    Using the theme “Total” I am unable to import sample data.

    Here are the exact steps I am following:
    In my dashboard –> tools –> wordpress importer –> select ‘sample data’ zip file –> upload

    “Sorry, there has been an error.
    This does not appear to be a WXR file, missing/invalid WXR version number”

    Can anyone please help me. I have wasted numerous hours trying to figure this out. No posts I can find on the internet about this topic include an actual solution that works for me.

    From the sound of it you have to unzip(right click on the folder and selected uncompress) the sample data zip folder, and then in the folder you can upload a file that should end in .xml

    Uploading a compressed .zip folder will not upload. Hope that helps resolve your issue.
