How to Import Demo Data in the Docy Theme

Importing demo data can give your WordPress site a head start by replicating the preset demo design, content, and configurations. If you’re using the Docy theme, this guide will walk you through the process to ensure your website looks just like the theme’s demo.

Why Import Demo Data?

Demo data provides a quick way to set up your website with professionally designed layouts and placeholder content. This helps you understand how to structure your own content and saves development time.

Steps to Import Demo Data in Docy Theme

• Install and activate the Docy theme from your WordPress dashboard.
• Install and activate all required plugins prompted by the theme. These plugins ensure all theme features and demo content work correctly.
• Navigate to Appearance > Import Demo Data in your WordPress admin menu.
• Click the “Import Demo Data” button to start the process.

The import may take several minutes, depending on your hosting environment. Once finished, all demo pages, menus, and settings will be available on your website.

After Importing: Setting Up Your Homepage

To finish the setup:

• Check the Pages menu in your dashboard to find all imported demo pages.
• Edit your preferred homepage with Elementor or your chosen editor.
• To set your homepage, go to Settings > Reading and select your chosen page as your site’s front page.

Troubleshooting: Manual Import Option

If the one-click import doesn’t work or you encounter issues, you can manually import the demo data:

• Follow the manual import instructions typically included with your theme’s documentation.
