Import manually

Prepare necessary files

Each demo consists of 3 components: content, settings and widgets. Content and settings take up 85 - 95%. Hence each demo require 3 files:

  1. customizer.dat
  2. content.xml
  3. widgets.wie

Before importing, visit the demo list, find the demo you want to import, then download 3 required files. Note: File names might be different, but you only need to pay attention to file extensions (dat for customizer, xml for content, *wie for widgets)

Visit demo list

Step 1: Import XML content

  1. Go to Dashboard > Tools > Import > Install WordPress Importer. After that, Run Importer.
  2. Upload the conten.xml file, hit “Upload file and import”.
  3. Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Menus, then assign menus to Primary Menu location and Footer Menu location.

Step 2: Import Customizer settings

  1. Install Customizer Export/Import plugin, activate it.
  2. Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Customize > Export/Import > Choose file customizer.dat you’ve prepared, then hit Submit. After importing, you’ll see a dead screen. Don’t worry, just ignore it. You can close that tab, or refresh it.

Part 3: Import widgets

  1. Install Widget Importer & Exporter plugin
  2. Go to Dashboard > Tools > Widget Importer & Exporter then upload widgets.wie file you prepared, then hit “Import Widgets”.
  3. You might see the error message “Specified file failed upload..” after uploading wie file. Please go “Back”. Then hit “copy and paste” the contents of .wie file. Open your widgets.wie file, copy & paste its content then hit Import Widgets* again. Now it’ll work.
