Sample Content Duplicated or Failure Issue

When you import the sample content it can take several minutes depending on the speed of your server even sometimes it fails to import. Each time the button is clicked, it will import the content, so if it is clicked twice, it will import everything two times. There are two ways of removing duplicate content.

To avoid duplication of demo data we can use the WP Reset Plugin which will remove all content from your database and leave the default theme activated. It does not remove plugins, but will deactivate them and remove all pages, posts, menus, sliders, widget data, theme options, etc. Basically it removes all the content that you imported from our theme. Only do this if you are able to start over. WP RESET PLUGIN

Site Settings

For settings, Go Settings Menu.

• Reading Settings : create a page with default template and select it as Front Page.
