Check the values below before you buy hosting or import a ready-made website. Most import and editor problems we see in support come from a low memory limit or a short execution time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"minimum-and-recommended-versions\">Minimum and Recommended Versions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Item<\/th><th>Minimum<\/th><th>Recommended<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>WordPress<\/td><td>6.8<\/td><td>Latest version<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PHP<\/td><td>7.4<\/td><td>8.3 or newer<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>MySQL<\/td><td>5.6<\/td><td>8.0 or newer<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>MariaDB<\/td><td>10.5<\/td><td>10.11 or newer<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PHP memory limit (WP_MEMORY_LIMIT)<\/td><td>256 MB<\/td><td>512 MB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>HTTPS<\/td><td>Not required<\/td><td>Valid SSL certificate on the whole site<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The minimums come from Elementor, which Kata needs for its widgets and builders. The recommended PHP and database versions are the ones WordPress.org recommends. Your host can tell you which versions your server uses, or you can check them in <strong>Tools &gt; Site Health &gt; Info &gt; Server<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"php-settings-for-importing-demos\">PHP Settings for Importing Ready-Made Websites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Importing a ready-made website downloads images and creates many pages at once. These values give the importer enough room to finish:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Setting<\/th><th>Recommended value<\/th><th>What it controls<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><code>max_execution_time<\/code><\/td><td>300<\/td><td>How many seconds a PHP script can run. Too low and imports stop halfway.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><code>max_input_time<\/code><\/td><td>300<\/td><td>How long PHP may spend reading uploaded data.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><code>upload_max_filesize<\/code><\/td><td>64M<\/td><td>The largest single file you can upload, such as a theme or plugin ZIP.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><code>post_max_size<\/code><\/td><td>128M<\/td><td>The largest request PHP accepts. Keep it higher than <code>upload_max_filesize<\/code>.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><code>max_input_vars<\/code><\/td><td>3000<\/td><td>How many fields a form can send. Large menus and Elementor pages need more than the default 1000.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-change-these-values\">How to Change These Values<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where you change these settings depends on your host. Many hosting control panels (cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin) have a PHP settings page, which is the safest place to edit them. If you have file access, you can use one of these methods instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>php.ini or .user.ini<\/strong> (most hosts):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>max_execution_time = 300\nmax_input_time = 300\nupload_max_filesize = 64M\npost_max_size = 128M\nmax_input_vars = 3000\nmemory_limit = 512M<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>.htaccess<\/strong> (only on Apache servers running PHP as an Apache module; on other setups these lines cause a 500 error, so remove them if that happens):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>php_value max_execution_time 300\nphp_value max_input_time 300\nphp_value upload_max_filesize 64M\nphp_value post_max_size 128M\nphp_value max_input_vars 3000<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>wp-config.php<\/strong>, to raise WordPress&#8217;s own memory limit. Add this line above <code>\/* That's all, stop editing! *\/<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress cannot use more memory than your server allows, so if the new limit does not show in Site Health, ask your host to raise PHP&#8217;s <code>memory_limit<\/code> as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"check-your-settings\">Check Your Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After making changes, open <strong>Tools &gt; Site Health &gt; Info<\/strong> and expand <strong>Server<\/strong> and <strong>WordPress Constants<\/strong> to confirm the new values.
