coping site does not copy GP settings
1 reply · Started by frank decicco on June 1, 2015
I copied a site (all wp folders and files) with GP theme and premium plugins installed from its server to my local, changed all db references from prod domain to localhost, changed wp-config and everything works well except all the GP settings. The site looks like the plain default GP theme with none of my settings.
any idea why this is happening?
I have done this sort of quick and dirty coping many times before with other themes and never had similar fundamental issues.
Thanks, Frank.
All GP settings are stored in the wp_options database table, so if you copied that over, all of the settings should still be there.
Nothing fancy going on with the GP settings - they're stored in the same area all themes and plugins store their options.
You can use the Import/Export add-on to export the settings in json files and import them into the new site if the wp_options table isn't fully moving over for some reason.
Let me know :)
