Starter sites

    I’m in the process of designing a portfolio site and I’m not set on the starter site to use. Is it possible to switch the starter site I chose for a different one or will the database have all the old data from my first pick? Or does each new starter site remove all the previous starter site data?

    Hello @kernix

    You can import a new starter site at any point in time. However, previously imported content will most likely be deleted if you choose to do this and the current settings will be overwritten with the demo site’s.

    If you want to grab just parts of the demo site, we would recommend installing WordPress locally using a tool like this one: https://localwp.com. From there, you can import the demo on the test site and copy paste any elements that you may want.

    We do not recommend to import a demo site over an existing website without at least having a backup made. Things will most likely shift around.

    Hope this clears things up!

    Thanks.

    Sorry, I should have mentioned that I’m using Local to build the site, and I should have said “demo site” as opposed to “starter site”. I was thinking I may do a few different local sites and grabbing different elements/sections from different demo sites.

    Hello @kernix

    In this case, you can spin up multiple instances, import the site on there and copy paste things across very easily. Should be no problems with this workflow. ??

    Thanks!
