Themes and demo import
Fixes for the most common import and setup problems.
Why do I see a white screen when I import demo content?
Usually
max_execution_timeis too low. The default is 30 seconds and Anglo needs at least 120. Raise it in one place:set_time_limit( 120 );in wp-config.php,php_value max_execution_time 120in .htaccess, ormax_execution_time = 120in php.ini.If it still happens, send us a support request.

Raise

Aitpas guideallow_url_fopen) and run the import again. You can also import without media and upload the images yourself.The homepage looks unstyled after the import
Go to Elementor → Tools → Regenerate CSS, then clear any caching plugin.
Aitpas guideWhy can't I save my menu?
WordPress limits how many menu items it accepts in one save, and the demo content has many. Ask your host to add these lines to php.ini:
Anglo guidesuhosin.post.max_vars 5000andsuhosin.request.max_vars 5000.My imported menus do not show
Open Appearance → Menus and check that the imported menu is assigned to the correct theme location.
Aitpas guideWhy is a smiley displayed on blank pages?
This is usually caused by the Jetpack plugin or by too little server memory. Disable Jetpack, or raise your memory limit.
Anglo guideWhich PHP settings do you recommend?
Many problems, such as white screens, failed demo imports and empty page content, come from low PHP limits. The Anglo guide recommends at least:
max_execution_time 1200,memory_limit 500M,post_max_size 64Mandupload_max_filesize 128M.Change them yourself or ask your host. Your current values are in Tools → Site Health → Info → Server.

See the plansHow do I turn widgets on or off?
Go to Sifency Addons → Elementor Widgets. Switch single widgets on or off, or use Enable All and Disable All in a category tab. Then click Save Changes. Turning off widgets you do not use keeps the Elementor panel tidy and avoids loading code you do not need.

How do I activate my license?
In WordPress go to Sifency Addons → Dashboard (or Settings) and find the License Activation card. Enter your license key, which looks like
