Pre-built site only works with your content — unusable with mine

I’m really frustrated after spending hours trying to build what should have been a simple portfolio site.

I used one of your pre-built websites expecting I could just replace the demo content with my own. But as soon as I start editing, everything breaks or behaves differently. The image gallery in your demo works beautifully — but when I try to recreate it with my own images, I can't get the same layout or behavior. There’s no visible setting, and no documentation to explain how it's done.

I also tried building a proper portfolio template using BeBuilder and ACF. I followed all the steps, but the dynamic fields never show correctly. Instead, I keep getting a blank “Welcome to BeBuilder” screen when trying to edit portfolio items. I’ve checked the conditions, tried rebuilding, nothing works.

Honestly, I thought I was buying a theme that would make things faster. Instead, I’ve spent hours just trying to get back to where I started, and I still don’t have a usable workflow. I consider myself a technical person, and if I’m this stuck, I can’t imagine how frustrating this must be for beginners.
