Volume template not importing as expected
8 replies · Started by Lou on May 6, 2021
Hey there, I wanted to look at using the Volume site library template, however, importing into my staging site didn't seem to bring over any of the actual site options and customizer settings. I was doing an import without demo content as it's an existing site.
As a test, I went over to another separate install with a fresh WP install and imported without demo content, saw the same behavior. Tried importing with the demo content and now it seems to be pulling a bit more but still no images as well as not matching the styling of the demo site in the site library preview.
It also seems that it's pulling some different page content. The "A guide to styling and making Volume your own" post looks to have what I'm assuming is an old copy of that page from before the Volume Remastered version.
My demo site is at https://www.imfromtheinter.net.
- There are no other plugins installed from a stock install other than the ManageWP Worker plugin.
- I've checked the debug.log file and there were no errors during a deletion and reimport of the template with demo content.
- This site is hosted on Veerotech, and while they support LiteSpeed cache, none of my test installs on this site have LS enabled
- I've checked the media section after the import and there are no images present
- Elements section does have elements, however
Not sure what's going on here, as I've imported Dispatch on other test installs on this host. Granted, that was well before GPP 2.0 and this is my first attempt after GPP 2.0, so... Help? :D
Thanks!
Hi there,
Well thats not right - the new preview should not have been updated yet as we haven't yet pushed those changes to the Site Library. We should be pushing that button later today if you don't mind hanging on :)
lmaooooooo of course it's my luck that I just randomly stumble upon the new preview last night after a long break on this project.
Alright, standing by! :D
To tell you the truth i was surprised you found the new preview :)
It should be safe to go when you see the Thumbnail updated on the gp site:
Just to let you know the Site Library has been updated :)
I saw! Thanks for the update! Import looks good!
Is there a particular reason why the site template doesn't import fully without choosing the demo content? Is it because "demo content" also includes the elements?
It's not the end of the world, there are only a few posts that are easy to remove post-import, I was just wondering why the full look/style doesn't come through without ticking the Demo Content checkbox haha.
Thanks!
Thats correct - block elements are a post type - so they are within the content.
Alright, that makes sense then. Thanks!
You're welcome
