ONE CLICK DEMO IMPORT
Now that we have installed and activated all the plugins. We now move into importing demo. For that, you can go to the themes landing page from “Appearance” or you could simply click on “One Click Demo Import”.
You will find the demos available for the theme. Let’s click on one of the demos and start the import process.
This could take up to 5 minutes.
Alright, Now that we have the confirmation, that the import was done. We can now go and check our homepage.
The site should now look like the demo. In case it doesn’t and the homepage looks a little different. We will need to assign the homepage. To do that, go to “Appearance > Customize > Static Front Page” and then choose “Homepage” as your static front page.
Your site is now set up and ready. Now you can explore and also change content to make it unique and worthy.
You can also take help from here to set up the website just like the demo:
