Install demo content in Listable template without connecting with Pixelgrade

I have received a lot of emails asking me how to install the demo content in Listable since it does not appear as I explained in the first video for configure Listable

To do so we have 3 options:

• Connect Listable template with Pixelgrade, this option is only available if we have purchased the template
• Install an older version of listable, do what I explain in the first tutorial and then update the template manually
• Install the demo content manually: This is the method that I am going to explain in this tutorial 😉

Install demo content manually

Here is the video tutorial

The process is very simple, you'll see 😉

I am not going to explain the whole process to install Listable since you have it in the previous link, in this tutorial we are going to cut to the chase of installing the demo content in Listable.

Step 01: Install the template

We install the template in a normal way until we reach the point where we get the warning to connect our template with the Themeforest api through Pixel Grade Care

 

Here all we do is click on Return to the WordPress Dashboard and we return to the desktop of our WordPress

Step 02: Install the plugins

We install and activate all the plugins suggested by the template

Step 03: Add Post and Demo Pages

This is the actual first step in the process of importing demo content.

We are going to unzip the listable template file and inside the folder inc—>import—>demo-data we will find the file demo-data.xml

To import this content we go to Tools —> Import —> WordPress —> Run importer and upload the demo-data.xml file

It asks us who is the user that is going to import the content, we select our user and wait for it to be imported and at this moment we will have all the imported demo content.

Although we have all the imported demo content, we are missing the following steps:

Step 04 – Choose Home Page and Blog Page

We go to Settings —> Reading and select a static page for the home page and for the blog page, specifically in listable we will select Discover The City Gems for home and Tips & Articles for the blog:

 

Now yes, our home looks very good:

 

But we are missing two steps

Step 05: Demo Menus

When we have imported the demo content, the menus have been generated, but we still have to say where we want them to be seen.

To do this we go to Appearance —> Menus and do it:

• The Search in the Search Menu area
• The Main Menu in the Primare Menu area
• The Footer Menu in the Footer Menu area

And we will have the menus in place:

Step 06: Import Widgets

We would need the widgets to have the same content that they have on the demo page, for this we need to import them with the plugin Widget Settings Importer/Exporter

Once the plugin is installed, the Tools option appears —> Widget Setting import

You have the file that you need in the Premium Zone if you are a member and if you are not, I will give it to you if you subscribe to my YouTube channel 😉

When you have subscribed to my channel, notify me by email and I will send it to you.

Once the widget file is selected, all of them appear and the option

Select All Active Widgets, we mark all and click on import widget settings

And now yes, we already have our website completely ready just like in the demo 👏 👏 👏
