FAQ

How to configure demo import?

Theme authors can can set up demo imports easily by using the sd/edi/importer/config filter. A sample configuration can be found in the “samples” folder within the plugin directory.

Please note that three mandatory files need to be exported from the theme demo: XML File, Customizer File, and Widget File. The XML file (.xml) needs to be renamed as content.xml, the Customizer file (.dat) as customizer.dat, and the widget file (.wie) as widget.wie, after that these files will be automatically recognized by the demo importer.

For step-by-step instructions on integrating your theme with the Easy Demo Importer, please check out the Developer Docs in the Easy Demo Importer Documentation.

How can I see the demo importer in action?

A sample configuration is provided in the plugin directory -> samples folder. It is configured to work with the default Twenty Twenty-One theme.

To see the importer in action, simply require the sample-config.php file within your theme’s functions.php. It will even work in the localhost.

The link of a sample .zip file is provided in the plugin documentation. Kindly look for it in the information note of the Configuring the Demo Import with PHP section.

Where is the demo import page?

How can I export any required plugin settings to include in the demo import?

Please refer to the Exporting Settings as JSON section in the Easy Demo Importer plugin documentation for detailed instructions on exporting various settings as JSON files.

I can’t import the demo. It is saying there are errors. What can I do?

Commonly, errors encountered during the demo import process are often associated with the relatively smaller max_execution_time or server timeout settings. A practical first step is to inspect the built-in Appearance -> Easy System Status page, which can provide insights into any problematic server parameters. Once these issues are fixed, your demo import should work smoothly.
