I am trying to import the theme unit test data to my wordpress install but have encountered a common problem with this error, Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in C:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-includes\Requests\ Transport\cURL.php on line 461 I have searched forums, online resources and have tried changing the set-time well over 60 secs with no avail. I do hope there is someone out there with an answer to my problem Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Moderator [t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) * (@t-p) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-test-data-fatal-error/#post-7707737) * This means that it is taking to longer for a process to complete and it is timing out. There are a number of ways to fix this error. * Try reviewing this: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Common_WordPress_Errors#Maximum_execution_time_exceeded](https://codex.wordpress.org/Common_WordPress_Errors#Maximum_execution_time_exceeded) * [Dion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diondesigns/) * (@diondesigns) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-test-data-fatal-error/#post-7707755) * Is the URL of the test data you’re importing a secure ([https://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-test-data-fatal-error/?output_format=md)) URL? If so, the PHP curl extension on Windows-based Apache/PHP installations does not natively support secure URL access if PHP is set up as an Apache module( mod_php). * This can be fixed by copying the libssh2.dll file from your PHP installation directory to the Apache installation directory. You must do a copy…the file must exist in both Apache and PHP. * Once you do this, your WordPress installation will have access to the plugin/ theme libraries at wordpress.org, and will be able to perform core updates. * Thread Starter [bodd54](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bodd54/) * (@bodd54) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-test-data-fatal-error/#post-7707824) * Hi Tara, had already done as advised during my original search through the forums and I am still getting this error message; Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in C:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-includes\Requests\Transport\ cURL.php on line 162 * Hi DionDesigns, the theme unit test data is an xml document downloaded from the codex at wordpress, I have tried to install using the tools -> Import -> wordpress run importer.
