🌐 Import Demo Content

You can import demo content using one of the following methods:

  1. One-Click Demo Import – Automatic & Recommended
  2. Manual XML Import – For advanced users or fallback cases

Go to Dashboard → Settings → Permalinks, select Post name under Common Settings, and click Save Changes.

🔒 This step is critical as the property search system relies on pretty permalinks.

Permalink Settings

🚀 Step 2 – Start Import Process

Go to Dashboard → Appearance → Import Demo Data
Click on the Import Demo Data button to begin, and on the next page click on Continue & Import.

⏳ Please wait while demo images and data are fetched from the remote server. This may take a few minutes depending on your connection and server speed.

✅ Step 3 – Done

Once the import completes, you’ll see a success screen.
Visit your site and it should now look like the theme demo.

Import Complete

📝 Note: The imported content is a simplified version of the full demo to ensure faster import. It includes all necessary content but with fewer items.

🛠️ Manual XML Import (Alternative Method)

Use this method only if the one-click importer fails or you prefer manual setup.

📄 Step 1 – Install WordPress Importer

Go to Dashboard → Tools → Import
Click WordPress at the bottom of the list.

Choose WordPress Importer

You will be prompted to install the WordPress Importer Plugin.

Install Importer

After installation, click Activate Plugin & Run Importer.

Run Importer

📁 Step 2 – Upload XML File

  1. Locate the Import XML folder inside your extracted theme package.
  2. Choose either the default-demo or fallback-demo folder – both contain the same data but are hosted on different servers.
  3. Upload the content.xml file.

Choose XML File

During the import:

  • Assign posts to an existing author
  • Check the box to Download and import file attachments
  • Click Submit

Import XML Settings

⚠️ The process may take a few minutes. Stay on the same browser tab until it finishes.

🧭 Step 3 – Setup Navigation Menu

Go to Dashboard → Appearance → Menus

  1. Select the menu that was imported with the demo content.
  2. Assign it to the Primary Menu location under Menu Settings.
  3. Click Save Menu.

Assign Menu

🏠 Step 4 – Configure Reading Settings

Go to Dashboard → Settings → Reading

  • Set Your homepage displays to A static page
  • Set Homepage to Home
  • Set Posts page to News

It’s a good idea to revisit Dashboard → Settings → Permalinks
Ensure Post name is selected and save again.

🎛️ Import Theme Options & Widgets (Optional)

To complete your setup:

  • Import theme-options.txt for theme settings.
  • Import widgets.wie for sidebar and footer widgets.

You’ll need this plugin to import widgets:
🔌 Widget Importer & Exporter

✅ Once done, your site should closely match the demo and be ready for customization!
