Import Demo Contents

The easiest and most efficient way to set up your site like the demo is by using the One Click Demo Import feature. Follow the steps below carefully:

🔧 Step 1: Set Permalinks to “Post Name”

Before importing any demo content, go to: Dashboard → Settings → Permalinks
Select the option: Post name, and click Save Changes.

Permalinks

This step is crucial. The demo import process is built to work with “pretty permalinks”. If you skip this, you may encounter issues with pages and menus after import.

📥 Step 2: Run the Demo Import

  1. Navigate to: Dashboard → Appearance → Import Demo Data

  2. Click the Import Demo Data button.

  3. (Optional) You can now deactivate and delete the One Click Demo Import plugin from the Plugins page.
