I am having a problem updating H5P contents. My web server is located in China, and Wordpress.org is blocking IP coming from China. I think it was due to some over request traffic from China IP address. 

I always get  cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds . 

I know its an issue with my web server PHP setting, but I have no luck changing the 30second value. Anyway, Is there a way for me to upload the H5P Manually like FTP the files to the web directory?

Thanks

Hi Felix,

You can download the sample contents from the Examples page and upload it into the H5P editor. This will update the libraries as well. I suggest that you start with the more complex content types like Course Presentation and Column since it will also download the libraries for the contents that you can insert within them.

Yes, that worked. Thanks, BV

I spent the whole checking my server connection and setting, touching config files trying to figure the timeout issues. Only if I had post-it earlier it could save me tons of headache and time. 

Thanks again.

Hi Felix,

I'm glad the other content type works. If I'm not mistaken you are talking about Iframe Embedder, it is actually a content type that is not being actively developed due to unresponsiveness and it is not accesible.
