Add Default Content

[emasai]

I am trying to add default content to a blog during development, but nothing is showing. I uploaded the default_content.php file to the theme folder and added the following to the functions file. Did I make a mistake somewhere?

/* Show default content when it doesn't exist */
add_action('genesis_post_content', 'defaultcontent');
function defaultcontent() {
global $post;
if ( empty($post->post_content) ) {
include(CHILD_DIR . '/default_content.php');
}
}

Are you trying to add the demo content? If so, you are doing it incorrectly.

Actually I just found a video about importing the xml file demo content with WP importer, but that is not exactly I want to do, because then I will have to delete it all again. The file and functions code I used I got a while back and it only shows content if there is none. But I'm no programming genius so I don't quite understand how it works when it does work.

Well, when you import the XML file, if you import the file and leave the users just as they are - when you are ready to delete the content - you just delete the users. It will prompt you to delete their content, you say yes and that's it.

OK that's good to know.

I already have categories as my main menu is category based, so if I change the original categories but leave the users, then delete the users and their content will that also remove my categories?

Thanks for your help.

No, categories will stay - content inside those categories will be deleted.
