Theme Options not migrating

    I am currently using the “Heat Premium WordPress Theme” from Themeforest. After creating and customizing the site on a development server, I migrated it to the live server and the Theme Options did not go with it. I carefully made sure the “option_tree” record copied over exactly in myPhpAdmin and they are identical–yet in the Theme Options only the default settings come up.

    In the process of migration, I activated the theme on a fresh install of WordPress (so that all the fields were ready for import), manually copied all of the theme’s files, and imported the database via myPhpAdmin.

    Any ideas of why the custom settings aren’t showing up in the Theme Options panel when I can see them in the database?

    Hey quardt,

    You need to copy and paste the code from the “Export” fields on your dev server, to the the “Import” fields on your live server. See below for a step-by-step guide:

    1. Login to WP Admin on your dev server
    2. Click on “Option Tree”
    3. Click on “Export”
    4. Highlight everything in the “Settings” textarea, then Ctrl/Cmd + C (copy)
    5. Open a new tab and login to WP Admin on your live server
    6. Click on “Option Tree”
    7. Click on “Exports”
    8. Paste (Ctrl/Cmd + V) into “Settings”
    9. Click on “Import Settings”
    10. Repeat the steps above for Theme Options if you’d like the data for each field to be repopulated

    Hope that helps
