    Hello,

    I would like to use a new theme from among the demos already available.

    I currently have the Hipster theme and would like to switch to Handmade Artisans.

    I haven’t checked all the items, only Theme Options, Menu, Footer/Header, Single Product… but it keeps getting stuck at 9 or 10% (I’ve waited over 10 minutes and nothing is happening, even though I haven’t checked Media). I’m trying to install the child theme.

    Do you know what the reason for this is?

    Thank you in advance.

    Julien

    Hello,

    Thank you so much for purchasing our theme and contacting our support center.

    Please disable all 3rd-party plugins and then import the demo content.
    We kindly ask you to deactivate all plugins and, during the import process, activate only those that are absolutely necessary.

    Should you wish to perform the import process independently, please ensure to remove the previously imported demo content https://prnt.sc/OhdZLlrEFq5g before importing the desired version via XStore > Import demos.

    Should the issue persist, please do not hesitate to contact us again and provide temporary WP-Admin access. It is very important to temporarily deactivate all third-party plugins prior to importing the demo content, as they may interfere with the process.

    Warm Regards,
    The 8Theme Team

    Hello,

    I tried disabling all plugins and using the child theme, but I got an error when reinstalling the necessary plugins (such as Elementor, WooCommerce, and Pro Elements).

    I also tried checking only “Theme Options,” but I still get an endless loading screen that prevents me from completing the installation.

    I will send you the information privately.

    Thank you.

    Hello, Julien,

    Could you please provide temporary FTP access? We will check what can be done to help you.

    For FTP access, we require the following details: FTP host, FTP username, FTP password, FTP port, and FTP encryption type. If you need assistance in creating these credentials, please reach out to your hosting provider who will guide you through the process.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I am unable to provide that information.

    I wanted to update the theme, but I got an error.

    So I deleted all the plugins as well as the main theme and child theme to perform a complete reinstallation and start from scratch.

    I do have version 9.6 of your theme.

    But now I’m stuck again:

    1) I get an error when installing Xstore Core.
    2) I get stuck again when I try to install a demo theme.

    Thank you for your help!

    Hello, Julien,

    This error usually occurs due to insufficient space on the server for uploading and extracting archives. Please make sure that your server has enough available space for this process.
