    Hello, I have 150+ products on my existing Woodmart shop, and I want to use the “Accesories” demo instead of the current one. If I import the new template, all my products will be replaced by dummy products. Is there any possibility to import the template without losing products?

    Hi guidopla,

    Thanks for reaching to us.

    You can create a dev site and import any template there, then with the help of the import functionality of Elementor you can export its template, more detail is here: https://elementor.com/help/template-library/ or XML https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-export-a-wordpress-site/

    Devsite – also called a Staging platform where you can test issues, enable/disable features/plugins thus such changes will affect the main site. The below article will help you to create it:

    I do not have access to create a staging site. Besides, exporting templates from elementor would not export the template’s header, slides, and other “woodmart exclusive” type of content. Isn’t there any other way around it? It seems like a feature you guys should have by now since I’ve seen plenty of previous requests in the forums.

    Hi guidopla,

    You can try plugin to create staging site, for e.g: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/

    Using staging site, you can import any demo templates and export templates or other content types without affecting to the live site.

    Regards,
