How to install sample data after the installation is already done?

Question

I made a wrong choice in the configuration of Joomla.

I wanted to have Default English (GB) Sample Data but I gave the first choice.

enter image description here

I need the protostar template as it is in “Default English (GB) Sample Data” version and not as the default.

I have to work with the project I created and I can’t create a new one in order to set the right choice. What I tried is to take the version of protostar template from the version of “Default English (GB) Sample Data” an make it a zip and upload it as a new extension-template.

But it gives me the message

   Warning
   Template Install: There is already a Template using the named directory: Install. Are you trying to install the same template again?

What can I do in order to upload the version I want?

Answer 1

As noted in the comments already, the Protostar template is installed perfectly fine in your installation.

The default sample data would only add some modules to the page. But this is unrelated to the template itself.

It looks like this without sample data

and this is with the default sample data

The difference is that with the sample data you have

• The "Main Menu" module on position-1 (the "Home" button)
• An custom HTML module showing a picture on position-3
• The "Popular Tags" and "Latest Articles" modules on position-7 (right sidebar)
• An article "Getting Started" assigned to the homepage
