A small fixup

By spyrulis on February 4, 2024

Thanks for the awesome plugin, it saved me some hours.
I encountered a small problem that you can reproduce with the theme called Hestia, this theme doesn't appear to have the value “Template” at the beginning of its styles.css so moving the configs to a child theme didn't work.
I simply removed the lines around 300 in :
customizer-export-import/classes/class-cei-core.php

//if ( $data['template'] != $template ) {
//	$cei_error = __( 'Error importing settings! The settings you uploaded are not for the current theme.', 'customizer-export-import' );
//	return;
//}

I wonder why this is not included in the core

Doing what it should - great! And thanks, saved me a lot of work!

Timesaver! After I fixed the export file...

It wasn't working out of the box for me the first 4 attempts. So, I took a look at the parent's export.dat file and noticed like 7 empty spaces at the top of the file. So I deleted them and tried again and what do you know it worked...

Fantastico!

1, 2, 3, done!

It's ok, not that good with Kirki

By wowthemesnet on March 18, 2023

It doesn't completely exports Kirki customizations but thank you for this plugin and your effort!

Excellent plugin. Does what it promises.

Does what it's supposed to and follows WP coding standards ;)

This should be in the core WP tools!

By TrishaM on January 26, 2022

Awesome plugin, simple and does exactly what it says, allows you to export and then import all Theme customizations when switching form a parent theme to a child theme - this saved me hours of work! Kudos and huge thanks to the Beaver Builder development team :-)
