Hello,

I wish to completely redesign a website which has been badly designed by someone else. The original theme was Virtue premium and now I want to redesign it via Ascend with a vertical menu.

I have installed and activated Ascend premium and accessed the kadence importer but am concerned about overriding all the present content. On going to tools > kadence importer the following notice comes up:

(*Using this importer will override all your theme options settings.

*This importer is designed for new/empty sites with no content.

*If you want to reset your site after testing out the demo content you can use this plugin:WordPress Reset)

I want to redesign it with the Ascend demo that has a vertical menu, but at the moment there is another design which has completely changed the site but maintained the content. I would like that to happen but with the demo that has the vertical menu. I tried to import that demo, with some trepidation as to how it might overall the content, but it failed to import.

Another option is to start from scratch (I have saved all the content and have a back up of the site – using Duplicator plug in) and build it up via page builder and pasting the saved content.

Questions:

1) Which option would you suggest?
2) What might be the problem with importing the Ascend demo with the vertical menu?
2) If I chose to erase it all, how would I do that?

Thank you,
Paul
