I'm a new SO user, and therefore I can't comment on the question itself, but I think I can help. Forgive me if I post an answer that is actually a comment, but I think that's my best option. I'll edit this question to become an answer once things have been clarified.

Your phrase, "I imported a database to my wordpress dashboard" doesn't exactly make sense. Where was the data initially? What sort of data was in it? What tool are you using to do the import?

Answer 2

You are missing the required WordPress plugin:

• install and activate plugin Contact Form 7
• import the theme again...
