Increase PHP Values

  • Troubleshooting

If your hosting provider enabled the option to change the PHP values from the Cpanel just login to your panel and change the options there.
Otherwise try the following methods. Be aware that this section requires advanced knowledge.

Increase The Max Input Vars Limit

The max_input_vars directive can be configured in .htaccess, php.ini or wp-config.php file. We recommend to increase default value to 3000. But if you have a lot of menu items try 5000 or higher.
Here is how you can do it:

In .htaccess

php_value max_input_vars 3000

In php.ini

max_input_vars = 3000

In wp-config.php

@ini_set( 'max_input_vars' , 3000 );

Increase Maximum Execution Time

You may receive a message such as Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceededor “Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded”. This means that it is taking to longer for a process to complete and it is timing out. There are a number of ways to fix this error.

In .htaccess

php_value max_execution_time 300

In php.ini

max_execution_time = 300

In wp-config.php

set_time_limit(300);

In .htaccess

php_value memory_limit 256M

In php.ini

memory_limit = 256M

In wp-config.php

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Troubleshooting

Should you not feel comfortable in trying the above methods, or the above did not work for you, you need to your hosting support about having them increase your PHP values.

Server Requirements

Table of Contents
  • PHP Configuration limits
  • Increasing limits

To use Dizmo WordPress Theme, you must be running WordPress 6 or higher,

or newer version (WordPress officially suggests to use)

and MySQL 5 or higher version. Dizmo has been tested with Mac, Windows and Linux. Below is a checklist of items your host needs to comply with to ensure proper operation:

Ensure your web host has the minimum requirements to run WordPress.
Make sure the latest version of WordPress is up and running.
If necessary, you can download the latest release of WordPress from the official WordPress website.

PHP Configuration Limits

Issues you may encounter, such as demo content fails when importing and similar issues, are generally related to excessively low PHP configuration limit settings. You can either increase these limits on your own, or contact your web host and ask to have the limits increased to the following minimums:

  • memory_limit =256M
  • max_input_vars =3000
  • max_execution_time = 300
  • post_max_size = 12M
  • upload_max_filesize = 12M
  • allow_url_fopen = ON
  • asp_tags = OFF

Make sure you have wp_remote_get() function enabled or unblocked by your hosting as this is default feature of WordPress and is required to get demo content from our server.

Outdated templates warning

WooCommerce keeps showing this warning with every update of WooCommerce. It's nothing but a nagging warning which has nothing to do with theme or it's functionality.

If you're getting notice of outdated WooCommerce template, then you just need to update the WooCommerce version by editing files of WooCommerce from 'wp-content/themes/theme-name/woocommerce' (Edit those files of WooCommerce only in where version is mention). For example, you can update the version of 'wp-content/themes/theme-name/woocommerce/archive-product.php' as per below screenshot:-

Translation

Table of Contents
  • Use Poedit software
  • Use Loco Translate
Use Poedit Software

For individuals who desire translation using files included in the theme, we suggest using the .mo/.po files. These files work in 'buddies' or pairs, so for every language, you must have 2 files with the same name but with a different extension name altogether. For example, if you wish to translate into the French language, your files would be fr_FR.mo and fr_FR.po

To make edits on these files, you have to use Poedit which is an “easy to use” software. You only need to upload our provided .pot file into Poedit, then edit relevant text values, save the file and upload them into the language folder that is included or provided in the theme.

Use Loco Translate

You can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/ plugin for translate too.
