 * Hello,
 * Just trying to get my around maintaining this plugin. Is there a way to at least
   import/export the settings using wp-cli. The problem I usually see with wordpress
   is that data is stored both in the db and the server so I’m looking for a viable
   interface to do this.
 * Thanks!

 * Hello [@einarabelc5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/einarabelc5/)
    Importing
   or exporting the plugin’s settings can only be done via the plugin “[Import/Export](https://www.wordfence.com/help/dashboard/options/#import-export-options)”
   option at the moment.
 * Thanks.
