I bought Newspaper a month ago, and after feeling overwhelmed with it I just parked the idea and went back to my old theme. I can’t quite work out the order of things… do I need to activate the theme before I can use the ‘Theme Panel’ to customize? I currently get a message saying “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.”
I like the look of the coffee demo, but how do I go about installing it with my existing content? I’ve read through so much of the tutorial info and just can’t work it out. I’m nervous to press the activate button and find my site looks like crap for a week while I work all this stuff out live. Is there no way of previewing before I press the button? In live preview mode I can’t edit anything!!
Anyone’s help would be greatly appreciated. I’m not usually so easily defeated by technology!
Hi,
That message you are receiving is a WordPress message, not coming from the theme. Admins have access to all the settings of the website, so if you are the admin the problem is caused by something else. I found some topics you can follow

– https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/247039/how-do-i-fix-the-sorry-you-are-not-allowed-to-access-this-page-error-i-get-on

The theme activation is in no relation to that message. If you do not activate it, there will be a constant notification displayed as you write or edit posts for example.
Also be sure to check the theme requirements panel, for optimal functionality

Installing a demo is possible in 2 ways. Either install it with content (this will import the demo homepage and dummy content, theme panel settings etc)or install it without content (it will not provide the homepage, the rest will be the same).
Installing it with content will require more work from your part. The homepage will be provided just like in the demo, but it will display dummy content. You will then have to edit the page and edit blocks, grids etc to display your own content. Also set your own menus, logos etc.
Another way would be to install the demo without content, and instead of rebuilding the homepage copy the homepage structure of the demo. Like mentioned in these topics
