Will Demo Data delete my data, or not?

[Elizabeth]

Hi,

In the documentation for the Nora theme, it states that importing Demo Data will not delete any existing posts or pages, categories or other data. But when I click on the tool to import Demo Data within the theme customizer, I get a warning that demo data will override my existing content. Which is true? I read the documentation and concluded that I didn’t need to do that right away because I could safely do it later. Now I want to, and I’m afraid I’m going to lose the work I’ve already done.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Libby

Hi Elizabeth,

Yes, it will delete you existing setting and content. So better you create staging site and test importer out there and again resetup the setting original site.

Let us know if you have any problems on this.

Thanks

Thanks, I’ve done this but the import isn’t working. When I hit “import Demo” in the appearance customizer, I get a new page with this message:

The address wasn’t understood

Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (javascripte) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.

You might need to install other software to open this address.

The link location for the button is: javascripte:void(0);

Hi Elizabeth,

We are really sorry for this, due to transfer of our website we unfortunately lost data for importer. Here i have attached you xml file for WordPress content and widgets. Please use WordPress importer to import nora.wordpress.2017-06-09.xml and widgets importer & exporter plugin to import widgets setting.

Let us know if you find any problems with this.

Note: Please make sure you installed all plugin attached to the file: plugins-list and later after importing widgets and post/pages you need to set up for menus and front page.

Thanks

Hi, picking this up again. How do I install this demo data file? Do I just put it in the website files and then use the built-in demo importer again? Any particular location? thanks.

Hi Elizabeth,

First of all install the WordPress Importer plugin and import all post/pages and nora.wordpress.2017-06-09.xml from the below attached zip file.
Again you need to install widgets importer & exporter plugin to import widgets settings i.e; widgets-data.wie file from the below attached zip file.

Note: Please make sure you installed all the plugins attached to the file and later after importing widgets and post/pages you need to set up settings for menus and front page.

Hopefully it works!

Thanks

Hi,

I already tried these steps to intall all plugins and import the attached demo content file, but I do not see any new content in the site. For what it’s worth, I do not need Woo Commerce data, just various types of pages.

After I ran the WordPress import, I got the following message:

Hello Elizabeth,

Please import the xml file only and try again if it works or not. You can ignore the errors set up the menus and front page and try again and let us know what steps are you following.

Thanks!

Tried it again. Importer the XML file using WordPress Importer, and checked the box to include attachments. I got the following message about the import, and no new posts or pages appeared. I still only have Sample Page and Hello World post so not much to adjust in the menu and home page settings.

Have you installed all the plugin listed on the screenshot, could you please check for the list of plugin here:
https://www.styledthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/plugins-list.png

Those error might be due to the lack of mighty tools plugin and woocommerce plugin. YOu can find mighty tools plugin on your account page: https://www.styledthemes.com/my-account/

Please find the attached file for might tools plugin.

NOTE: if you do not want woocommmerce to installed then you can just ignore product related error while importing. For an example Failed to import product_tag Women. Similarly if you do not want might tools plugin to installed then you can ignore portfolio related error.

Thanks
