Plus » Options Migration

SE RO KA FL ES BR AN

Plus only

This functionality is only available in the Plus themes.

The Plus themes are capable of looking for and importing existing options from their free counterpart. A notification is displayed if the base theme has been used on the site and its configuration is still present in the database. At the same time, the migration functionality is enabled.

Perform the migration if you wish to migrate your site from the base theme to the Plus one while retaining as much of the existing options and configuration as possible. Note that this not quite 100% migration as the Plus theme has additional options which will continue to use their default values and may not match the existing appearance. These additional options will need to be manually adjusted after options migration.

Additionally, particular theme-related WordPress options may require (re)setting after activating the Plus theme. These include:

• background image and colour
• header image
• menu associations (sometimes with multi-lingual plugins or custom menu plugins)
• widget placement (in rare instances and complex plugin setups)

Important

Performing an options migration from the base theme will overwrite all of the Plus theme's options. This procedure should only be performed on a fresh install or if you are sure you want to replace the existing Plus theme configuration.
