 * Hi, import and export setting seems to be not working for layout style ( customize-
   > General Options -> Layout Style).

 * Hello, the import/export work only on a clean site, if you try to import something
   on a site where you already changed some settings the changed settings will not
   work.

 * Hi, I see. If this is the case, is it possible to reset all settings first before
   importing the new settings? Or, i had checked the import json file, whether or
   not i can set the individual setting in the json file using set_theme_mod() programmatically?

 * Hi, if you can access your database, yes do a search for “oceanwp_theme_mod” 
   and delete it but export the settings before.
