Recommended Plugins

OneWest is designed to work out-of-the-box and doesn’t force you to install any plugins.

Plugins listed below extend the functionality of your website but aren’t required.

Contact Form 7 — allows you to create contact forms that can be easily added to posts, pages, and widgets.


Importing the Demo Data

Demo data is a collection of posts, pages, comments, and images that you can import to your website and use as a starting point for your own content or study and delete after you feel comfortable working with the theme.

Unfortunately, WordPress doesn’t provide a one-click solution for importing all data from one site to another. There is no way to import Widgets and Customizer settings natively.

We’ll use third-party plugins to do it. But don’t worry, these plugins are trusted among the community, very easy to use, and completely free. And you can safely delete them, once finished importing the data.


Required Plugins

WordPress Importer — for importing the content
Widget Importer & Exporter — for importing Widget settings
Customizer Export/Import — for importing Customizer settings

or use plugin One Click Demo Import - which will import all these 3 settings(content,customizer settings, widgets)


Demo Data Files

You can either download the demo data from the theme page or unzip the onewest-package-X.X.X.zip file. There will be a subfolder called Demo Content with three files in it:

onewest-widgets-X.X.X.wie — contains widget settings.
onewest-customizer-X.X.X.dat — contains Customizer settings.
onewest-data-X.X.X.xml — contains posts, pages, images etc.

Note: X.X.X stands for the current version of the file. It may be 1.0.0 or 1.5.1 or something similar.
