  • The import process may take several minutes due to large data and your server capacity. If your server setting "Max Execution Time" is too low, increase it (as your hosting provider). Please do not close the browser until it finishes. If it fails, you can run this process again until seeing the "Success Message".
    Demo Images are not installed due to some copyrighted licenses
