So why does installation of a "simple" theme delete all products from Woocommerce?

Please help me understand why installing one of your themes also causes the deletion of all products from Woocommerce?

Luckily I did this on a staging site, though to be quite frank it's pretty ridiculous and I'm not sure why anyone installing a new theme on an existing site would ever want this...

Sure, I can understand that someone might want to reset all in the case of starting a new site from scratch, though we're reskinning our site and need all of the product information.

I would have thought there at least be the option of:

"Do you want to retain your existing Woocommerce products?" as part of your wizards...

How can I install the "rest" of one of your websites without deleting all products??

Regards,


Christian

    Hi,

    In the pre-built installation process, there is a popup regarding database reset. If you select that you want to use reset, then all your pages, posts, products, etc., will be removed. You can omit this set so all this content will stay untouched.
