    Hi, this is probably a really stupid question, but how do you get your site and theme to appear exactly like it looks on the studiopress.com? Thanks!

    You need to import the XML file and it's content located with in your theme folder.


    To speed up the process please post the link to the website in question.

    We recommend using Firebug to view source codes http://getfirebug.com/

    Okay, when I import the xml file, it just returns a lot of errors, and it doesn't appear that anything is imported. I do already have content on the site, and wanted it to look exactly like the one available here, http://my.studiopress.com/themes/education/.

    Thanks for your help.

    Make sure you're using this plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer/ to import the XML file.

    If you already have content on your site, you might not need the XML download, which creates content, categories, posts, pages, menus etc.

    If you have everything like that already, then just follow the set-up instructions: http://my.studiopress.com/setup/education-theme/

    Okay, the xml import thing doesn't seem to be working, how do I go about setting it up. The setup instructions are a little confusing and it doesn't seem to be getting its original settings. Any advice, like a file I need to import? Thanks!

    There is no file to import. If you post a link to your site, I could possibly provide you with more direction.
