I already have an existing wordpress site so I can not use the site shaper. Can you please identify which widgets are used in the demo and their corresponding positions? Please let me know any other information I need to replicate the demo page.

Thanks!

There are too many widgets for me to be able to do that, but you can always install the shaper on your local computer using WAMP, MAMP, or (my favorite) XAMPP, and use that local install as a reference.

You will definitely want to upload the plugins and uploads folders from the shaper, even if your'e not using the shaper to install, because the plugins improve the function of the theme, and the theme settings are stored in the uploads folder.

I installed the theme. I'm sorry your reply is greek to me. I have installed the 7 wordpress extension plugins.

I particularly need to know what widgets are on the homepage. Slider?

Is the content on your existing site important?  If not, you can use FileZilla to overwrite your site with the files from the shaper and then run the "Sample Data Injector" plugin to get all the demo content added automatically.  Activating that plugin will erase all existing content, so only use it if you're absolutely certain you want to do that.

You could, however, export your content (Settings -> Export), run the injector, then re-import your content (Settings -> Import -> Wordpress).  That would give you all the demo content while still restoring all existing content.  (NOTE: If you chose to attempt this method, it is at your own risk; Shape5 and I are not responsible if you are unable to restore your site content.)

As said previously, there is too much sample data for me to provide through the forum, but you can attempt the method above, or install the site shaper somewhere else and copy the content from the second install.

You can also visit the demo and use the ?tp=1 or ?tp=2 URL flags to see what positions all the widgets are in:

http://shape5.com/demo/wp/corporate-response/?tp=1
  -  Will show all positions and the wiget IDs, which should hint at the type

http://shape5.com/demo/wp/corporate-response/?tp=2
  -  Will show all positions (but not IDs)

Firebug will make it easier to modify your site appearance once you've figured everything out.

I dont have that much content on the site right now. Can we pay you to install everything so the site looks like the demo? at this point, this is above my wordpress skill level. This is the most complicated theme install I've ever done.

If you can provide a URL, FTP access, and Login info, I can try the process mentioned in my previous post, but I'll need to have written authorization from you stating that you understand there is a possibility that your existing content may be lost, and that you are willing to take that risk.

I would suggest also doing a server-level backup of the site beforehand, just in case you need to roll it back.
