Export & Import Theme Options in Flatsome Theme

Want to set up a new WordPress site with your favorite Flatsome theme settings? This guide walks you through exporting and importing theme options, saving time and effort with each new setup. Let’s dive in!

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Export Theme Options from the Original Site

1. Log into Your Site: Access the WordPress dashboard of the site where your settings are saved.
2. Navigate to Flatsome Settings:
   • Go to Flatsome > Advanced.
   • Scroll down to the Backup & Import section.
3. Copy Theme Options Code:
   • Find the code box with your theme settings. Select all the code, then copy it. (Press Ctrl+C on Windows or Cmd+C on Mac.)

Tip: You can right-click and select “Copy” if that’s easier!

Step 2: Import Theme Options to the New Site

1. Log into Your New Site: Go to the WordPress dashboard for the site where you’ll apply these settings.
2. Navigate to Flatsome’s Advanced Settings:
   • Go to Flatsome > Advanced.
   • Scroll to the Backup & Import section.
3. Paste and Import:
   • Clear out any existing data in the import box, then paste the code you copied.
   • Click on Import Options to apply your settings.

Important: This will replace any existing theme options on the new site. If you have prior settings you want to keep, back them up first!

Step 3: Confirm Changes

1. Check Your Site: Visit the new site to confirm that all theme settings, including logo, navigation, styles, and typography, have successfully migrated.
2. Adjust as Needed: Make minor adjustments if needed to finalize the setup.

Since importing will override any existing settings, make a manual backup if you’re unsure about replacing current configurations. Use your hosting provider’s backup option if needed to easily restore your site if you change your mind later.
