Sample content lives under Theme Setup > Optional setup tools. It is disabled until you explicitly enable it for a new site, and is never needed for normal setup.

  1. Navigate to Theme Setup.
  2. Open Optional setup tools and choose This is a new site: enable sample content. Core must be active.
  3. Choose Import sample content and review what it will create and change.
  4. Confirm the import. It publishes sample pages, sermons, events, and ministries; sets the starter Home page; and assigns a new starter menu.
  5. Replace all starter copy with your real church information before launch.
Existing websites: Keep sample content disabled. Use the sermon connection choices in Theme Setup, or open Sermons > Sermon Tools. If sermons are regular Posts, expand Are your sermons saved as Posts? to review conversion while keeping their URLs.
