Sample Content

If you are starting a new site and would like to import the sample content as seen on the demo site, here are the steps:

  1. Go to Tools > Import (yoursite.com/wp-admin/import.php). Click WordPress. You maybe asked to install the importer plugin. If so, install the plugin.
  2. Upload the sample content XML file included in the theme folder.
  3. You will be asked to map a user to the content and import file attachments. Check "Download and import attachments" to import the gallery images from our demo site.
  4. Now you may edit or delete the content as you like.

Note: there is a bug in WordPress 3.0 where it doesn't export the taxnomony correctly. This means the category in the Menu custom post category will show uncheck. To fix this, go to the Menu posts (custom post type), edit the menu post and assign the category accordingly.
