Setup Smart One Click Setup for your theme and your users will thank you for it!

Follow this easy guide on how to setup this plugin for your themes!

Are you a theme user?

Contact the author of your theme and let them know about this plugin. Theme authors can make any theme compatible with this plugin in 15 minutes and make it much more user-friendly.

Please take a look at our plugin documentation for more information on how to import your demo content.

Important Note: There is no setting to “connect” authors from the demo import file to the existing users in your WP site (like there is in the original WP Importer plugin). All demo content will be imported under the current user.

External services

This plugin may connect to external services to fetch demo import configurations and download import files. This functionality is only active when configured by theme authors or developers.

Demo API Service

This plugin can connect to a remote API service to automatically fetch and register demo import configurations. This feature is used to provide users with a list of available demo imports for their theme.

What data is sent and when:

  • The plugin sends a GET request to a remote API endpoint to retrieve demo import configurations
  • The API URL is constructed from a base URL (configured via the smartocs/demo_api_base_url filter) and the current theme name
  • The theme name (TextDomain or stylesheet directory name) is included in the API URL path
  • This request is made when the plugin initializes and checks for available demo imports
  • The API response is cached for 1 hour (configurable via smartocs/demo_api_cache_duration filter) to reduce external requests
  • No personal data, user information, or site-specific data is transmitted to the API service

Example API URL format:
{base_url}/{theme_name}/demos.json

About External Domains

This plugin does not include, define, or ship with any default API domain, endpoint, or external server.
The plugin code contains no hard-coded URLs.

All external domains used by the plugin come entirely from the theme author or developer via the smartocs/demo_api_base_url filter.

If a theme developer does not provide an API base URL, the plugin will not make any external requests.
In this case, it operates only with locally bundled or manually provided demo files.

This means the plugin never contacts any external service by itself, and only does so when explicitly configured by the theme developer.
This plugin does not provide a service of its own. It only acts as a bridge to fetch files from URLs defined by the theme author.

This plugin facilitates the import of demo content by connecting to an external server.

  • Service: Theme Demo Content Delivery
  • Service Provider: The specific server and endpoint are defined dynamically by the active theme via the smartocs/demo_api_base_url filter. This plugin has no default connection.
  • Data Sent: The user’s IP address and a request for the demo content package.
  • Privacy Policy & Terms of Service: Since the external server is chosen by the theme developer, please refer to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service provided by the author of your active theme.

When this service is used:

  • Only when a theme author or developer has configured the API base URL using the smartocs/demo_api_base_url filter
  • The service is optional and not required for plugin functionality
  • If no API base URL is configured, the plugin works normally with locally defined or manually uploaded import files

Service provider information:

The API service provider is determined by the theme author or developer who configures the smartocs/demo_api_base_url filter. Theme authors are responsible for:
* Providing the API base URL to their users
* Ensuring their API service has appropriate terms of service and privacy policy
* Disclosing any data collection or usage by their API service

Remote file downloads:

The plugin may also download import files (ZIP archives, XML files, JSON files, etc.) from remote URLs when:
* Theme authors have configured remote URLs for demo imports
* Users manually specify remote URLs for import files
* The plugin needs to fetch import files from external sources

These downloads are standard HTTP GET requests to retrieve file content. No additional data beyond standard HTTP headers is sent during these requests.

Privacy and data protection:

  • The plugin does not collect or transmit personal user data to external services
  • Only theme identification information (theme name) is included in API requests
  • All external requests use WordPress’s built-in wp_remote_get() function with proper SSL verification
  • Theme authors should ensure their API services comply with applicable privacy laws and regulations

Disabling external services:

If you wish to disable external API calls, simply do not configure the smartocs/demo_api_base_url filter. The plugin will function normally using only locally defined or manually uploaded import files.

  • JSON Object Format: {"option_name_1": "value1", "option_name_2": "value2"} – uses provided values directly
  • All plugin settings packaged in one ZIP file

What JSON formats are supported for custom plugin options?

Starting from version 1.2.2, you can add custom plugin options using two JSON formats:

JSON Array Format – Use when you want to fetch current values from the database. All items must be non-empty strings (option names). Values are automatically fetched from the database during export.

JSON Object Format – Use when you want to provide specific custom values. Keys must be non-empty strings (option names). Values can be any valid JSON type: strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, objects, null. Values are used directly during export (not fetched from database).

How to Use:
1. Go to Appearance Smart Export
2. Select the plugins you want to export
3. Click the settings button (⚙️) next to any plugin
4. Enter your custom options in the modal using either format
5. The plugin will validate your JSON and save it
6. Export as usual – custom options will be included automatically

For detailed examples and usage instructions, please refer to the plugin documentation.

Where are the demo import files and the log files saved?

The files used in the demo import will be saved to the default WordPress uploads directory (e.g., ../wp-content/uploads/2023/03/).

The log file will also be registered in the wp-admin -> Media section, so you can access it easily.

For Developers

Are you a theme author or developer looking to integrate Smart One Click Setup into your theme? For comprehensive documentation including hooks, filters, WP-CLI commands, and code examples, please visit our developer documentation.

Remote Demo Management:

Looking for a way to manage your theme demo files remotely? SmartOCS Cloud is a premium PHP script that allows theme developers to manage their theme demo files remotely for Smart One Click Setup. With SmartOCS Cloud, you can update demo files and configurations from a central location without updating your theme.

I can’t activate the plugin, because of a fatal error, what can I do?

If you see the error “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error”, this usually means your hosting server is using a very old version of PHP.

This plugin requires PHP version 7.4 or higher (we recommend 8.0 or higher). Please contact your hosting company and ask them to update the PHP version for your site.
