Divi LMS for LearnDash

4. Import The Demo Content

After you install and activate the child theme, you will see a new menu item on the left-hand side of your WordPress Dashboard called Divi LMS for LearnDash. Hover over this and click Easy Demo Import

Review The Import Items

Next, you will see a list of options that are checked by default. These selected items will be imported, installed, and assigned on your website.

Pee Aye Creative Divi LMS for LeanrDash Child Theme Demo Import Options

For a new website installation, we recommend keeping everything selected. This will enable you to instantly have a site that is structured and set up exactly like the demo site. Please consider reviewing this to fully understand what is included in our product and being imported.

Child themes like this are designed for fresh installations of WordPress. If you already have an existing website with any content, pages, menus, styling, etc. on your site, you will want to proceed with caution and pay close attention. The import process will technically not override any existing pages, but it will create some confusion and add everything as new content in addition to anything already existing. To avoid any issues, simply deselect any items that you don’t want to import or assign.

Run The Import Process

After reviewing the selected items carefully, you may proceed with the import process. This process may happen quickly or take up to a few minutes, depending on your hosting server speed and internet connection. When you are ready to import the demo content, click the blue Import Demo Content button to proceed. Some visual indicators will show a readout of the progress.

Review Success Screen

After the import process has completed, a success message will appear stating “Import Process Completed.”

One important and potentially confusing thing here is a red button that says “Remove Demo Content & Import Functions.” Don’t worry, this will not remove the demo content! This means it will remove the code function itself that was used to run the import process. Since the code needed for this process has already served its purpose, it can be removed.

Save Permalinks

At this point, it is recommended to go to your WordPress permalink settings at “Settings>Permalinks” and click the blue “Save” button. This is needed any time you make major changes to your site structure in WordPress.

5. Customize Your Site

Review Your Site

The import process is completed, and you can go review the frontend of your website. Your site should now look exactly like our demo site.

Replace Content

Now you can go through your site template and rewrite the text and replace the placeholder images with your own images.

You may customize anything on the site including the logo, images, color schemes, fonts, layout, etc. Divi makes it super easy to do all of this, but some the styling you see is from the CSS file.

Photos & Resources

Photos

Our demo uses some stock photos, but it would be illegal for us to include those or give them to you as part of this product. Instead, we have replaced those stock photos with placeholder images. Actually, we do not recommend using stock photos on your site. Instead, you should take and use original photos anyhow, since it has been proven that stock photos are not considered trustworthy or helpful for brand. Your customers want to see your own photos.

However, we like to go the extra mile, so if there are some photos you like on our demo that you want to use, you can still do that by using the links below in the toggle. We tried to use either free or inexpensive stock photos for your convenience.

Free Custom Icons

Our child theme includes 12 custom designed icons. These icons are included as PNG files that match the color of the demo. We also included the vector files so they can be customized in a vector editing program to match your own branding.

Free Style Guide

We also include a complimentary style guide for the template. This simply shows some of the color scheme, fonts, and styles used in the demo.

Existing customers can download the icons and style guide here.

Theme Builder Templates

Overview

Whenever you activate the child theme and import the demo content, it automatically creates a variety of Divi Theme Builder Templates located in the Divi>Theme Builder area. These templates are each assigned to different pages, posts, post types, archive pages, categories, etc. The Theme Builder is a very helpful feature of Divi, so it is highly recommended that you get to know how to use it. If you are new to the Theme Builder, don’t worry, our guide here will help explain what each of the templates is used for in the child theme.

You can edit any of the templates by clicking the little pencil icon. This opens up the template, and you can customize it to your liking using the Divi Builder.

Default Website Template

This is the first template, and it applies across the entire site. You will notice there are Global Header and Global Footer layouts included in the template. Because they are global, these header and footer layouts apply everywhere on the site, unless they are overridden by another individual template.

Blog Posts

You will notice three templates related to blog posts:

  • Blog Posts With Left Sidebar
  • Blog Posts With Right Sidebar
  • Blog Posts With No Sidebar

These three different templates are assigned to various blog posts on the website, which means when you view a blog post, it will dynamically show the design and the layout from this template. Dynamic Content is used to show the post title, meta, content, etc. We provided three options, but most likely you would want to remove two options and assign one of these templates to the “All Posts” template instead.

Blog Category & Tags Pages

This template applies to all the blog post category and tags pages. If you click on any blog category or tag link, you will come to a page that dynamically shows blog posts in that particular category or page.

Courses

You will notice three templates related to courses:

  • Courses With Left Sidebar
  • Courses With Right Sidebar
  • Courses With No Sidebar

These three different templates are assigned to various courses, lessons, and topics on the website, which means when you view a course, lesson, or topic page, it will dynamically show the design and the layout from this template. Dynamic Content is used to show the course title, content, etc. We provided three options, but most likely you would want to remove two options and assign one of these templates to the “All Courses” and “All Lessons” and “All Topics” templates instead.
