The demo import process for WPRentals should normally work smoothly via the WordPress admin area, using the official demo importer.

If Demo Import Fails

If the demo import fails, gets stuck, or does not complete correctly, the most common cause is a hosting or server configuration issue. Before retrying the import, make sure your server meets the recommended requirements.

Recommended PHP Configuration Limits

• max_execution_time: 600
• memory_limit: 128M or higher
• post_max_size: 64M
• upload_max_filesize: 64M

If your values are lower, contact your hosting provider and ask them to increase these limits.

How to Check Your Current PHP Limits

• Go to Dashboard → Tools → Site Health
• Open the Info tab
• Expand the Server section

LiteSpeed Cache Plugin Can Break Demo Import

Some hosting providers (for example, Hostinger) automatically install the LiteSpeed Cache plugin. If this plugin is active during demo import, it can interfere with wp-admin requests and cause the import to fail.

Caching and optimization can result in:

• 403 Forbidden errors
• Missing demo content or images
• Broken Elementor pages
• Incomplete demo imports

Before Starting Demo Import

• Go to LiteSpeed Cache → Settings
• Disable all options in every tab
• Save changes after each tab

After Import (if LiteSpeed was active)

• Disable LiteSpeed Cache completely –
  
  How to disable LiteSpeed Cache to verify correct theme functionality
• Purge all caches
• Clear browser cache or use an incognito window
• Re-run the demo import if needed.
• A full reset may be needed. After reset, LiteSpeed options must be disabled manually again before activating license.

Problem: Demo Import Fails With 403 Forbidden Error

https://wprentals-demos.s3.amazonaws.com/solo2-demo/theme_content.xml
Reason: 403 – Forbidden

Cause

The most probable cause is a server-side limitation, often related to LiteSpeed Cache being active in wp-admin.

Solution

• Disable all LiteSpeed Cache options
• Activate the WPRentals theme license
• Import the selected demo again

Problem: Demo Import Fails With 500 or 503 Error

The demo import may fail with:

• 500 – Internal Server Error
• 503 – Service Unavailable

Cause

Demo import is a resource-intensive process that can exceed hosting limits, especially on shared hosting.

Common causes include:

• Low PHP memory limit
• Low PHP execution time
• CPU or process limits
• Security or caching rules blocking admin requests

What to Check

• Verify PHP limits meet the recommended values
• Temporarily disable all caching and security plugins
• Disable server-level caching if enabled
• Check server error logs in your hosting panel

Solution

• Ask your hosting provider to temporarily increase resource limits
• Retry demo import after caches are disabled
• Contact support for manual demo import if needed

Problem: Elementor Pages Are Blank After Import

This happens when Elementor Containers are disabled.

Enable Containers in Elementor

• Go to Elementor → Settings → Features
• Set Container to Active
• Save changes

All modern WPRentals demos require Elementor Containers.

If the Demo Was Imported Before Enabling Containers

• Reset the site using a plugin such as WP Reset
• Re-activate the theme license
• Run the demo import again
