Answer 1

You are missing the required WordPress plugin:

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

Answer 2

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?
