Hi, Is it possible to package a theme zip folder with the child theme and a predetermined demo, whereby when the zip folder is uploaded the theme installs on a new website and automatically loads the specific demo and all its files?
Hey drzatcodcan,
Thank you for the inquiry.
This should be possible but it is not available as of the moment. You may need to hire a freelance developer to create a script or function that automatically installs a specific demo or import its dataset in the database when the custom child theme is activated.
Best regards,
Ismael
why don’t you do that yourself.
Install a fresh wordpress with enfold – and install your demo then.
Install duplicator – that nice free backup tool will generate two files – one installer file and one data file ( on default a zip file – on bigger installations it will be an own format (daf)).
Thats all – upload both files to your new server – start installer and only enter the new database values.

I do have that too for my installations – but not with a demo – but with Enfold and Child-Theme and all necessary plugins and some standard settings and functions.php snippets.
Yes, thank you for helping out with a manual install. I am wondering, though, if there is a way to automate the demo install with a script, a webhook, or an API call, or something else?
Thanks.
Yes:

– but to be honest: it is strictly speaking, it’s a one-time manual install, which is then carried out completely automatically.
