Common problems
Due to a medley of reasons, you might run into errors while importing the demo content. Below is a rundown of the most common ones, along with solutions.
Parsererror (200)
This means some syntax in the demo content wasn’t parsed correctly. Although the error looks serious, it’s not really a big deal. Click “View Site” to check what your site is looking like. Most likely the demo content got import successfully anyway.
Internal Server Error
If your import wasn’t successful, and none of demo content was imported, contact your web host provider. You most likely need to increase your PHP settings to accommodate the import size.
Error (500)
If you get this error, it means you need to update WordPress to its most recent version. You can update WordPress by selecting “update” in your dashboard.
