Import, steps 5 and 6: data and design

Step 5: Data

Websites that store their own content, such as projects or tours, bring custom post types, taxonomies and fields. The Data step decides where they go. A website without them skips straight to Design.

• Create the fields in Etch’s built-in custom fields (nothing to install) or in Advanced Custom Fields / Secure Custom Fields.
• Field mapping. Check how each field of the website maps to a field on your site. Dynamic tags in templates and loops follow the mapping.
• Post types and taxonomies are created for you. Existing ones with the same name are reused, never replaced.
• Etch also reads Meta Box and JetEngine data, so those plugins are shown when you have them.

Step 6: Design

The design runs on Automatic.css. Choose one of two ways:

• Apply a brand kit and tokens. Pick the recommended kit, any other kit, or No brand kit to start from your current settings. Then fine-tune the tokens. Changing the kit resets them; only the values you edit are saved on top of the kit. You can undo it later.
• Keep my Automatic.css settings. Only the website’s own styles are added, and it adapts to your tokens.
