    how to replicate WordPress theme demo

    Posted 13 years 4 months ago
    • I would like to know if Word Press themes have a rocket launch type of installer package that can replicate the setup of the demo with its sample content?

      I know when you install a WP theme, you have the option of inserting the sample data. Is that all I need to do in order to replicate the WP theme's demo?

    • Hi, our newer themes that use the Gantry Framework have Rocket Launcher demos available. Our older themes have sample data which installs all the demo content, you may still need to configure some widgets to get it to look exactly like the demo. Looking at the tutorial pages on the demo site can often point you in the right direction.

    • So I guess using Word Press themes is no easier than Joomla themes.
      I was hoping that using the Word Press platform would be easier in terms of duplicating the demo, but I apparently, you still have to customize certain settings if you don't use the rocket launch.

      It's the same deal ss using Joomla, but without the extra technical hassles of having to migrate your database for joomla 2.5 once this new version comes out in March.

      At least, that is the conclusion I have come to.

    • Hi, replicating the demo from scratch on either platform is going to take some work. It takes us a great deal of time to put the demos together in the first place so it's not going to be much different for anyone else, unfortunately there isn't a magic button :D

      After using both Joomla and Wordpress, they are about the same. Some things in Joomla are easier and some things in Wordpress are easier, but they both come with their own set of challenges as well. At the end of the day, it boils down to which format you prefer.
