As this is a commercial theme, we cannot really help. You need to seek support from the theme vendors.
esmi Thank you for your quick response. I have tried several times to get an answer from the vendor and have not gotten one. Thought I could get some help here.

That’s probably because they have a for-cost installation option.
The problem is that we have no idea why the theme includes an sql dump file and whether that file adds, or amends, records in the default WP database tables or whether it creates it’s own table. Can you tell from the dump file?
Chip – they do have a paid for option but they also have a template support desk and when I have asked them questions we mysteriously get disconnected or they tell me that they are going to transfer me to an advanced technical expert (and I never get a response). I do not mind paying for the support I just want a straight answer that I need to.
esmi – From my understanding the sql file is to make the template look exactly like the demo online. So when you load the sql file all of the content, pictures, widgets, etc. are put into your WordPress site. These are the tables that are being modified by the sql file:
Dumping data for table wp_commentmeta
Dumping data for table wp_comments
Dumping data for table wp_contact_form_7
Dumping data for table wp_links
Dumping data for table wp_options
Dumping data for table wp_postmeta
Dumping data for table wp_posts
Dumping data for table wp_terms
Dumping data for table wp_term_relationships
Dumping data for table wp_term_taxonomy
Dumping data for table wp_usermeta
Dumping data for table wp_wpsb_users
In theory, you could use the site’s current url and then follow the instructions for Moving_WordPress when it was time to upload the site to its final destination.
esmi, thank you for your help. The instructions for Moving WordPress worked perfectly!
