[Genesis] Import Demo Widgets

There is a handy plugin that will instantly load all of the widgets from your theme demo right onto your site. It’ll save you lots of time and make the theme setup process a whole lot easier! Who doesn’t love easy?

If you prefer to set up all of your widgets manually (you adventurous person, you!), instructions for every widget is provided in the Theme Documentation for your theme.

How to Import Widgets

1. Before you import your widgets, be sure that you have installed and activated ALL of the recommended plugins for your theme, including the Widget Importer & Exporter plugin.
2. Go to your WordPress dashboard > Tools > Widget Importer and Exporter.
3. Under Import Widgets, click Choose File
4. Select the {yourtheme}-widgets.wie file in the “demo” folder in your theme and upload it. {yourtheme} will actually say the name of your theme, i.e. uptown-widgets.wie or amelia-widgets.wie.
5. All the widgets from the demo will be imported onto your Widgets page.
