The plugin works with any registered post type โ€” posts, pages, WooCommerce products, portfolios, and any custom post type. ### Will my featured image be transferred? Yes. The featured image is automatically downloaded from the source site and re- uploaded to the destination site. ### Do I need ACF installed on both sites? If your content uses ACF fields, yes โ€” ACF should be active on both the source and destination sites for full field support. ### Can non-admin users export content? No. Only administrators can export content for security reasons. ### What file format is used? Content is exported as a standard JSON file, which is lightweight and easy to transfer between sites. ### Does it work with page builders? Yes. Since page builders like Elementor, WPBakery, and Beaver Builder store their data in postmeta and post content, all of that data is preserved during export and import. ### Can I import to a different post type? The import creates a new post using the same post type as the original. The destination site needs to have the same post type registered. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3f839613d9ea61a4e601de90ae93459fadc1e4a0d6e8441f930a6533daa3f040? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### ๓ €[Import Does Not Work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-does-not-work-10/)๓ ฟ [jamesbr139](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jamesbr139/) January 12, 2023 1 reply The import functionality does not work at all.
