Next, select the plugin and choose Install from the drop-down menu under the plugin list and click Apply button. This will install and activate the One Click feature to import all the demo content and settings.

Importing demo content
Now you will need to install the library and all theme settings which allows you to have your site just like the demo version.
Go to Appearance > Import Data Demo, and click on the Import Demo Data button.

Theme Customization
Your site should now look like Cleanly demo page. You can navigate to Divi -> Theme Customizer and click Cleanly Settings tab to change theme colors and fonts.
CSS Edits
If you are going to add your own custom edits – please place all your CSS code inside Theme Customizer’s Custom CSS tab or in Divi Theme Options, as all the changes made within child theme files will be lost with the automatic update. If you wish to edit or add any files in the child theme folder please do not use the automatic update feature.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to upgrade to the newest version?
Since ver 2.0 Cleanly features automatic updates. If you are using any of the previous version and you’re happy with your site the way it is, we recommend just leaving it alone and using the latest version with future projects.
If you decide to update please note:
– If you made any changes to child theme files (style.css, functions.php etc.) – they will be lost – you’d need to transfer those changes to the new child theme version first.
These are two different ways to upgrade:
1. Via FTP/File Manager – you’ll need to connect to your server via FTP or your hosting provider’s file manager (eg. cPanel). You might want to rename the folder with the current/old version of the child theme to something else – it will allow you to keep the backup of the old version, so you can use it in case the new version doesn’t work out for you. Unzip the main child theme .zip folder. Upload this folder to your /wp-content/themes/ directory. Then activate the theme in WordPress dashboard.
2. The other way is to simply delete the old theme and upload a new one. You most likely won’t need to import the demo data, unless you just want to. Remeber: While importing demo content the Theme Customizer settings will be replaced, so make sure you have a backup.
