If you wonder why we have been quiet since last few days, it’s because we’ve been working on improving some of our recent themes.
Our recently released Classifieds, Store and eShop themes are now having auto install functionality. You simply click activate and the theme automatically populate dummy data (posts, categories, images, widget and so on) as shown on our live demo. This will dramatically reduce the efforts it takes to install and use the theme. The dummy data helps you understand how the setup is done, how it works and all you need to do is simply edit them as per your requirement. Once you get comfortable adding the posts with additional fields and other setup, you may delete the posts added by us with a single click (shown preview in the following screenshot).
Oh by the way, don’t worry if you already have existing data on your site. On your themes page (where you activate the theme) we also do provide a option to remove data populated by clicking the “detele please” link.
So this means that you can now get started with your site in just couple of minutes. Awesome, isn’t it?
If you are an existing member, download the latest version of these themes from the member area. We are also working on implementing auto-install feature in rest of our themes and a new version will be available soon.
Great job guys!
This should be very useful for members.
I have a question on the dummy data.. When I activated the theme I opted to install the dummy data…… after removing it the ‘register’ function no longer worked. Does the removing the dummy data also remove the ability for people to register? Thanks.
Nope. It doesn’t. I suggest you to take a look at installation guide so it explains how the theme works and the registration process. Best place to disucss and trouble shoot this is our helpdesk but I think the registration option on your install maybe off. Simply switch it on.
