Genesis Extra Settings Transporter - Migrate Settings between Genesis Sites

Just see plugin's page (you are on it right now) for a typical workflow example.

Good question, hehe :). Simple answer: not possible as these settings belong to the actual post meta. You can always import & export all posts/ pages/ custom post types via the NATIVE WORDPRESS export and import functionality. This applies for any inpost/ inpage/ CPT post meta settings in WordPress generally. All administrator users have access to "Tools" in the left-hand admin menu and could do exports and imports.

That's just not possible yet. Still, there is no such functionality in WordPress core as is in Genesis yet! However, there's a nice third-party plugin for that purpose: "Widget Importer & Exporter"

I can only support plugins and child themes that make use of the WordPress/ Genesis settings API and use a settings field other than that from Genesis itself. Will more developers add this to their work I could add support in this helper plugin. It's as simple as that :). The way better alternative, though, is, when developers add that little hook in to the Genesis Exporter natively! In this case I might remove support here for such a plugin/ child theme, of course. Also note, some plugins have 1 or 2 little settings included in Genesis Theme Settings, therefore THESE settings are then included in the default, native Genesis export file. So you'll already have these safe for your exports and imports as well.

"Prose" natively includes its settings on the Genesis exporter page, so you're already hooked up! You can export and import all "Design Settings" at any time!

Just make sure you have the very same versions of the plugins or child themes installed. If you have a development and live install, just make sure, both have "Genesis Simple Hooks, version 1.8.0.2" installed, to name an example. -- Reason: Sometimes setting field names could differ between different versions, or settings may be added or removed in newer/ older versions.

Just to clarify: This plugin here does NO export/ import ON ITS OWN! It just hooks in to the existing Genesis Exporter feature and leverages existing Genesis & WordPress functionality :).

• For custom and update-safe language files please upload them to /wp-content/languages/genesis-extra-settings-transporter/ (just create this folder) - This enables you to use fully custom translations that won't be overridden on plugin updates. Also, complete custom English wording is possible with that as well, just use a language file like genesis-extra-settings-transporter-en_US.mo/.po to achieve that (for creating one see the following tools).

Exporting and importing settings for plugins like "Genesis Simple Hooks" or my own "Genesis Layout Extras" plugin was always a "nice to have". Now, that I've found out Genesis had a filter for that - thanks to Genesis developer Gary Jones! - I just created this plugin. It's a small tool I need and use myself. My hope is that it may help other users and developers as well! :) ENJOY!
