 * Hello Friends!
    I have a problem when Import WordPress posts and other data using‘
   wordpress-importer’ it says:
 * “Sorry, there has been an error.
 * File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also
   be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini or by post_max_size being
   defined as smaller than upload_max_filesize in php.ini.”
 * I added this code in wp-config file, but it not doesn’t work, the code is:
    [
   define(‘post_max_size’, ’32M’); define(‘upload_max_filesize’, ’32M’);] what can
   I do? Thanks in advance

    “[PHP] post_max_size=64M
   upload_max_filesize=32M” but all in west.
