PHP Configuration limits

Most common issues like Demo Import failure or page save errors are generally related to excessively low PHP configuration limit settings. Some hosts will try to keep PHP limits low to conserve resources. You can either increase these limits on your own, or contact your web host and ask to have the limits increased. Since are paying for those resources, you should rightfully expect to be getting your money’s worth. PHP Version: 7.4.0 Server Memory: 512M Post Max Size: 128 PHP Max Input: 300 Max Upload: 5M WEBP Support enabled MBString PHP Extension enabled

Hosting Providers

We recommend using a host WordPress trusts to provide quality products and reliable service. If you're not decided on a hosting provider yet, we strongly recommend SiteGround.
Important: We have also compiled a list of hosts we do not recommend, especially if you use a shared economic package. The list includes GoDaddy, Hostgator, 1&1 & iPage. An online search will reveal many posts regarding their poor performance with WordPress.

How To Install WordPress

Before beginning the installation and configuring of your new theme, you must have WordPress installed. If you need to install WordPress then please visit: http://wordpress.org/download/. If you need any help with the installation , please refer to this guide: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress.

Here is a brief step by step on how to install WordPress:

  1. Download and unzip the WordPress package if you haven't already.
  2. Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
  3. Upload the WordPress files in the desired location on your web server:
    • If you want to integrate WordPress into the root of your domain (e.g. http://example.com/), move or upload all contents of the unzipped WordPress directory (but excluding the directory itself) into the root directory of your web server.
    • If you want to have your WordPress installation in its own subdirectory on your web site (e.g. http://example.com/blog/), create the blog directory on your server and upload WordPress to the directory via FTP. Note: If your FTP client has an option to convert file names to lower case, make sure it's disabled.
  4. Run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in a web browser.
    • If you installed WordPress in the root directory, you should visit: http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php
    • If you installed WordPress in its own subdirectory called blog, for example, you should visit: http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php
