My site, http://www.mustaphamugisa.com is already running.

I would now like to make it look similar like the demo site without deleting the current contents or changing the crawled URLs. How do I do that?

Kind regards,

Hello

for this follow these suggestions

1. take a backup of your site
2. install the backup on your test server with a new DB
3. now read the documentation of JA for know more about the common points ,compatibility.
4. Then create a demo by demo builder >>>>http://prntscr.com/48relg
5. Follow the module ,menu,articles from the demo site (created by demo builder)
6. and apply the changes on your site .

don`t play with your live site , always take backup of your site before custom changes .

Hope it helps

This process is like redoing the entire site! It takes many hours! Is there another way of doing it, considering that I had used quick installation in the first place to develop the one live on now. / Mustapha

You can skip 1 and 2 second step . But make sure your are playing with your live site .
Documentation and demo builder will help you to customization of yoyr site to make it same like demo.
Take back copy before apply the changes.
There is on other way to apply everyting and make site same like demo in very quick time .
