Hi,
In one of you training videos for installing child themes you mention “exporting options before installing theme and then reloading those options into the child theme once installed”.
How do I export the options and settings (and possibly the customizer additions i have made) so that i can migrate the site I created to a live hosted space?
my site is : pamela.sinonramsey.com
pamela.simonramsey.com typo
Hi Simon,
At first make sure you’ve activated all the same plugins in live site as like you’ve in local.
1) There is export Tool in Customizer Menu, direct link: http://pamela.simonramsey.com wp-admin/customize.php?page=export (File extension .json)
2) Click on ‘Download XCS file’ into your computer, now go to live site, install X & import this file using Customizer > Import, direct link: http://pamela.simonramsey.com wp-admin/customize.php?page=export
3) Now, from local site Export all of posts, pages etc & download the exported file. The default Export Link is under Tools menu. Read more about it here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Tools_Export_Screen (File extension .xml)
4) Now, go to Live site & Import the downloaded .xml file into it. Read more for help here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Tools_Import_Screen
5) Now, got Appearance > Menus of new site & create menus like your localsite.
Hope these helps, Cheers!
I am still unclear where to access the export option on the customizer. When I tried copying the link above (tweeked to match my URL) I was told I didn’t have permission.
Hi there,
Export option is located under X Addons -> Customizer Manager.
Thank you.
