How To Install Your Kadence Child Theme & Import The Demo Content
Before you get started
If you have an established WordPress site with existing pages and posts and other content, please read this entire list BEFORE installing your theme and importing your demo content:
-
Read my switching to a new theme guide
Check out my guide on switching to a new theme! There's some helpful tips and other important information you should know about before switching.
-
I highly recommend creating a backup of your website first
You should always make a backup of your website before installing any new theme. Ask your host about creating a quick backup if you're unsure.
-
Do your blog posts get sent to your email list automatically?
If so, you should know that the importer adds demo blog posts. So make sure to pause any RSS-to-email feeds before importing, then you can delete the demo posts and restart your feed.
-
Update WordPress and plugins
Make sure your site is running the latest version of WordPress and all plugins are updated.
-
Deactivate the Classic Editor plugin
If you’re using the “Classic Editor” plugin, deactivate it. Kadence only works with the block editor.
Import issues: If you receive an error during the import process, the demo doesn't import after 10 minutes, or if the import did not complete all the way (missing pages, etc), please read this troubleshooting guide
