To import a theme demo manually, upload (by FTP or Filemanager) demo.zip in folder /wp-content/uploads/fw-backup (create fw-backup if it does not exist), then go to WP-Admin > Tools > Backup, select the file you have uploaded and click restore
This will completely replace/overwrite your existing website with the theme demo. It's the best way to get started.
I can see now the demo data, I guess the Problem occurs if one change the default table prefix from wp_ to something else. I just installed wordpress new , added the theme and imported the demo.zip without changing the prefix, than it work.
I'm starting new with the page, so for the moment I#m fine with it.
What I always recommend when using a new WordPress theme is to develop the "new" website on a staging server with a fresh copy of WordPress. So start with a clean copy of WordPress, install the theme and its demo. By doing this, your existing website will continue to run, and you will have all the time you want to develop/design the new website on your staging server.
You could also export/import the old blog posts of your old website onto your new website by going to WP-Admin > Tools > Import/Export.
When you are ready to launch your new website, you will just have to point your domain name to the staging server so it becomes your new "live" server.
I installed he theme, activated it and 0wanted to import the demo data, but still always getting :
Maximum execution time of 10 seconds exceeded in E:userhorst2_desktop_only2_stormhammerxamphtdocswordpresswp-includesclass-wpdb.php on line 2349I increased the values in php.ini., .htaccess, wp-config.php, but still got the same error message.
the import stops with table post meta, at 7438 records.
I increase memory limit to 4096 in php.ini
Hi Max,
I'm developing on my local workstation, there is no chance to give you access to my installation, because it is not public reachble.
I'm developing with an xampp installation.
Which theme demo are you trying to import ?
Thanks,

d the import said, see error.log, but I cann't find an error.log, except mysql errorlog with no information
Here is the file for the theme demo : https://drops.sonaar.io/f/E1xEPD

Hello Max,
I could import the backup, but I still don't see any demo data.
my wpinstalltion tables have prefix sh_, the imported tables look like this:
I hve 58 tables, about 20800 rows
Sorry for this, id need to investigate and need access to your dashboard.
I recommend you take your site online, or develop your website on a staging server instead of locally.

Hello Max,
I added the site to a dev server:
http://skullz.stormhammer.de/
but, i tried it also locally.
I can see now the demo data, I guess the Problem occurs if one change the default table prefix from wp_ to something else. I just installed wordpress new , added the theme and imported the demo.zip without changing the prefix, than it work.
I'm starting new with the page, so for the moment I#m fine with it.
Hi another question:
