Upgraded from 7.4 to 8.
Tried out two of the demos, but what am i missing? I watched the video, read the docs, but all it changed (visually at least) was colours, menus and fonts. how do i get the actual page layouts complete with all the blocks used in the demo? No additional pages have been created and it hasn’t applied any of that layout to my own pages, just made them corrupt and look ridiculous.
Uninstalling hasn’t worked at all well, it is all over the shop and even after a few hours tweaking it still looks like an amateurish development of a freeby theme.
I’ve had to put it in maintenance mode so hoping for some quick answers.
Hello,
Did you receive any errors when installing or uninstalling the theme demos? A demo can be installed with or without content. If you need the dummy data please select the option to install it with content: https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/

thanks for the reply bogdan.
no errors at all (other than i can´t activate it which i reported on another post).
it has been a long weekend of battle against the theme, but i´m pretty well there now. some specific quirks still outstanding.
i can´t get any full grid to work for example so i´ve had to go boxed. doing my best to go with the tag div composer, but i´m really not feeling it.
worst of it is that despite having less on homepage now than in old theme, my pagespeed has slumped from 85 to 58 desktop – and the 58 is having worked super cache settings beyond your theme recommended which were giving me 51.
my feedback is that some more realistic notes would be better. the video and docs give the impression that the upgrade/switch and a new demo is a job to complete in minutes. It is hugely more complicated than that. It is a set aside a weekend job – and a good 10 hours of that could have been avoided with better documentation, a coherent start to finish tutorial instead of scattered docs and videos which leave you coming across essential info that you had no way of knowing existed until something goes wrong and you start hunting.
I hope you´ll take that to whoever decides these things at td
OK, but you still did not mention what exactly is the problem. What is happening? Why can’t you install a demo in 2 minutes like everybody else? You simply press the install demo button and the demo begins installing with or without content. Why does this process take weeks? Pleas provide more details and if yu require specific aid, contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to your site and wp-admin so we can login and investigate.
As for full grids, please make sure your site is not boxed. Adding any at all background image or color (including white) will cause the theme to go into boxed mode. Please remove any image and press the clear button for the background color in the theme panel under colors section. Now you can use the stretch row and content feature of the row settings inside the tagdiv composer settings.
Thanks.
