A common issue that can occur with users new to installing WordPress themes is a "Broken theme and/or stylesheets missing” error message being displayed when trying to upload or activate the theme. This error message does not mean that the theme you have purchased is broken, it simply means it has been uploaded incorrectly. Luckily, there is a very easy fix.

Home pages in Electro are built using page templates. ( Ref : https://docs.madrasthemes.com/electro/topics/set-up-pages/home-v1/home-v1-via-page-template/ ). This means there will be no content in the text editor area or visual composer back-end editor. The content is loaded from the template file and are configurable via page options meta-box that are present below the editor ( Ref : https://docs.madrasthemes.com/electro/topics/set-up-pages/home-v1/home-v1-via-page-template/#home-v1-page-options ). This makes sure that the home pages are independent of page editors.

However you can also build the home pages using visual composer or Elementor. For example, you can build home v1 by following the instructions given here : https://docs.madrasthemes.com/electro/topics/set-up-pages/home-v1/home-v1-via-visual-composer/ or here for Elementor : https://docs.madrasthemes.com/electro/topics/set-up-pages/home-v1/home-v1-via-elementor/

Instructions for Visual Composer: You need to paste the code given in the documentation into your child editor to generate the page using Visual Composer. Here is a video on how to paste the VC code from documentation into your page : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIsMoJmhKVo

When you import our dummy data you’ll have a website similar to this: https://demo.madrasthemes.com/electro/ which has placeholder images instead of actual images. We do not have the right to distribute the images, we only have the right to use them commercially. Hence our dummy content will contain only placeholder images instead of actual images.

Actual images take a lot of time to import and usually breaks the importer causing error 500 and other issues. Also, your website could be slapped with a DMCA notice in future if they find out about using copyrighted images. It is safer, better and faster to use placeholder images instead of actual images.
