Hi team,

Is there a way to import a new demo to our site without losing our products & text from the correct template ?

Hello FiberandOptic,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your query.

Yes, it is indeed possible to import a new demo to your site while retaining your existing products and text, even old demo content can be saved https://prnt.sc/VhHiJBO3eEMX . However, we recommend taking a complete backup of your current site before proceeding with the import to ensure that no data is lost accidentally. Another way can be creating a staging site (full copy of live site), there you will be able to do a test import. Please note that in case you skip old demo content deleting, new pages and images will be imported with additional IDs, which means some images can be messed up on newly imported pages.
Maybe it is better not to run a full new import, but to take particular sections from different demos using Studio – https://www.8theme.com/documentation/xstore/xstore-features/xstudio-feature-of-xstore-wordpress-theme/

We strongly advise trying this first on a test site, as importing two versions of demo content onto the same site is not the recommended approach and may lead to content overlap, although your previous content will not be deleted without your consent.

We hope this information is helpful.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Our support team is always available to assist you.

Best Regards,
8Theme’s Team
