Hosting TroubleShooting
Are there any alternatives for importing dummy data?
First, try to install WordPress & the theme on your localhost ( how to install wordpress on localhost - video tutorials )
Then, import the dummy data. It should run properly and smoothly on localhost.
After the installation is done, install the plugin called "All in one WP Migration" and begin initiating the migration process ( video example here ).
Then you will need to upload the migration packages and migrate them online, onto your server and follow the installation instructions.

General Questions
Why doesn't the background-video load onto my smartphone?
That's the normal behaviour actually. Only a poster image (static) will be displayed. That's because videos on smartphones or general smartphone operating systems are very problematic. Some of the problems are:
- They take over the video, modify the z-layering structure, for example z-index. This alone generates a ton of problems;
- OS's add own controls which are built-in the operating system and are not customisable;
- Can't autoplay a video (bandwidth consumption protection)
- Can't override any system option.
What will do work is videos that are inside a player, for example a video that's launched in a modal window, or a video embeded into the article.
So basically a video background should do what it supposed to, to display a video in the background. Unfortunately the problems of having them enabled on mobiles are too big so this is turned off by default.
