Cannot import Page Headers
1 reply · Started by ClearCity on January 26, 2019
Hello, I'm very happy with GeneratePress - thank you for all your hard work.
I seem to having a problem with importing page headers.
I am trying to import GeneratePress Page Headers that I created on Site #1 to Site #2.
On Site #1, I choose Tools > Export
Click on Page Headers, then download export file. On Site #2 I run the WordPress importer, select the downloaded .xml file and attempt to upload the Page Headers but keep getting this error:
Failed to import “main”: Invalid post type generate_page_header
Failed to import “Home Page”: Invalid post type generate_page_header
I did a test and exported a post from site #1 and imported it to site #2 the same way with no problem.
All modules are activated in GP Premium. I don't know if I'm missing something, or there is another way to tackle this. Please advise. How would I go about importing Page Headers?
Hi there,
I believe this is because the newest version no longer has page header as it's been replaced by Header Element.
See Tom's notes here:
https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/gpp-1-7-introducing-elements/
My suggestion would be to recreate your existing page headers with Header Element.
It's essentially the same but coding and options have been improved a lot.
Let me know if this helps :)
