Yes you’re right, by default WordPress only uploads demo content using the importer by default. You can use other plugins to import content, but the WordPress default content importer only uploads Content such as Pages, Posts, and User Info…..it doesn’t add Widgets or their content/code. However, if you want to figure out how the demo was setup with the widget content, you can take a look at the tutorials/code snippets located here – https://appfinite.com/forum/epik-theme-support/ The code snippets/tutorials are located at the top of the Epik forum. They are the yellow sticky posts at the very top of the forum.
