    Issue was linked to corrupted settings when installing a WordPress WooCommerce theme Flatsome, opting to not install WooCommerce, then manually installing WooCommerce later. The issue appears to be isolated to a bug with the initial Flatsome WooCommerce configuration and is not related to the plugin itself.

    The issue was resolved after essentially reinstalling the site, and letting Flatsome install WooCommerce during initial theme setup. Strange issue, but everything is working as expected now.

    The following page should help with generating a Theme Forest API key.

    @girlieworks That wouldn’t be effective in this situation, as installing demo content from themes typically wipes out old pages/posts to create their own demo content. At least this is usually what happens.

    Its possible the demo import moved your old pages and posts to the trash, in which case they’d be restorable within WordPress by moving them out of the trash. From my experience however most demo content permanently deletes the old data.

    For future reference, you can stage the domain via your system’s HOSTS file. This allows you to point a domain to a specific IP, and only works locally. More information is available here:

    This lets you bypass waiting for DNS, allowing you to immediately connect to the site on the new server. When doing site migrations, this is how we test sites prior to updating DNS to make sure the switchover goes smoothly.

    As a built in WordPress feature, no. If you have this site live at a web hosting provider, its possible your provider has an automated backup system. You could inquire in to the possibility of them restoring your account for you.

    You mentioned you had ~100 hours in to the site, so if they have daily backups then more than likely that will at least get you most of your work back.

    If your provider does not offer backup restorations, or you’re running this on a local webserver, you may be out of luck unfortunately.
