Cant upload Church extended demo (solved)

Hi,

I’ve tryied to upload the Church extended demo, but it always shows the same mistake warnings while installing :

  • hang in there, trying to reconnect…
  • experiencing technical difficulties…
    and then the result is that no data is installed.

Any clues?

Thanks!

Solved.

After spending some hours reading several posts here, I learned a way to fix this and I wanted to share it to others.

a) First of all, yes, it has something related to PHP Version. Once I upgraded some ongoing sites (that I’m currently working on) to V 7.0, an error appears on screen : max_upload_filesize too small on PHP.ini.

b) So I check several sites to change the values for PHP Ver 7.0 and found out that max_upload_filesize was set to 2M. Changed that value to 32M.

c) Also, because this demo uses slider revolution, some other values need to be modified on PHP.ini, such as post_max_size = 8M, that has to be increased to 32, and memory_limit = 128M, increased to 256M.

With all those changes, extended demo content uploaded fine… partially. Now I have the demo content upladed except for the revolution slider (and yes, I had previously installed Slider Revolution and activated the pluggin), because on the website this message appears on top of the home screen : "Revolution Slider Error: Slider with alias church-home not found. "

Because of the several times that I tryied to upload the content, I had four home pages, four Posts, etc. So i decided to uninstall WordPress and start with a fresh and clean installation from scratch. Same result, no slider was being uploaded with the theme. Erased everything (again!) and choosed another extended demo content. All extended demo data, except the slider revolution was properly installed. Anyway I was going to remove that and use another Rev Slider, so it doesn’t affect me at all.

hope this helps.

Hello There,

It’s good to know that you have figured it out a way to correct the said issue.
Thanks for letting us know!

Best Regards.

I’m getting this same error on my homepage: Revolution Slider Error: Slider with alias church-home not found.

How can I fix this without having to erase and install everything completely? I’ve activated the plugin and increased the PHP memory so everything is ready to go. I just have no idea how to get the slider working.

Hello Maria,

Thanks for updating this thread.

This error “Revolution Slider Error: Slider with alias church-home not found.” means that the slider does not exist. Usually happens when you import the demo content and Rev Slider were not installed or active during the import. To resolve this, simply download the church demo slider here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vt609q8usdn5a23/church-home.zip?dl=0 and import it to your Rev Slider panel.

To know how to import a slider, please check this documentation: https://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/import-export-replace/

Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the files from DropBox and zipped them up again to import them and then got an error message saying “slider_export.txt” does not exist when it was clearly in the files I downloaded.

My follow-up question would be how can I download other free slider templates from the Slider Revolution page directly: https://revolution.themepunch.com/examples/ or from within Wordpress when I choose “Add Slider from Template”?

Hello Maria,

You do not have to unzip the file. You will need to upload church-home.zip when importing. And of course if your computer automatically unzip the file as you download it then you’ll have to zip it again.

You can download other sample slider templates from here: https://revolution.themepunch.com/free-slider-exchange/

“Add Slider from Template” option with the Revolution Slider panel is exclusively available if you have bought a separate license of the plugin. This is not applicable to bundled plugins.

And if the import is not working, please create a secure note in a separate thread with your site details in it so that we can install it for you. You’ll have to create in a secure note to make sure that only your and our staff can see the login details. Please DO NOT post your details in this thread because you are not the original poster or owner of this thread.

Thanks.

Hi Maria
Have you tried to disable the revolution slider plugin? I think it’s not required to be used for the church demo. I deleted the plugin and my site works just fine. The error message disappeared.

Hey @7heDuke,

Thanks for chiming. Maria has posted a different thread and it seems the issue were resolved already.

Cheers.
