What an import includes
Understand what to review and what needs separate setup.
OffPress uses the content and design it can read from your existing site. What arrives depends on the source site, its access settings, and the features it uses.
Content and design
Review the imported pages, posts, media, navigation, page addresses, and search metadata. Route/layout counts, content-record counts, and media counts describe different parts of the import; a prepared page layout does not prove every linked record or file is present. The import aims to bring across your current design, but you should compare the result on desktop and phone screens.
Some layouts or interactive features may need a follow-up request. Tell OffPress which page to change and how it should behave.
Features that need separate setup
| Source feature | What to do in OffPress |
|---|---|
| WordPress plugins | Test the feature they provided. Ask OffPress to recreate the behavior you need. Plugin code is not a running OffPress feature. |
| Contact and signup forms | Check fields, delivery, and consent settings. Submit a test. |
| Payment providers | Configure the site’s payment settings and test checkout. |
| Paid download files | Upload or select the private file within the product’s Options & delivery settings. |
| Historical orders or subscriptions | Plan the transfer separately before retiring your old store. |
| Email subscribers | Check your existing provider. Subscriber lists are not imported automatically. |
| Customer and member logins | Set up accounts and access rules separately. Do not assume old passwords will work. |
| Private or blocked pages | Make the needed content available or supply it separately. |
Keep the original site available
Importing does not move your domain or cancel your old hosting. Keep the old site available until you have reviewed the preview, published the new site, and checked your domain.
Use Review an imported site as your checklist. If you find missing content, give OffPress the original page address and describe what is missing.
