Problems getting demo theme to work

I’ve installed the default demo theme at http://islingtonnow.co.uk (without the demo theme content, as there’s existing content there), as here https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/ — but it seems to have little effect on the home page, limited elsewhere, too. I’ve tried regenerating thumbnails (using the RG plugin).

I understand that the demo theme is supposed to install the formatting/layout of that demo theme — so What am I missing, please?

thanks

Thanks for replying. I was expecting the home page to look more like the (default) demo theme home page, with blocks etc — as it, the main part of the home page (excluding footer and the twitter sidebar) is simply a series of (the start of) stories.

Doesn’t a demo theme (without content) apply the structure/formatting/layout to existing content?

Am I missing something here?

thanks

Also, the demo theme here https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ seems to have the home page the same as the ‘news’ category? How would I set that up, given that installing the demo theme doesn’t set that, it seems…
thanks

Thanks, I think I understand now. So I need *first* to set up one or more pages, then select whichever I want?

One other point I’m stuck on: how to access/use the full range of elements — Big Grids, blocks etc — in tagdiv composer? I’ve been editing a page and can access/use the blocks but nothing else…

This is what I see in the ‘add element’ sidebar: https://www.evernote.com/l/AAsW0mgdajZCmqN3r_oDCOrcrYqIHPUn7Y0

Not the full range of elements that appear in your video, in which the user scrolls down a long list of elements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=51&v=N2wGizMz4X0 as here: https://www.evernote.com/l/AAsIpXu2wZ9PxLmzpWL7Sve_lKDc213H-VE
