# Force second install attempt

 * Hi, thanks for this awesome plugin.
 * I’ve configured the demo files to my theme, thanks to the instructions of the
   official page on Github. In my case, after some import tests, I found that I 
   always get a 500 error on first install. But if I refresh the page and try to
   import again, it install everything as I need. So I wonder, is there some way
   to automatically force a second install attempt if the first install fails?
 * Cheers,
    Eduardo

 * Just adding info: in last case, a Javascript solution to force a second install
   is acceptable, like: if 500 error, click again on certain button to restart install
   proccess, hide the error and etc.

 * Hi Eduardo,
 * that would not be a good solution to your problem.
 * It’s better to find the cause of the issue and fix that…
 * How long does the first demo import take? What does the log file in wp-admin -
   > Media say after first import?
 * Is everything imported after the second import? Is there a broken image?
 * Did you try this importing on the same hosting server? Maybe the server is at
   fault (it runs out of memory or it has other limitations?).
 * Take care!
