I’m working on a site on a server that does not have connectivity to the internet – does Enfold need access to the internet to import dummy data? If so, is there another way to load the data? If not, why would it be failing?
Hi!
No, it does not need internet connection to import dummy content. Have you tried de-activating all active plugins and check if that helps? What is the exact error you are getting?
If you would like to import them manually, you can find XML files in Enfold/includes/admin/demo_files
For your information, we have a queue that goes from oldest post to the newest posts and each time you self post, you are pushing your query to the end of the queue.

YigitThere are no plugins installed at all – including the default plugins.
I receive no error, the import never completes, it just sits at the import screen.
Checking the website shows only a partial import.
I’m able to upload content to the website using the media upload.As far as the queue goes, when in 12 hours my post can be buried on page 14 or higher and nobody has even acknowledged receipt of the post, it doesn’t do much for my confidence that anyone will ever get back to me. Maybe you could look at a ticketing system like Redmine and a published SLA.
I fixed mine by finding the xml file I wanted to import, they are in includes\admin\demo_files, except for the default layout, it’s in includes\admin, and called dummy.xml.
using 7zip, I made the dummy.xml into a gzip file, extension .gz.
I then used the wordpress uploader in plugins to import.
it’s a workaround that worked for me.Coastcomputer – thanks for the response! Halfway through implemting your solution (which required me to download and hand-carry (copy) to the wordpress install so I could do the import)…A search I ran turned up this:
Enfold may not try to reach out to the internet, but WordPress definitely does. One person suggested adding localhost (127.0.0.1) to their /etc/hosts file to just reroute all requests back to the server itself – someone else suggested adding this to the wp-config.php file:
define(‘WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL’, true);
That ^^^ worked perfectly – once all external requests stopped, the dummy data imported in about 2 seconds…and the entire site sped up. The phone home requests in WordPress are unbelievable…I think I’m going to implement that little item on my production external website…
Hi!

@albunch1 Glad you figured it out! :)Best regards,
