How to Import Demo Data in WordPress

We are going to explain today the Install/Import of Demo Data/Content/Dummy Data/Sample Data/XML on WordPress themes.

Demo or Dummy Data is the theme content that needs to be imported to your WordPress for the Theme to function and to be displayed properly. The Demo Data importer depends on the technology that the theme is using. Manually you can import the Demo Data on Dashboard > Your Theme > Import/Export (Dummy Data). Here you choose your demo and install it.

But today we are showing how you can do this with examples. We are taking into consideration Folie Theme, Specular Theme and Bridge Theme. Let's get started!
