    I have tried several times now to import the themedutch_notime_dump.sql file in PHP MyAdmin, but I constantly get this error message: “You didn’t enter any data to import!”

    I have successfully uploaded the dummy content images through FTP, but nothing is changed on the site because the PHPMyAdmin has not changed the content of the tables in the database.

    Please help!

    Could I use a copy of the dummy content xml file from before the update?

    Hello M.A. Bell,

    You can use the information below to install dummy content. If you still not manage to install it, we refer to our installation plans.http://theme-dutch.com/services/installation-plans/

    Compatibility

    Please be sure to check compatibility of your WordPress version with the version of NOTIME that you are using. You can check the compatibility on the NOTIME Themeforest page.

    Information for Internet Explorer users

    NOTIME using the latest in web standards, and this template uses CSS v.3. Internet Explorer – versions 8 and below do not support the latest web standards.

    Installation

    This tutorial section assumes that you have purchased the NOTIME theme, and have successfully installed the theme and activated it on your WordPress blog. Upon purchase of the NOTIME theme, you will be downloading a zip-file with the filename ‘’NOTIME – unzip me please’’.

    1. Unzip the downloaded NOTIME zip-file and extract it to any local directory on your computer.

    2. Navigate to, and open the unzipped folder. You’ll find 3 zipped folders, a LICENCING FOLDER and one READ ME! File.

    3. You can either extract and copy the unzipped NOTIME folder directly into your WP_THEMES FOLDER on your site, or alternatively install the zip through theWordpress ‘INSTALL THEMES’ PANEL

    Further instructions are contained in the NOTIME Manual.

    Dummy Content

    Once you’ve downloaded the theme and extracted the zip file, you will find under the UNZIP ME PLEASE folder, a folder called dummy content. Instructions for how to set up the dummy content are located in that folder along with the themedutch_notime_dump.sql file.

    The dummy content is very graphic intensive. Be sure to check with your webhost provider to make sure there are no file size limitations before trying to install the dummy content.

    To install the NOTIME dummy content you will need access to your phpMyAdmin software and know how to inject the SQL file.

    For more information about phpMyAdmin you can visit their project page here: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/

    NOTIME Demo Content

    You can view the NOTIME demo here - http://themeforest.net/item/notime-business-portfolio-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/3680229

    Best wishes,

    I have followed all the instructions above - the theme installed easily and is activated and functioning. It is running on a clean install of WordPress 3.5, which is specified in the documentation.

    I have read the manual as well as the .rtf file on dummy content installation.

    The images uploaded properly through ftp and are visible on the server.

    The problem occurs when I attempt to import the “themedutch_notime_dump.sql” file in phpMyAdmin. I am familiar with the process of brining a backup into MySql through phpMyAdmin and have done so successfully with dummy content for other themes as well as with backups of sites that I have coded. In this case, however, I consistently get an error message.

    I understand that there was at one time an XML file that could be used to populate the dummy content. Is that still available somewhere? If so, I’d like to try it, if you can either send me a copy or direct me to a link where I can download it.

    I appreciate that you are in business to make money, but please understand that, having purchased the theme, I expect more from you than just to be referred to a plan I must buy to help with this problem.

    I have uploaded the dummy content with the help of tech support at my host - the problem was as I suspected that the dummy content uses the default wp_ table prefix and my database does not.

    Now there are users listed in phpMyAdmin that I do not recognize (ike, lenur, and jeorge), and my own user information is no longer there, so I cannot login to the dashboard.

    Any suggestions?
