You will also notice there are some categories created too – feel free to modify or remove them as needed.

The new Homepage and Blog pages will be assigned under Settings > Reading

We are not adding Blog page on Demo install as this page be any page that can be set on Settings > Reading and will show all posts same as archive style

Sometime because of Site have not enough posts to display then it looks different then demo. Demo content only installed if WordPress site is new Install.
