System Requirements

To use our themes, you must be running WordPress 4.8 or higher, PHP 5.6 or higher, and MySQL 5 or higher. Below is a list of items you should ensure your host can comply with.

  • Check to ensure that your web host has the minimum requirements to run WordPress.
  • Always make sure they are running the latest version of WordPress.
  • You can download the latest release of WordPress from official WordPress website.
  • Always create secure passwords for FTP and Database.

Hosting is more secure when PHP applications, like WordPress, are running using your account’s username instead of the server’s default shared username (www or www-data). The most common way for hosting companies to do this is using PHP. Just ask your potential host if they run PHP or something similar.

Recommended PHP Configuration Limits

Many issues that you may run into such as: white screen, demo content fails when importing, empty page content and other similar issues are all related to low PHP configuration limits. The solution is to increase the PHP limits. You can do this on your own, or contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows:

  • max_execution_time 180
  • memory_limit 256M
  • post_max_size 32M
  • upload_max_filesize 32M

You can easily check on your server resources by: Navigate to Elementor > System Info on admin sidebar or using one of the third party plugins, such as the php server info.

** Note: If you have done all but still encounter this issue and your web sever is Nginx. It might be problem of Nginx server configuration has the too low response time. You should increase the timeout to 300 the try to reinstall the sample data.
