I just purchased Newspaper 7 today. Before I get to deep into building my site, I wanted to see if you could clear up a question. IF I install one of the 20 demos included, and start adding content to my site, but at some point I decide to change to a different demo, does that DELETE all my content on my site. I’m reading on the Demo install page and it says the following, “If you decide to change the demo or uninstall it, the import system will make sure that you website is clean: no additional sidebars, menus or content. It will leave your website just like it was before you installed the demo.” By reading that it sounds like it would remove all my content. Is that true? If so, is there a way to keep your content safe and install a different demo?
Thanks!
Hi,
None of you own content will be deleted by the theme. When you install a demo, there is an option to include content like posts, menus etc. If you uninstall the demo the import system will remove only the included demo content not your own, then you can choose to install a different demo and add your content, or create your own pages using the customizing possibilities of Visual Composer. You can change the demos without any concerns regarding you own content because it won’t be affected.
Thanks
Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, if I change demos, you say it won’t lose my content. But when you go to the new demo, does the content automatically get added to the appropriate page or post, and do I select the NO Content option or the with Content option? Are you saying I have to add all my content back to the new demo manually, post by post?
Also, if I’m starting from scratch, when I select the no content option, I noticed that it does not give the actual placeholders for each item from the demo. I thought it would, but it’s just blank. It almost looks as if I’m am starting the page with nothing on it at all. So if I do add a Post, it just looks like a typical post. Is the only way to get the format that the demo provides to actually use the demo with content and remove and add my own?
Thanks!
Hi,
The demos are available so you can see the possibilities of what you can create using the theme. Uninstalling the demo will remove everything belonging to it, the content included and all it’s settings.
If you install a demo without content it adds only the settings. Then you could choose a page template in Visual Composer – http://screencast.com/t/QkeamCr8gE1 and easily create a page with predefined layout, or create your own pages and add your content. You just have to experiment until you create something you like.
Thanks
