The best practice for moving theme?
1 reply · Started by Hung on December 26, 2021
So, I developed a theme on my test server with GP Premium and GP child theme. On the production server, the customer has another theme running with GP already. I tried to:
- export customization from the test server: Appearance - GeneratePress - Export
- uploaded the child theme to the new server.
- activated the new child theme.
- import customization on the new server: Appearance - GeneratePress - Import
However, it looks like that the importation is not taking any file related to the new child theme. Also, the source is still pointed to the developing address. For example, logo is now trying to load from https://test-address/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/logo.png
It seems the import process didn't change the test-address to the production-address? Do I need to check with Chrome Developer Tools, and fix manually all the errors like that?
Hi there,
A plugin like this should work:

There should be lots of other articles on Google suggesting various methods as well as it's not a theme-specific issue :)
