Please Goto Apperence >> Import Demo Data and click the button to import demo content
Note:
1) We encourage you to install fresh and latest version of Wordpress.
2) This Export Data does a lot of thing, but there are a few things that it currently doesn’t do. It doesn’t export any settings that aren’t stored in the database as theme mods, which means that it doesn’t currently export widgets or settings such as the built-in “Site Title & Tagline”.
