comment Import Wordpress XML File from Within Functions.php
I am not asking anyone to do "the work" for me. You should never make assumptions Anu, especially when they're untrue. I am asking for guidance as to the best possible way to do something in Wordpress. I've been a member of this site long enough Anu to know the difference between a question and asking for free work. Are you saying that my question isn't valid if it relates to a commercial undertaking? Am I not allowed to ask for help if it's in relation to a site I am getting paid to build? 90% of all questions on this site I am guessing are by freelancers...

Wow. Just wow. This is one of the most detailed and impressive answers I've ever seen on this site, kudos to you man. After spending half a day reading this, I've come to the conclusion this is the right way to go about things. You've given me a lot to think about, but this is definitely the right track to follow. Thanks for taking the time to leave this answer.

comment Import Wordpress XML File from Within Functions.php
Thanks for posting amolv. However, I'm not asking how to check if a theme has been activated (I'm already doing that). I'm more-so wanting to know how to automatically parse and import an XML file without user input.

comment WordPress dashboard, viewing CPT results in 504
That is an awful lot of memory to be assigning to Wordpress. Are you on shared hosting, a VPS or dedicated server? There could be deeper underlying issues here. Are you using Apache or another webserver like Nginx (perhaps both)?

comment Pass PHP variable to javascript
wp_localize_script is a very underused and powerful function for passing PHP values to a Javascript file. It's surprising not many people actually know about this powerful feature in Wordpress.

comment What is the best PHP plug in?
I think he's asking for a Wordpress plugin that allows PHP code to be executed not a plugin for PHP itself. Having said that, plugin recommendations aren't within the format of WPSE.

comment Import Wordpress XML File from Within Functions.php
Thanks Chris. The issue isn't finding a suitable hook for detecting when activating a theme (I've got that part sorted) it's finding a way to import an XML file automatically into Wordpress. I've got the XML file in a folder in my theme folder called, "importxml" I would preferably like to use the existing Wordpress importer, strip out the manual stuff and use it to load my XML file without the user needing to do anything.

Perfect Jake. This did the trick, thank you very much. I wasn't aware of the load-post.php hook.
