Volume settings from site library
5 replies · Started by Richard on January 12, 2022
Hi Generatepress team!
I'm hoping you can help, I've started working with the Volume theme. In your site library it's super pretty and is basically setup exactly how I hoped my site would look. But on my site, there's a bunch of stuff missing - it *is* volume but not styled or laid out how I'd like it to be. Particularly the way the headers are handled.
Is it a case of me reading all of the instructions and working this thing out myself, or can I get a push in the right direction? Is it a case of importing a site from the site library ("Existing Site Import Detected") - and if I do will this overwrite the articles I've already created?
Thank you!!
Hi there,
first off - if you go to Dashboard > Appearance do you see an Elements menu item ? If so whats in there ?
Nothing at all!
You can retry importing the site.

No it will not overwrite your existing content.
However we strongly recommend you make a backup of your site or create a staging site to do the import.
To make sure you get the correct design - during the import process you must Import the Demo Content see here for more info:

You then need to delete the demo posts and pages that you don't require.
Fixed and all sorted! Thank you!!
Glad to hear that!
