Copy saved menu from one site to another.

    Is it possible to copy a saved menu from one website to another?

    I have a website that holds my ‘template’ for any new site I develop. The menu is perfect in the template but when I copy it, the menu goes back to normal.

    I use Duplicator to move from one site to another. So it should be copying all the files and database tables.

    Any help appreciated, I don’t like having to fix my menu for every new site.

    Thanks,
    Leslie

    Normally just copying the appropriate database entries is enough. When that doesn’t work, it’s usually because the tool that you’re using to copy the database doesn’t know how to handle serialized PHP data. If Duplicator just blindly replaces the old site URL with the new one without also updating the length of serialized strings, it can inadvertently corrupt menu settings.

    I would recommend either using a different site duplication tool, or just copying the ws_menu_editor database entry from one site to another without changing it.

    Alternatively, the Pro version has a settings import/export feature that could be useful in this case.
