PostmagThemes Demo Import sets up your site to look like the theme demo in a single click. Instead of creating posts, pages, menus and widgets by hand, activate the plugin, go to
Appearance > Import Demo Data, and import.
It is built for PostmagThemes themes, but it also works with
any theme that provides standard demo files.

- Choose the post author – assign imported posts to any user on your site
- Safe uploads – files are checked for the correct type before they are saved to the server
- Translation ready
Supported PostmagThemes themes
Context Blog, Context Blog Pro, Blink, Ink, NewsMag and other PostmagThemes themes that support demo import.
How to import a demo
With a PostmagThemes theme
- Activate a PostmagThemes theme that supports demo import, such as Context Blog.
- Go to Appearance > Import Demo Data. You will see a preview of the theme's demo.
- Click Import and wait for it to finish.
With a theme from another author
- Download the three demo files from the theme author's website: content (.xml), widgets (.wie) and customizer settings (.dat).
- Go to Appearance > Import Demo Data. Because the active theme is not a PostmagThemes theme, you will see three upload fields instead of a demo preview.
- Upload each file to its matching field, then click Import.
