Hi there,
I’ve got a few sites using the Newspaper theme (all with their own license!) and I wondered if it was possible to export a template made using TagDiv composer from one site and then import it to use on another website, with a separate install of Newspaper?
I know you can export/import settings – but can you export/import templates too? It’d be a really useful feature to have a consistent look across a family of websites…
Cheers,
Sam
Hello Sam!
Sure. Edit it normally (without TagDiv Composer) and copy-paste the code generated by our builder into a new page on another install: https://prnt.sc/OLnB8_5i3v0d
Thank you!
Ideal, thanks for your help!
I just tried using this method and it didn’t work for me. Layout is different and images are placed in the wrong spots. I haven’t done any special css or images outside of what comes with the template.
Hello!
It is possible that you have different settings in the theme panel for the elements from that page. Check the settings from Gutenberg to ensure they are the same. Make sure you’ve selected all the codes from the page. Check if you have any other CSS in the live CSS section or theme panel -> custom code -> custom CSS.
Thank you!
Sorry let me be more clear. I just made a new install of wordpress as a multisite. On the main site I installed the theme and template I wished to use. All I changed was the layout. No images. No added code. Just the layout. I didn’t import any new blocks or anything. I just moved around what was on the screen.
After I went to one of the sub-sites, installed the same theme. I went to the first install, copied what I created for my home page (as you showed above), then imported it to the sub-site. I made sure I selected all and copy/paste it. When I looked at the subs-site page the fonts were different, images were in the wrong area, and sections were missing.
I looked at this again, its two specific areas that were left out. Any spot showing “spot_img” the image is broken. I think this is tied to the Adbox Element. And one other section where I have a “single background image” element showing (where its supposed to show a bunch of logos next to one another). Instead of showing what its supposed to, its pulling random images from the mega menu and placing them there.
Also let me correct my second response. I tried two different methods of import/export. First I tried using the Theme Panel “Export/Import”. When I did this, thats when I got different font sizes, headers would be missing etc. The second method I used was the one you mentioned above. Using WordPress composer and copying that code and pasting it. Thats when I got the broken images etc as you see in the image.
Hello!
Do you have the image in your new WordPress install? Try to place it again in the tagdiv Composer. Make sure you copy the page code and not the homepage template.
Thank you!
The ad image? Yes. It’s there. Why is shows up broken I have no idea. Both installs are using the same template and all the included content. The only difference is the main one layout is different. I’m trying to copy this layout to the other sites with the exact same everything.
And just so I’m clear. When you say homepage template, do you mean exporting using the theme panel? Or do you mean copying the shortcode from the WordPress page composer? I’m assuming the latter.
Just so I’m super clear. Can you explain what the Import/Export in theme panel is supposed to make a copy of related to the site? Does this information contain the layout? (the elements added, colors, fonts used etc)? If it does not, what is the best method to use if this is what I’m trying to do?
And the shortcode that each page produce and you see when viewing using the WordPress
page composer what does that contain? How are these two ways different?
Hello!
No. I mean the Cloud Templates. You can also import the template from the Cloud Library.
The theme panel Import/Export is taking only the theme panel settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/
It doesn’t take the settings you made in the tagdiv Composer. You better use the Duplicator plugin to move the entire project.
The encoded code of your homepage when you edit it with Gutenberg contains the whole page with its settings. For example, if you assigned a global font or global color on an element in the page, you should have it also in the new website in the Website Manager section in the tagdiv Composer to be validated.
Thank you!
