In this presentation we will use the Desktop version to show you how to export and to install the Nicepage Template and the Content in Joomla.

Installing Nicepage

Download and install the application. Nicepage will start automatically. Activate or continue the Trial. In Nicepage, start with creating a New Website.

Export Options

Please note that there are Export Options available for Joomla and WordPress. You can export only the Nicepage Template without content. Secondly, you can export only the Content created in Nicepage which will also include the Nicepage Plugin for Joomla. The third option is used to export both the Template and the Content.

To set a position for the menu go to Extensions - Modules. Click New to add the new Menu Module. Select Menu in the “Select a Module Type” Dialog. Enter your Menu Title. Select Menu.
