Any problems?
This theme size is XMB
If when you are uploading your theme you have any problems or you have seen any messages related to the limit of the memory of the PHP in your server, we advise you to install the theme from a FTP or to contact your hosting provider so it can enlarge the memory and eventually be able to upload your file.
3. Import the demo
You only have to upload the child theme through a FTP or from the section upload theme. Once you have activated it you will find a new option in your menu called “Import demo data > Easy Demo Import”. Through this new section you can import every necessary file for the theme to be shown correctly.
Select every option (by default they are all selected) and click “Import demo content” at the bottom of the page.
Stuck at the “Media Files to Import” step?
In some hostings the import process get stuck at the step “Media Files to Import”. If that is your case, don’t worry. Just refresh the page and click again the button “Import demo content”. The process will start again from that point will end correctly.
Page loader
The page loader uses the configured logo in Divi’s options. By default, the import demo content uses an image with the text’ John Doe’. To change this go to Admin Panel > Divi > Theme Options > General > Logo and upload the image you want to display while the page is loading.
