Summa Theme allows you to import any of the demos with one click via the Theme Setup Wizard. You can choose or select an options to import data.

1. In your WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to Appearance → Summa Setup
2. Go to the Import Demo Content step on setup wizard and select data you want to import
3. Click on Import button to import data

Note: The more images a demo imports, the longer the import will take. Because of this, if your demo fails to import, it’s most likely because your server PHP max_execution_time setting is set too low. max_execution_time can normally be set to 40 seconds to prevent server lockups from unresponsive scripts. If your demo import fails after loading for a little, you’ll need to increase it to at least 100 seconds to allow the import to complete. If you’re unfamiliar with editing PHP settings, your hosting company will be able to handle this for you.
