Some themes need activation before demo import. If so, their product page has an Activation link in the Instruction tab. Also check that your host allows at least 256MB of PHP memory and a 300-second max execution time. If the newest version fails, try the previous version from the product page.
First, make sure you followed the activation instructions on the product page. Still not working? Contact us and we’ll help you get it working.
Deactivate the plugin you just added and check again. Then contact us with the product name, your website URL and a screenshot of the error.
