Biz Growth Hub Pro includes a built-in Quick Setup & Demo Import in the customizer. Use this to add demo content, pages, and menus—no external plugin required.

1. Go to Appearance » Customize.
2. Open the section 🚀 Quick Setup & Demo Import (usually at the top).
3. Use the buttons in order:
   • Import Demo Content – Creates sample posts for Resources, Team, Testimonials, and other custom post types. Existing demo content is skipped.
   • Import Demo Pages – Imports demo pages (About Us, Contact, Blog templates, etc.).
   • Create Demo Menus – Creates Header and Footer menus and assigns them. Import demo pages first.
   • Import Featured Images (optional) – Uploads featured images for demo posts; useful if you imported content in Lite Mode.
4. Use Delete Demo Content or Delete Demo Pages if you want to remove imported demo items later.

Alternative: Import demo content via XML (WordPress Importer)

If you prefer not to use the Customizer’s Demo Import, you can import the theme’s WordPress export file (XML) using the built-in importer:

1. Go to Tools » Import in the WordPress admin.
2. Under WordPress, click Run Importer. If you don’t see it, install the “WordPress Importer” plugin from wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer first.
3. Click Choose File and select the theme’s XML file (bizgrowthhubpro.WordPress.xml from this documentation package), or download it here.
4. Click Upload file and import.
5. On the next screen, assign posts to an existing user or create a new author. Optionally check Download and import file attachments to import images. Click Submit.
6. When the import finishes, set your Homepage and Posts page under Settings » Reading if needed (see Homepage Setup). You may also need to assign menus under Appearance » Menus.

Screenshot – Run Importer:

The theme also applies customizer defaults on first activation, so the homepage sections will show with default content even if you don’t run the demo import.

Theme Reset (Customizer): You can reset all theme customizations to defaults from Appearance » Customize » Theme Reset.

3. Homepage Setup

---
