Why Import or Export customizer settings WordPress

If you are looking for a way to export or import theme customizer settings in WordPress, you have come to the right place. WordPress themes permit us to set up a website with the theme customizer. Furthermore, it allows us to change colors, background images, header images, choose layout settings, and so on. Additionally, certain paid and free themes offer more settings in the customizer.

Furthermore, importing or exporting theme customizer settings in WordPress allows us to move the settings between websites without moving content and database.

How to import customizer settings WordPress

Importing customizer settings involves choosing the export file we want to import and then deciding if we want to download and import images. Finally, we have to click the Import buttons. After importing the settings, the page will refresh, taking us to the new design.

Alternatively, we can also get the job done by installing and activating the Customize Export/Import plugin on the sites where we want to export/import.

How to export customizer settings WordPress

According to our Support Techs, we can easily export customizer settings. First, click the Export button in the customizer. This causes a file to automatically download with our settings.

Our Support Team would like to point out that the export files are named after the theme. Additionally, these files can be used only to import settings for the child theme or theme that they come from. These export files consist of a dump of mods via the customizer settings or get_theme_mods function.

How to export custom options

Developers have access to arbitrary options by using the cei_export_option_keys filter. We can export and import these options by adding the option key as seen below:

function my_export_option_keys( $keys ) {
    $keys[] = 'my_option_key';
    $keys[] = 'another_option_key';
    return $keys;
}

add_filter( 'cei_export_option_keys', 'my_export_option_keys' );
