Demo Import – Handmade Layout Not Matching the Demo

Here is a screenshot of the products

The issue is that I am using LocalWP, my site is running on my computer not on a public server, so I don’t know if you can access it remotely.

Can you confirm if demo import works properly in LocalWP? Or does it require a live server?

Hello again,

I tried your suggestions and increased the PHP Max Input Vars as instructed on my local setup, but unfortunately the demo import still failed and the issue persisted.

I’ve now purchased hosting and domain to test it on a live server (Hostinger), but I’m still facing the same problem – menus are broken, missed up product images, and the import isn’t clean. (Not matching the preview demo .. Handmade)

At this point, I need your team to step in and fix it directly.
The login credentials to access the live WordPress installation in the Private Content.

Thanks,

Hello again,

I saw your reply and the screenshot. Yes, the demo looks like it’s imported, but please understand the issue is not just importing the demo files. The import completes, but the website is broken:

– Menus are wrong or missing.
– Mixed images and products.
– The structure/layout does not fully match the Handmade demo preview.
– Theme settings and page designs are messed up.

Please don’t just check if the demo “appears” imported, review the site properly and compare it to the official Handmade demo on your website. (( https://woodmart.xtemos.com/handmade ))

If needed, please reinstall the demo content yourself, fix the broken parts, and make sure it looks 100% like the original template.

Let me know when it’s done. Thanks.

Best regards,

Thanks for the update.

I understand that not everything from your live demo can be included in the import due to size or licensing limitations. That’s acceptable. However, this is not the real issue.

The issue is that the demo content that is imported is completely mismatched and inconsistent.

Please take a look at the screenshot attached:

– A product titled “iPhone dock” shows a vase in the image
– It’s listed under the “Toys” category
– Other products show a similar mismatch between name, image, and category

This is clearly not a matter of missing images or a reduced demo, it’s a broken or corrupted import. If the demo content can’t even align basic info like product image, name, and category, that’s a serious issue.

Additionally, the products that appear are not from the Handmade demo – they are mixed with the default theme demo content. I chose the Handmade demo specifically.

Please clarify:

Is this expected behavior?

If not, how can I get a clean and correct version of the Handmade demo?

I’m not trying to nitpick missing images. I just want a functional and accurate starting point. Right now, this is not usable as a baseline for an actual store.

Regards,
