Import Blog Posts, Pages, Comments
Hi,
I purchased the BeTheme today to use the BeEco theme. I installed the demo pages which wrote over my blog posts and pages. I knew this would happen so I created a backup on Dropbox.
But I cannot find in the documentation or forum (apologies if I'm bad at searching) that describes if there is a way to retain my posts / pages/ comments / work from 2009 while still using a prebuilt theme.
Is it possible to get my old content back and somehow fit it into the layouts of the prebuilt themes and then change the relevant info?
Thanks so much! Even though I started this blog in 2009, I'm still a tech newbie! Appreciate your help!

Hi,
Firstly, you will have to restore the backup of your websites to get back your posts.
When you do that, go to Betheme -> Pre-built websites, choose the demo you want to use, and when the message about the database appears, click on Skip.
Thanks to that, your previous posts and pages will not be deleted. However, the whole content from the pre-built website will be imported, so you will have manually remove the content that you do not need.
Moreover, only styles set in the theme options will affect your old posts, and the content will stay untouched.
Best regards
Thank you so much for this! I was just able to get this to work! Very much appreciate your help!
I am glad I could help.
If you have any other questions or problems, feel free to ask.
Thanks
