HI,
I have an issue that I can’t fix by myself… I moved a number of servers and shared hosts in 2018 ( 7… ) because of speed issues, or lack of support, etc…
One thing always caused a problem: – the theme settings in the post page (the main category, subtitle, author name, etc boxes ) not copied over when I moved the site to another host, and I had to do it manually – with lots of extra hours of works.
Even I bought the wp-all-import/export plugin to make a little more help, but that also struggling to place it back to place where it should appear.
ANd all because it is an uncommon meta box and some reason something not right with it. The copied content also has inside the DB but does not appear on the post edit page at all…
Is it possible to convert those meta pieces of information to a more common ACF ( advanced custom fields)? I mean to make a separate table in the DB for the meta info?
Or some other solution to make easier to export and import when it has to?
2.:
COuld you make the plugins update more automatised?
I update the theme via the “Envato Market” plugin. Its make a very comfy way. But plugins just a mess always to de-activate, delete, download the theme package from Envato account, unpack, upload via FTP or wp- add , activate…
Why is it so complicated?
Please make the plugin updates also available via the theme settings plugins page or the WordPress update page.
Thank you for your hard work with this great theme and plugins, hope to see the more awesome feature in 2019! 🙂
Hi,
1. Should be same as before if the same database is used. If that was not the case, I imagine it would take a lot of time to set them again if there are many posts, categories tags etc.
Most users recommend the duplicator plugin which should migrate/move the database, WordPress, theme etc without losing anything.
I don’t have much experience with databases unfortunately, so I can’t gibe you an advice in the matter.
2. The tagDiv composer and the social counter plugin have an automated update implementation, so when the theme is updated they should do the same automatically. However in some cases this fails and they will deactivate themselves, so they will have to be updated manually in the theme plugins panel for example (there will be an update button)
