    I have purchased the theme yesterday and a developer has created a child theme for me and installed it on a staging site for me. He did not import the Proton demo that I would like to have installed, instead I find my old website content in it. Question: a) do I really need a child theme here or am I complicating things? b) how to import the demo c) can the demo only be installed in the Proton theme or also in the Proton Child theme?

    Hi,

    Child Theme

    Using a child theme is a fast and efficient way to customize your WordPress website. Designers and developers use them to speed up their development. If you choose a good parent theme, then you can drastically reduce the time it takes to create a WordPress site. 

    Theme frameworks make a good starting point because they offer lots of functionality and are easy to customize. Child themes also make it easy to keep your themes up to date. 

    This was a serious issue in the early days of WordPress. Normally, when you update a WordPress theme, you lose all of your customizations. But when you use a child theme, your customizations are stored in the child theme and won’t be lost when you update the parent

    Demo Importer

    You can import the demo data by going to Dashboard > Porton > Proton Options > Demo Importer.

    And yes, you can import the demo also from the child theme.

    Feel free to ask for anything you need.

    Kind Regards
