Basic System Requirements
Lower limits may interfere with normal functioning of WordPress, theme and plugins…esp demo import
Item | Recommended Value | If low |
---|---|---|
memory_limit | 256M or higher (e.g., 512M) | – Incomplete Imports / Demo Import failure – Failed Plugin/Theme Activation – Allowed memory size exhausted error – Internal Server Errors – Plugins or themes may not function properly – Site Crashes |
WP_MEMORY_LIMIT | 128M may work OR 256M
If you have multiple WordPress instances…try with lower first. |
– Incomplete Imports / Demo Import failure – Allowed memory size exhausted error – Internal Server Errors – Plugins or themes may not function properly – Dashboard Issues |
post_max_size | 64M | A higher value is needed for uploading larger files (e.g., images, product data) through WooCommerce or page builders. If it’s too low, large form submissions or media uploads may fail. |
upload_max_filesize | 64M | You may want to allow higher upload sizes if you are uploading large images or files for your products or pages. Lower values may cause issues with uploading large product images, media files, or any content that needs to be uploaded via the WordPress admin. |
max_execution_time | 300 | A higher value is recommended for large WooCommerce stores and page builders, which can take time to load or process complex content. If too low, it could interrupt things like product imports, backup processes, or large page builds. |
