It's easy to create a WordPress site in the Nicepage desktop app and import it into WordPress. The problem is, after you import it, there's no easy way to update it. If you make changes in the desktop app and import again, it creates duplicates of all the images in your Media library, creates duplicate menus and changes all the page URLs. This happens even if you select the "Remove previously imported content" option.
When you select the option to remove previously imported content, it should do just that. It should delete existing images from the Media library, it should delete the existing menus and it should permanently delete (not trash) the existing pages. When you move pages into the trash in WordPress, the page URL still exists in the database, so when you import a new version of the page with the same slug, it appends a number to the slug, like somepageslug-2. Therefore, it needs to permanently delete the existing pages prior to import.
I see many other people complaining about this issue in the forum, and the typical response from support is to edit the pages using the WordPress plugin, rather than continuing to make changes in the desktop app. The WordPress plugin is nice, but when I create a site in the desktop app, I want to be able to continue working in that app after the site is live, because it's a much more organized approach. That way, I have all my sites in one app, rather than having to log in separately to each site. Ideally, the app would be smart enough to synchronize with WordPress, rather than having to manually delete all your existing content and start over from scratch each time you make changes. If a client calls me to request a change, I should be able to open his site in the desktop app, make the change, then press a Publish button and have it sync that change to his WordPress site. Even better if it was possible to do a bi-directional sync, so you could make changes in WordPress and sync those changes back to the desktop app.
Implementing synchronization would really take Nicepage to the next level and make it ideal for professional web design. In the meantime, please fix the "Remove previously imported content" option so it actually removes all the content prior to importing. It's a huge pain to have to manually delete all images, all menus, and all pages each time I make a change in the desktop app.
