    Hi,

    I am trying to switch from my current theme to Geocraft. I've installed 1.8.3 successful however once activated the listings no longer show properly. They are listed as expired, images are not visible, etc.
    Is there something I am missing, a specific process/steps to be followed when migrating?

    Thanks.

    Thanks Gourav, this is a great guide and I've learned some good things from it however it doesn't help with my issue.
    My website is currently running a Wordpress theme not developed by InkThemes.
    If I try to switch to the Geocraft 1.8.3 successful all the listings are listed as expired their images are not visible, the address is missing. If I switch back to the other theme the listings are working properly.
    Given the above I assume the database schema or the data fields are not the same.
    I really like the Geocraft theme and I would like to use but I have over 200 listings and I am not planning to add them from scratch.
    Is there something I am missing, a specific process/steps to be followed when migrating from one theme to another?

    Hello,

    Go to the
    Dashboard > Geocraft settings > import/export
    Export demo csv file from there and add your listing details in it.
    And then import it.

    Note: Please do not change title fields position in the csv file.


    Thanks & Regards

    Thank you, I've tried but it didn't work, the xml didn't contain the information.
    I have to manually edit every single listing in order to update most of the information, the expiry date, the image, the address, phone number, email address, category, etc.
