How to remove starter sites content?
To get your site back to a clean state after importing a Starter Site, you have two straightforward options:
Option 1: Manual Removal
The most effective way to remove the starter site content is to delete the imported assets manually:
- Pages: Go to Pages > All Pages, select the imported pages (like Home, About, Contact), and move them to Trash.
- Posts: Similarly, go to Posts > All Posts and trash any demo articles.
- Customizer Settings: To reset the header/footer and colors, go to Appearance > Customize and manually revert these.
- Additional CSS: If the site used Neve's built-in Default starter content, go to Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and remove the block that starts with
/* ---- Default starter content ---- */and contains.folio-*selectors. - Permalinks: Neve may switch a fresh site with plain permalinks to
/%postname%/when the built-in Default starter content is published. If you do not want pretty permalinks, change this under Settings > Permalinks.
Option 2: Overwrite with a New Site
If you intended to use a different starter site instead, you can simply import the new one. It will replace the global styling (colors/typography), and you can then delete the old pages from the first import.
