I just imported the demo data (Hello Coach) according to the instructions and got the following notification:
“Error: Widget import data could not be read. Please try a different file.”
The demo import has finished, but there were some import errors.

What program are you using to do the import? We recommend One Click Demo Import, or the traditional WordPRess Importer, and WordPRess Widget Importer

I actually uploaded the OTHER demo content (1 instead of 2) the exact same way and had no issues, so I think there’s an issue with the file vs. the process. I was importing with the Appearance–> Import Demo Data per the tutorial. Again, demo content 2 worked just fine.
