FAQ
-
Does Ansar Import work with Astra, Neve, and Blocksy?
-
Yes! Ansar Import is fully compatible with Astra, Neve, Blocksy, and other popular WordPress themes:
* You can import Block Editor (Gutenberg) and Elementor starter sites and use the In-Editor Section & Page Template Library directly on Astra, Neve, Blocksy, or any Full Site Editing (FSE) Block Theme.
* If you select a classic starter site built for a specific free ThemeAnsar theme (such as Newsup, Blogus, Newses, Newsxo, or Blogier), Ansar Import can also automatically install and activate that free theme from WordPress.org for you in one click. -
Should I keep Ansar Import active after importing a starter site?
-
Yes! Keeping Ansar Import active gives you ongoing access to the In-Editor Section & Page Template Library inside the WordPress Block Editor whenever you create new pages or posts, plus instant access to new starter templates as they are released. Because Ansar Import only runs in the admin area when used, keeping it active adds zero frontend load to your website.
-
What happens if I deactivate Ansar Import later?
-
All imported pages, posts, images, menus, widgets, and customizer settings are saved permanently in your WordPress database. Your website will continue to work normally, though you will lose access to the in-editor Section & Page Template Library until you reactivate it.
-
Does Ansar Import work with both Elementor and Gutenberg Block Editor?
-
Yes! Ansar Import includes a built-in editor switcher supporting Gutenberg / Block Editor, Elementor, and Classic Theme starter sites.
-
Will importing a demo overwrite my existing posts or pages?
-
No, importing a starter site will not delete your existing posts or pages. However, for the cleanest result that matches the live demo preview, we recommend importing a full starter site on a fresh WordPress installation, or using the In-Editor Template Library to insert individual sections/pages on an existing site.
-
What if my hosting server is slow or blocks GitHub downloads?
-
Ansar Import features a built-in jsDelivr CDN failover engine and automatic timeout recovery, ensuring demo content, widgets, and customizer files download reliably even on restricted or shared hosting environments.
-
What is the plugin license?
-
This plugin is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later (GPLv3+).
