We did a lot of work cutomizing an existing website with your theme on our dev environment, I mean we use a lot of what you call visual composer, now we’d like to go to preprod then prod. The thing is the database already exists on live and we’d like to be able to export/import what we already did on dev otherwise it will cost us again a lot of times,

Best regards,

Fabien

Hello,
You can export and import to an existing WP installation (pages, posts, attachment, images) using the import/export *xml file from wordpress. http://screencast.com/t/6M8OGJ2wq

Hello Marius, yes I know this solution but the thing is it’s not so easy for us as we have lots of bespoke custom post fields/type which are tighly coupled to other things and the import/export function can’t handle this. And just to let you know last time I tried the export stuff for our currents posts/pages its generated more than 70 xml files and it’s difficult to check (just for that) that everything went fine.

Hello,
Move the database and all files on the new location and add this in wp-config.php with new site path

define('WP_HOME','http://your site');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://your site');

Hope you manage it
Thanks for the message!
