After the installation and activation of the TM Wizard plugin you will get a notice, offering you to continue the plugins and demo contents installation with the help of TM Wizard. Click on Start Install on the top of the page to start installation of the recommended plugins.
On the Wizard Home page you can check if your server configurations meet WordPress minimal requirements. If any of them fails the checking, you still can continue the installation process, but it will take more time and can drive to bugs.
You can see such message on screenshot below:
Note! We strongly recommend that you contact your hosting provider to change the server settings.
If your server configurations meet WordPress minimal requirements, press the Next link.
Then you will see a page with all the skins available. You will notice 3 buttons next to the skins thumbnails:

Click Select Skin button next to the skin you wish to install to start skin installation process.
Each theme comes with lite and full version of sample content:
If you want to fill the website with your content and optimally install it, use the Lite Install.
The full version of the template will be suitable for you if you need its complete functionality, without any of the additional settings. In this case click on Full Install.
Note!If your server configurations don’t meet the WordPress minimal requirements and you couldn’t install Full Version, try the Lite one.
Green Install Plugin box means the installation process has been successfully completed.
Red Install Plugin box means the installation process hasn’t been completed. Press the Details link to see where the problem is.
After plugins installation you will get a notice which offers to append demo content to your existing content or completely rewrite it. Select appropriate option and click on the Start button.
Note!If you select Replace my existing content with demo content your whole content will be completely and irreversibly deleted!
If you select ‘Replace my existing content with demo content’ you will have to enter your WordPress admin panel password to confirm and start content replacing. Then the sample data import will start.
On the next step TM Wizard plugin regenerates thumbnails for all the imported images.
Import is finished. TM Wizard plugin offers you either to View your site or Customize your theme.
