The easiest way to import our demo content is to use the Demo Content Importer. The Demo Content Importer provides you with all of Uncode's pages and posts, sample sliders, widgets, theme options, assigned pages, products (if the WooCommerce plugin is active), and more.
Using this import feature is recommended for fresh installs. The automatic import will NOT replace existing content but will merge your current content with Uncode demo content. We always recommend running it on a fresh WordPress installation with no extra plugins active.
Please note that Uncode's Demo Content is based on multiple demo concepts. Therefore, even if you see a different configuration for each homepage (color, menu settings, etc.), during the installation, a base configuration will be imported from which you can start your customization. In fact, unlike other themes, Uncode offers the possibility to import multiple layouts and not just simple website examples of 4 or 5 pages, so there is no common configuration for all concepts that are imported.
If this is your initial experience with Uncode, we strongly suggest you import all layouts. You will then have everything needed to begin, it makes it easier to understand how Uncode works, and you can avoid having to create everything from scratch. Whatever your choice, you have these methods available:
- Import Demo
- Import Single Layouts
- Import Advanced Menus
- Import Theme Options & Content Blocks
- Wireframes Plugin
Demo images
The Demo Content Importer will import about 110 images, 200+ pages and posts, and provide you with the exact technical replica of the demo site with placeholder images, screenshot. The images you see in the demo site are not part of the theme package, as you can read in the note on the main item page on ThemeForest. This is pretty normal for demo content in WordPress themes: you buy the theme for the functionalities and layouts. If you are interested in the images used in the demo site, please follow this article. Please note that some colors may vary, such as the gradients.
Import Demo
- Check the System Status to ensure your server meets the requirements for a successful import. Nothing should be indicated in red. If you have non-required plugins, deactivate them for the import procedure.
- Be sure to have installed and activated the required plugins.
- Navigate to Uncode → Install Demo
- Click Import Layouts.
- Wait until the import routine is done. Please be patient and don't navigate away, as this can take a few minutes depending on your host's performance.
- You will be notified once the process is completed, at which time you can check the results.
- (Optional) If you need to import the main menu of the demo site that can help you navigate the new imported layouts, click Import Menu.
- (Optional) If you need to replicate extra Font Squirrel fonts used in the Creative Department and Creative Artist demos, please import extra fonts. If you need to replicate extra Custom Web fonts used in the demo site, please follow this.
All content relative to plugins requires that the plugins are active when importing the data. Content from Revolution Slider and Layer Slider are shipped separately, and you can install the appropriate content from the plugins themselves.
Import Single Layouts
You can also import your content selectively for Single Pages, Theme Options, and Widgets.
When you Import Singles, you import the Page Builder structure of the page. This means that other elements present in the page, like portfolio, blog post, or product thumbnails, will not be imported, as well as Theme Options configurations (menu settings, font variations, etc.). The selective page import gives you the structure of the page with all the elements and modules but does not import external page elements like the Content Blocks. If you need to replicate pages like the Classic Agency, Creative Agency, Blog Metro or Shop Classic (the list is long), keep in mind that you also need to import all the portfolio pages, blog posts, possible products and Content Blocks that appear on the page to have a complete replica of the demo layout, screenshot.
It's also suggested to Import Theme Options to replicate the general options you see in the Uncode Demo; otherwise, the basic configuration of Uncode will be applied. The same is valid for Import Widgets.
Import Advanced Menus
During Demo Contents import, we've chosen not to import the complex Megamenu with Content Blocks setup by default. Instead, we maintain the classic Menu structure that Uncode has used, which is still visible in this demo. This way, users experiencing the theme for the first time will have a standard WordPress Menu at the end of the import process — one that already offers a simple Megamenu version with multiple dropdown levels, and a default mobile version. If you wish to import and activate the new advanced Mega Menus or Mobile Menus created with Content Blocks, please follow this documentation:
Uncode Demo Colors
When installing Uncode's Demo Layouts, only one color is imported, and it is called "Blue Ribbon". So, for example, a page that you see on the demo with a purple background color will be blue. If you need more information about the Demo Content colors, please visit the link below.
Import Theme Options & Content Blocks
The Import Theme Options & Content Blocks allows you to import the basic Theme Options of the Uncode demo and, optionally, the Content Blocks that are used to define layouts like the archives and category pages, the blog header, the custom single product layout, the related posts, and others. With this importer, you can have a ready-to-use 'naked' boilerplate. This importer is perfect if you want to import the basic structure of the Uncode demo and then create your static pages manually, using the Import Single Layout or the Wireframes plugin. This method does not import any images, screenshot.
Delete Demo Media
If you import Single Pages, the entire Demo Content Media Library of approximately 690 images will be imported. Unfortunately, it's not possible to import only media relative to a single page. There is no workaround to prevent all the Media Library files from being imported. After the import, you have a button named Delete Demo Media that will delete all the images relative to the Demo Content.
Wireframes Plugin
A good alternative for those who don't want to import Demo Content is the Wireframes Plugin, which offers similar features but with a different approach. The Wireframes Plugin, bundled from Uncode version 2.1, allows you to easily import over 400 carefully designed section templates that can be easily combined to create a complete website or independent landing pages.
Additional Notes
- Replicate a Footer: if you want to make the last Row of a Homepage the footer of your site, please follow: Footer Area;
- Possible missing Icons: some pages do not have the same icons you see on the official demo, please follow: Missing Icons;
- Possible missing Colors: please find a shortlist of the major colors used in the Uncode demo as main Accent color: Missing Colors;
