jp2icopParticipantI am currently using the Electronics demo and have made extensive customizations to my site, including:
-
Product pages
Product archive pages
Custom templates for brands and categories
Theme settings and various designs.However, I would like to switch to the Mega Electronics demo as it offers a cleaner layout, particularly the category tab on the home page (as it offers a better layout that does not block the hero section, unlike the Electronics demo), which better aligns with my design goals.
The Challenge:
When attempting to import a new prebuilt website, the process prompts me to remove content and overwrite settings, which I cannot afford to do. My website is already live, and I have invested significant time in building custom layouts and settings.My Goal:
I want to fully import the Mega Electronics demo while preserving:-
My current product pages and archive templates.
Brand and category custom templates.
Other custom designs and theme settings I’ve created.Questions:
-
What is the safest way to import the Mega Electronics demo without overwriting or removing my existing content, templates, and settings?
Is it possible to selectively apply parts of the demo (e.g., home page layout and category tab) while leaving my custom product-related pages untouched?
If importing the full site is the only option, how can I back up and restore my current customizations quickly and efficiently?I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to achieve this without jeopardizing the current state of my site.
Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your recommendations.

Aizaz Imtiaz AwanKeymasterHello,
First of all thanks for choosing our Theme, we are glad to be you in the WoodMart WordPress family :).
I would like to inform you that it is not feasible to import the full demo site without overwriting the existing content on your site. However, you can achieve your goal by following these steps:
1. Install the staging site.
2. Import the complete Mega Electronics Demo onto the staging site.
3. Copy or export the desired sections to the live site.This is the only viable method to proceed with your request.
If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out.
Best Regards.
