Hello. I am currently working on migrating my site to Newspaper 11. It has been shown that this requires some changes to my templates. For example, headers and footers are stored under “Cloud Templates” and the individual sub-pages under “Pages”.
What’s the safest way to broadcast this change to the live page?
Can I simply copy the number / letter code from the changed cloud templates into the existing cloud templates on the Livepage?
Is there a better way to bring all chagend Templates into the Live-Site?
Hello,
Unfortunately for the moment, we do not have an import/export for cloud templates, sorry.
Now the best way to do this is to copy the cloud content from staging to the live website. All you need to do is to make sure that you are copy the content from a type of template and you set it in the same type. -> https://i.imgur.com/OJ5Yli3.png -> https://i.imgur.com/kdmxs0H.png (if you want you can use a blank template but it needs to have the same type) -> then paste the code -> https://i.imgur.com/LtiGzBt.png
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Hi mixos,
Normal if you make your website on staging, you need to migrate it using a migrate plugin, in this way all settings will be transferred.
You can try this guide from here -> https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/tips-tricks/import-export-wordpress-website a

If you referring only to theme panel settings, then you can use the import/export settings from theme panel https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/
Thank you!
What I would like to do is to migrate the theme and keep the content of the live site. I don’t want to migrate the staging website to live as a whole, just the theme. Any direction to this ?
Hi mixos, so you want to import only the theme templates and settings, for this you need to check the cloud templates that you are using from cloud templates section -> https://i.imgur.com/YZFb9Gh.png, those need to be copy and paste ( you need to copy the content and past it in the new website in the same cloud type, for example a cloud header must be past in a cloud header to work) after you copy theme (in case that you use), then import the theme panel settings, this can be done using the import/export option from theme panel copy the settings from here https://i.imgur.com/wIjVBO5.png and past theme in import zone in the new website after that click on the import theme settings and the website layout should be the same like in the staging.
I hope this will help you!
Hm, I am a bit confused by the process. Could you list the steps needed in more detail as 1, 2, 3 etc?
For example how to install the complete them on the live website? The same process as I have done on the staging?
Hi mixos,
I will tri to provide some more details.
First you need to check to see if you are using cloud templates -> https://i.imgur.com/7qcHcsv.png
If you use, identify the cloud templates that you edited and copy the content from them (one by one) from staging -> https://i.imgur.com/Wo4yp58.png and pasty it in the same cloud template type (header, footer, category..) in your live website.
Also if you edited pages on staging, then you need to do the same with them t get the changes on live website.
Now, after you did the above steps (in case that you use cloud templates, if you use standard templates you’ll not have cloud templates, so you can skip that part), you need to import the theme settings -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/ after that the website will have the same settings like the staging.
Also if you added new images, make sure that you add theme on the live website.
I hope this will help better!
Yes, we are using Cloud Templates and I understand the process of copying them to the live. I also understand to export the theme settings. What I don’t get is the steps before all these. Shall I install the theme on Live using the installer or just copy it someway from staging?
Hi,
If the theme is not installed on the live website, then you need to install it https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-wordpress/ but if the theme is already on the live website, just make sure that you have the same version as on staging, if you have, then is no need to copy the theme again, just copy the pages, cloud templates and import the theme panel settings.
Thank you!
