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.
