Why does my WordPress theme look different after demo import?

2 min read

Does your WordPress theme look different after demo import? Check plugins, homepage, menus, images and cache before repeating the import.

Short answer: check content and settings separately

A different appearance does not automatically mean that installation failed. The result depends on the theme, content and configuration. Missing images, the wrong homepage, an unassigned menu or a required plugin are common things to check. Work through them individually before repeating an import and potentially creating duplicate content.

Which settings should I review first?

Read the theme documentation and check the required extensions. Then confirm which page is used as the homepage and which menu is assigned to the intended location. For WooCommerce, review the store pages and product categories as well. Names and settings locations can differ with the WordPress and theme versions in use.

  • Are required plugins installed and active?
  • Are the homepage, menus and shop pages assigned correctly?
  • Have the necessary images reached the media library?
  • Are products published and assigned to the right categories?

What if images or recent changes are missing?

Open an affected image directly from the media library to see whether the file is missing or only displayed differently. After making changes, clear the page or CDN cache in use and check in a private browser window. Use a staging copy for further imports or larger corrections. Do not assume every imported image comes with identical usage rights.

When should I check the product offer again?

Compare the installation with the description of the theme you purchased. The catalogue lists WordPress themes with demo content and explains the package for each design. For interior products, the WooCommerce theme for furniture and kitchen stores offers a specific comparison. A design illustration does not already contain your own products and content.

If a difference remains, record the affected URL, a screenshot and any error message. Those details make a support enquiry more useful. Find services and contact options on the QESPRO homepage.
