If you wish to import a different demo or restart the process, you must first clean your WordPress installation to avoid duplicate pages, menus, and widgets.
We recommend using the WP Reset plugin for a fast and safe clean-up.
Warning: This process will delete content. If you have created your own content on top of a demo, ensure you have a backup before proceeding.

For a clean import, follow these steps to remove previous demo data:
Step 1: Delete All Previous Pages #
- Navigate to Pages > All Pages.
- Select all pages using the bulk action checkbox.
- From the Bulk Actions dropdown, select “Move to Trash” and click “Apply”.
- Go to the Trash and empty it to permanently delete the pages.
Step 2: Delete All Navigation Menus #
- Navigate to Appearance > Menus.
- Select each menu you wish to delete.
- Click the “Delete” link to remove each menu completely.
Step 3: Remove All Widgets #
- Navigate to Appearance > Widgets.
- For each sidebar widget area (e.g., Footer, Blog Sidebar), open the panel.
- Click on each widget and select “Delete” to remove it from the sidebar.
Step 4: Import the New Demo #
- Once the site is clean, navigate to Digishift Studio > Demo Import.
- Browse the available demos and click the “Import” button on your new chosen demo.
