Recommended PHP Configuration Limits

Many issues that you may run into such as: white screen, demo content fails when importing, empty page content and other similar issues are all related to low PHP configuration limits. The solution is to increase the PHP limits. You can do this on your own, or contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows:

  • max_input_vars = 3000
  • memory_limit = 128M
  • max_execution_time = 300
  • max_input_time = 300
  • upload_max_filesize = 64M

In case you don't have time for experience with it, you can switch to "Classic Mode" and use one of the shortcode sets provided below to build your frontshop based on one of the pre-made home page we offer.

To create a page similar to Homepage in our the demo, choose the Classic Mode and switch to the Text tab, then paste this code into the content of your page:
