Troubleshooting
↑ Back to topQ. I’m getting a “The data or product page is invalid.” error message while importing, what does it mean and how can i fix it?
A. This error message comes when you try to import from a page other than the product detail page that you want to import. To import products one by one you need to be on the product detail page that you want to import or else you will get this error message.
Q. I’m getting a “Connection error” error message, what does it mean and how can i fix it?
A. This error message appears for many reasons, it means that your import request could not be completed.
- It is possible that the import request was blocked by your server’s security settings like ModSecurity or by an installed security plugin like Wordfence in your WordPress with 403 “Forbidden” http code. You need to either disable this security setting/plugin or whitelist the plugin import link in it.
- Your server may have refused the import request with 413 “Request Entity Too Large” http code. This will require increasing the respective limit on your server.
- If you get this error then you can contact us, we will surely help you to fix the problem after checking.
