whats the best way to retrieve these?
Did you import the demo with content? Uninstall it and install it afresh without content. The other option is to edit the homepage of the demo with td composer to include your content, then go to WordPress admin dashboard under posts, pages, posts>categories and appearance>menus and delete the imported demo content manually.
so i did that and it only had the posts I had as drafts but didnt publish. The ones I published are gone
Hi,
When installing a new demo, your posts (the ones you create) are not affected. If you install a demo with content, there will be demo content imported included some posts. When the demo is uninstalled these demo posts are removed, they are for demo purposes only.
So basically only demo posts are affected, your posts will not be touched in any way. Do not edit demo posts and use them, they will be removed when uninstalling the demo.
For some reason the posts weren’t there when i switched from one demo to another. They weren’t in the trash either…any suggestions of another way to dig them up?
So you lost posts that you created? That would mean there are problems with the website database where posts are kept.
As I mentioned above, only imported posts by the demo will be removed when a demo is uninstalled. You own created posts will not be touched. Unless maybe you edited the dummy posts from the demo instead of creating new ones, if you did that then the posts are lost

Only if made a full backup before could they be restored.
This seems unfortunately not correct. As a test, I did create a new home page cloning the demo page but when I removed the demo also the newly created page was gone. Why?
Please specify all the steps you took, I will try it on my side as well. Pages you create with the add new page button will not be affected by a theme demo. Only pages added (imported) by the demo will be affected.
