Step 1 – Install React to a clean WordPress install and activate the React Child theme

You should start with a clean installation of WordPress to ensure there are no issues during the rest of this process. You can use the WordPress Reset plugin to delete all content and reset your site to a clean install.

If you haven’t already – purchase React and install it on your site. Install and activate the React Child theme.

Step 2 – Import the demo content

Download the React Second XML export file and save it to your computer. In your WordPress install go to Tools → Import and click WordPress. Install the WordPress Importer plugin when asked. Once installed click Activate Plugin & Run Importer then choose the React Second XML export file you just downloaded and make sure to tick the box Download and import file attachments. It may take a few minutes to download the attachments so it’s a good time to grab a cup of tea!

Step 3 – Import the theme options

Click the toggle below to show the theme options data and copy this (Ctrl + C) then in your WordPress install go to Appearance → Theme Options → Advanced → Import and paste the text into the box, then click Import.
