the wordpress exporter from my old site. I deleted the old WordPress files including dumping the database to start over. I reuploaded a clean copy of WordPress, reuploaded my theme, plugins, etc. I also imported my widgets from the old site and reinstalled them on the new one. When I went to run the WordPress XML importer, it has stalled or just times out. I’ve upped my file size limit and time out using code in the .htaccess file as well as a code in the wp_config.php. Trying to upload again nothing. The file is only 1.37MB in size and it shouldn’t be taking so long. Is there anything else I can do?

Hi @nowordneeded,

what does the import log file say? Please view the log file in the wp-admin -> Media section.

Maybe all you images are failing and because the importer is trying to import the images over and over again, it stays in a loop.

Let me know, what the import log is saying and I can help you further.

Take care!

The file just times out. I don’t get anything except the browser times out. I’ve tried it in Firefox (default), Chrome and Opera. Same thing. Nothing is happening. It’s the entire file that’s not uploading. This includes my posts, pages, tags…..

NWN

@cap

This is what I get when I try to upload the file:

The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.f

Like I said above, I’ve tried it on Firefox, Chrome and Opera. Nothing works. And I’m sorry but I don’t know what you mean about checking the log file. Is there a file in WordPress that is in the actual file system? Because other than that, there is no file to look at except what is in the wp-admin > media php file. Nothing for logging, unless you mean the log file in the server.

Edit: Further, I set up a sandbox and ran the file through the demo in both the WordPress Importer without success, then through the WP All Import plugin. I received an error message saying:

There is a problem with your import file. The XML file has errors and is not valid.

I then ran it through an XML validtor, and received this message:

XML Validator will not run it

I have researched this fix for hours and found nothing to help. One thing I read was to re-import the file from the old install and then try to re-install. Problem is I’ve deleted the old install. I also read to run it through mysql in PHPMyAdmin. I do not know how to do this. I also found one article that said the ISO coding is wrong….. And on, and on, and on. You see my conundrum? I really need this fixed without it my WordPress site cannot go back up as it contains all my posts, pages, tags, and such and it would be impossible for me to try to recreate the posts and pages since the original install was over five years old. The reason for the need for a clean install was due to a hacked site. I tried cleaning up the files using a plugin to scan the site, however, when I just didn’t know if the site was clean, I thought of just doing what I’ve done with a clean install.

So here I am……

Hi @nowordneeded,

I’m sorry, that you are having these issues, but this plugin (One click demo import) is not meant for regular WordPress import. That’s what the regular WP Importer plugin is for. This plugin is for Theme authors to enable one click demo import for their themes, to enable theme users to import demo data with one click…

The only help I can offer you is to look at your import file (XML) and see if I can spot the issue… Send me the import file and I’ll take a quick look at it.

Take care!
