How to import another startpage without overwrite replace content and settings
-
Hello,
we need to import another homepage into our existing woodmart demo.
– We already setup fonts
– We already setup styles
– We already setup woodmart settings
– We already have an existing startpage
Now we need to import some sections from another startpage. This sections are not in your library. 🙁
So we need to import the full startpage to copy the needed sections.
How to do this please without replacing our setup, colors and startpage and other content?

Hi thomas-8605,
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 necessary templates and import to other sites, more detail is here: https://elementor.com/help/template-library/
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:

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

Hello Hung PD,
in other words:
Woodmart is so much limited and do not have an option to import other pages without extra ftp, extra wordpress and extra staging? Wow! This is how themes was working 8 years before. So for that hard words, but this is a very outdated workflow.
1. Why you do not add all startpages to woodmart template library?
2. Why users shoud use a complete new wordpress stage just to copy one page? Woud you work like this just to copy a startpage?
3. Do you plan to improve this?
Sure, we can add a request to your roadmap. But in 2025 about import basics like this?
4. I can see in forum a lot of users asking the same about importing another startpage. And you always answer the same text: create a stage. Why you waste your time and the time of customers by this workflow instead adding the already exisitng startpages into library? This is a 80 minute job for an normal level developer.

Please also explain how to cancle 17 woodmart subscriptions in bulk. We goign to review all woodmart subscriptions and switch back to more comfort and modern workflow theme xst….
Hi thomas-8605,
You can import additional pages directly and WoodMart has that option https://ibb.co/4ZRv1FSV
The method I mentioned above helps you make sure the existing content won’t be affected. Hope it clears.

Hello,
1) you wrote:

But we do asking somethign complete different:
How to import an startpage from another demo without replacing our theme settings and setup?
Question 1: Do you see any startpage in this section https://ibb.co/4ZRv1FSV? We do not.
So why this is your feedback regarding our question? We wasting your time and our time by playing this ticket ping pong. 🙁
2) Final result of that issue is:
Woodmart adding a lot of section and pages to demo content section. But if a user asking for simple page like startpage from another demo they shoud work like an outdated theme, because your developer dont wanna invest 80 minutes to add startpages also to demo content. They say: better to install a fresh wordpress, create database, install woodmart and then they need to import demo page and then open startpage in elementor and save the content to json file. Then move to current page and import that content. Its feeling like a joke.
At the same time there are so many pages and content in demo library, but one of the most important page type is not added to it (the startpages). Woud you wanna work like this in your next modern theme for your project?
3) How to cancle 17 subscriptions in bulk please? We goint to review that case with all subscriptions and cancle all.
We can not start other projects if we stuck with simple needs which other themes can handle out of the box.

Hi thomas-8605,
Sorry for not being clear.
I already answered your original question: How to import an startpage from another demo without replacing our theme settings and setup?
You can import other demos directly without creating staging site, however, in case you want to preserve an existing content and theme settings, I guided you to create staging site or devsite to import other demos there, and then you can export specific pages into the main site.
And you can use WP Local to create devsite quickly https://localwp.com/

Hello,
Unfortunately, there are no other ways to import home pages at the moment. As we mentioned in the comment section, we will consider this improvement for our future updates.
Do you mean that you have 17 accounts with licenses that you would like to cancel? Please provide more details about this.
Kind Regards
