You can use the WP Migrate plugin: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-migrate-db/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-migrate-db/</a> to migrate the database to another server. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/please-help-time-sensitive#post-112078 Fri, 17 May 2013 23:57:29 +0000 taliwalt 112078@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I've been trying to export my development site to a live server and have had terrible luck doing so. I've done this 5 or 6 times before with no trouble, so I went searching through this forum for some help. I found these instructions from kriesi in an old post:</p> <blockquote><p>Hey!</p> <p>You can use the undocumented export function for now that I use to create the settings for my dummy importer:<br /> When in your admin backend (any page) simply append the this to the url ?avia_export, like: <a href="http://flyingstartonline.co.uk/fs/wp-admin/?avia_export" rel="nofollow">http://flyingstartonline.co.uk/fs/wp-admin/?avia_export</a></p> <p>this generates a base64 encoded option set that you can simply copy and then save to the dummy.php file in includes/admin/dummy.php of your theme. then you either need to delete the dummy.xml file or create a wordpress XML export file rename it and replace it as well.</p> <p>Not you have backed up your installation so that you could create a clone, simply by pressing the "import dummy data" button in your themes backend.... </p></blockquote> <p>I've read through it a few times and I'm still a bit confused. Please please please can someone explain the process to me as though I were a complete imbecile (which I sometime am!) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/export-settings-moving-website-to-new-location#post-108746 Fri, 03 May 2013 17:06:45 +0000 Devin 108746@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Glad Kriesi could help :)</p> <p>I had forgotten about the serialization issue as I started using a migration tool like Kriesi suggested and it just didn't cross my mind :)</p> <p>It should do the trick for you as I've been doing it for quite a while on client sites now without issue.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/export-settings-moving-website-to-new-location#post-108637 Fri, 03 May 2013 08:41:36 +0000 Spiv 108637@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks. This is exactly what I did, search and replace in the sql dump.<br /> I'm gonna try out the migrate plugin. Thanks for the tip. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/export-settings-moving-website-to-new-location#post-108481 Thu, 02 May 2013 17:07:18 +0000 Kriesi 108481@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey!</p> <p>This sometimes happens when domain name of the old domain and the new one have a different character length. Sounds a little weird I know:</p> <p>The option page data is serialized by wordpress and then saved to the database. A serialized string allows you to save arrays and objects of data. the problem is: if you change the serialized string with a search and replace and it doesnt have the same length after the replacement than before it becomes corrupted and will no longer work.</p> <p>Most often a user sets </p> <p>- a custom logo<br /> - a favicon<br /> - adds some background images in the style editor</p> <p>all of those are saved with domain name. If you create a sql dump and then search and replace the domain names the options will no longer be valid, thus ignored. You can either just remove the option settings that contain the domain name, then do the search/replace, then import it and then upload your logo/favicon/custom images or you try to get one of the plugins that correctly convert those serialized strings for you like this one: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-migrate-db/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-migrate-db/</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/export-settings-moving-website-to-new-location#post-108464 Thu, 02 May 2013 15:52:38 +0000 Devin 108464@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Spiv,</p> <p>Using the wordpress export tool should save everything (its the same way the theme dummy data is imported). As far as I know everything is still saved in the options table.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/export-settings-moving-website-to-new-location#post-108440 Thu, 02 May 2013 14:59:50 +0000 Spiv 108440@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm having troubles with moving the website. I've done this multiple times with others, but I seem to run in troubles with all the settings from Enfold. None are in the database tables it seems. I have to set it up all again, but this is kinda troublesome, because I seriously tweaked the styling etc.</p> <p>Is there any guide to properly move this theme and all its content and settings?</p> <p>Thank you! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/exporting-choices-theme-configurationdesign-changes#post-62560 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 03:45:40 +0000 Mya 62560@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Go to Tools &gt; Export then once exported switch to live domain and go to Tools &gt; Import &gt; WordPress.

My advice would be, if you have the ability, set up another single wordpress installation and do an import of the dummy data there. Then re-create the dynamic templates exactly as you see them on the single site for your multi. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/dummy-data-import-nothing-available-in-template-builder#post-47762 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 14:52:50 +0000 colorit2 47762@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>thanks, Devin.</p> <p>I have created a fresh new testblog within my multisite installation and imported the dummy data there:<br /> all is available except of these many examples of dynamic templates. Therefore some example pages are not working as in the demo theme.</p> <p>It hasn't something to do with a multisite installation, conflicting with the importer?<br /> The Wordpress Importer plugin is and was not activated.</p> <p>It would be great for me, to get these examples of dynamic templates in my WP installation, too, to reproduce the possibilites of Corona. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/dummy-data-import-nothing-available-in-template-builder#post-47570 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 21:51:58 +0000 Devin 47570@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi colorit2,</p> <p>I'm not sure why they didn't import with the rest of the data. I wouldn't suggest doing the import dummy data again as it can cause a lot of duplicated content created.</p> <p>If you have questions on how any specific template/page was created, we can walk you through rebuilding them and populating the various elements. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/dummy-data-import-nothing-available-in-template-builder#post-47296 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 22:49:23 +0000 colorit2 47296@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>by the way: I have NOT activated the "WordPress Importer plugin" </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/dummy-data-import-nothing-available-in-template-builder#post-47212 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 18:52:01 +0000 colorit2 47212@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I've imported the dummy data.

Backup of whole database, domain replacement with plugins like: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/</a> and database export/import procedure. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/export-avia-framwork-custom-sidebars-menus#post-22236 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 16:13:56 +0000 stawnster 22236@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Upon further research.. I believe you can get around transferring the entire database. You must change the URL of your wordpress installation (admin&gt;&gt;settings&gt;&gt;general options) to the new website URL. Once done, log into your MySQL and go into the database. Select the wp_options table and click "export". I had to checkmark "save to a file" and it downloaded the table as an .SQL file. I am assuming I can simply import this file into the same wp_options table in the existing database on the new server.</p> <p>Anyone have any corrections or suggestions to the information above? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/export-avia-framwork-custom-sidebars-menus#post-22229 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 14:54:06 +0000 stawnster 22229@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Chris.. the instructions you linked simply said "download the database" which I had no clue how to do.. until now. Any newbies like me, please take note: You need to log into your hosting account's MySQL database management and download the database file that corresponds to your wordpress install.. as far as I know this cannot be done via FTP.</p> <p>Once you download the new database, you'll need to add/import/upload (not sure of the correct term) the database into your new server. Once the database file is uploaded, you'll also need to modify the wp_config.php file to reference the new database file. </p> <p>I haven't actually done this yet, but I've forwarded it to the administrator of the account. Can some please tell me if I have all of my details correct, or if I am missing anything? Thanks! </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/export-avia-framwork-custom-sidebars-menus#post-22139 Wed, 06 Jul 2011 22:57:36 +0000 Chris Beard 22139@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Theme options are stored in wp_options in your database, if everything is transferred your options should be there. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/export-avia-framwork-custom-sidebars-menus#post-22131 Wed, 06 Jul 2011 18:16:16 +0000 stawnster 22131@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Everything is already transferred, all I need is the location of the files where the theme options are stored, PLEASE help with this? :) </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/export-avia-framwork-custom-sidebars-menus#post-22064 Tue, 05 Jul 2011 22:06:33 +0000 Chris Beard 22064@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,</p> <p>Did you follow <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_to_a_New_Server">these</a> instructions? </p>
