Hi Since website speed is extremely important to us we are preparing to disable the standard package. We have a lot of content on the website. What would be the best approach to start this process? It’s not completely clear after reading the documentation how to start with this. We install the pro default demo (without content)? But when I tried this, this is messing up quite a few things on our current designs. We need to rework every single blogpost with a cloud template? What is the easiest way to do this?
thanks

Hello !
In order to switch from standard pack to the new layouts you will have to do some design adjustments.
First of all we recommend you creating a backup of your website !
You can try, deactivate the Standard pack and see what elements are left in your composer. You may see many shortcodes but don’t worry, that is normal.
Deactivating standard pack means that all the functionality from theme panel will be moved in the tagDiv Composer, so basically the theme panel will have only 2-3 functions. Everything you want to customize you will have to do it via tagDiv Composer.
You can either install a pro demo ( which will apply all the necessary templates ) or install the templates one by one.
For Pages / Footer Page:
First step to set up your new page is to go into Cloud Library – Add New, choose the design you want and import it into your theme. In order to edit your template you will have to go into Pages – Choose the page and select “ Edit with TD-Composer
If you want to use your own page design and not import a new one, you will need to replicate your existing blocks with the new flex block elements replacing the old blocks and grids. There are many block designs available already created with the new implementation so you do not need to start from scratch, You can find theme here: https://www.screencast.com/t/qShqAhycqqBW . All of the Standard Pack elements can be replicated using the new Flex Blocks and Grids.
For the Header, 404 Page, Attachment Template, Author, Category, Date, Search, Single Post and Tag templates:
First step to set up your Tag template is to go into Cloud Library – Add New, choose the design you want and import it into your theme. In order to edit your template you will have to go into Cloud Template – All Templates – Hover over Header Template and select Edit Template
I personally would recommend you to create a localhost or a test site where you can activate your theme and start making the modifications there first so you won’t face issues on your live site.
I hope this was more helpful !
Thank you !
