Transferring site to a new host and newly registered theme, site looks different

Posted in: Newspaper

When moving a client’s site, I purchased a new license under my business as his old website person had it registered in their name. I copied everything over and for some reason, the header is different and does not look anything like the original site. Are there settings within the theme panel that are not transferred over or are only available to the registered theme owner?

Hello,

Using the import/export option from the theme will allow you to import only the theme panel settings, the cloud templates go in tool > export – https://i.imgur.com/3Wxk885.png then to import you need to go in tool > import, then install the wordpress importer and clink on run import – https://i.imgur.com/tyxoVvg.png
Also, you have to use a plugin for migrate https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

Thank you!

Yes, I used Updraft Plus to export the site and uploaded the files via FTP to the proper folder. Used the export theme settings and imported that as well as what you had just explained for the cloud template(appeared to be empty). The header logo is back, but the nav menu is not the same and the heading font is different. Inspecting the element on the old site shows the font used as Satisfy, yet on the imported site it shows a standard font.

I checked the header style and it is style 10 for both, not sure what is missing at this point. I alter my .hosts file so I can change back and forth to see the new site from the old. (not that it matters for transferring files)

It appears as though I have to go page by page and change the heading fonts one by one. I also noticed that the button colors used did not transfer over either.

Hi,

You need to edit with tagDiv Composer and change the font for each element that you want https://i.imgur.com/xp4zoTb.jpg

Also, you can use global font from Manager(Website Manager) -> Global fonts -> https://i.imgur.com/iY0bh4Y.png
