How to Import Dummy Data?

2. After Installing the plugin, Click Activate button
3. Open AF Companion which appears in you Dashboard.
4. Then, Click on Import Option of the Demo

Server error 504 – Gateway timeout

This means, that the server did not get a timely response and so it stopped with the current import. What you can try is to run the same import again. If you get the same error, you can try to run the same import a few times. A couple of import tries might finish the import till the end, becaue your server will be able to process the import data in smaller chunks.

Note: If your website has genuine content already, it is not recommended to import the dummy data. Make sure, you are building a new website from scratch before importing the dummy data.
