Importing demo content

SeeKo comes with two demos, Dating and Mentoring, each in an Elementor version and a classic version. You import them from the Demo Data tab of the Seeko Panel. The import installs and activates the plugins the demo needs, adds the pages, menus and settings, and sets up the BuddyPress profile fields and search forms, so your site looks like the live demo.

Before you import

Section titled “Before you import”
  • Register SeeKo. Without a registered purchase code you can browse and preview the demos, but not import them.
  • Check the requirements. The Dating demo installs about ten plugins.
  • Activate the SeeKo child theme first (Plugins tab > Install & activate child theme): Customizer settings belong to the active theme.
  • Your existing content is kept, but the demo settings change the look of the site. Back up an existing site first.

Import a demo

Section titled “Import a demo”
  1. Go to Appearance > Seeko Panel and open the Demo Data tab.
  2. Choose Elementor or Classic at the top. The Elementor demos are the current ones; the classic demos are the files that came with older SeeKo versions.
  3. Each card shows the plugins the demo needs, colored by state (Active, Installed, Update available, Not installed). Click Preview demo to open the live demo.
  4. Click Import on Dating or Mentoring.
  5. Under What to import, leave everything checked to get the demo as shown, or uncheck the parts you do not want:
    • Install and activate the required plugins: Seeko Theme Core, Elementor, BuddyPress, rtMedia, Seeko Pro Search, Login Booster, Posts Like and, for Dating, Paid Memberships Pro, Profile matching and Contact Form 7.
    • The demo content: pages, menus, widgets, theme options and site settings (front page, blog page).
    • BuddyPress profile fields and search forms.
    • Dating: Membership levels (Paid Memberships Pro). Mentoring: Mentoring footer template.
  6. Optional: click What will be imported? to see the list of steps.
  7. Click Import demo and keep the page open until you see Your demo is ready.
  8. Use View site or Customize, or open one of the Imported pages. Set as front page makes any imported page your home page.

Import again or another demo

Section titled “Import again or another demo”

Importing the same demo again keeps the pages and posts imported before and does not add the same widgets twice. Importing the other demo adds its pages next to yours; only the parts you check are imported.

After the import

Section titled “After the import”
  • Replace the demo texts and images with yours: edit the pages with Elementor.
  • Set your logo in Appearance > Customize > Site Identity, and the header in Seeko Options > Header (Header and menus).
  • Adjust the member search forms (SeeKo search).

If the import stops, raise the PHP memory and execution time and import again; pages imported before are kept. See Common errors.
