# Theme Customizer Export?

 * I’ve been using the theme customizer API now for a few weeks and i think its 
   a great interface to work with as a theme developer however i cant seem to find
   a way to export settings that are saved through the theme customizer. When i 
   uninstall and reinstall my theme i have to set everything up again in the theme
   customizer.
 * My question is, is there a way to import/export theme customizer options in WordPress?
   and if not, is there a free plugin that can accomplish this?
 * Any input on this is greatly appreciated.

 * Even though this post is almost a year old, I hope this reply helps someone finding
   it on Google. I recently released a plugin for the WordPress Customizer that 
   allows you to export or import your settings. Full details here… [https://wordpress.org/plugins/customizer-export-import/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/customizer-export-import/)

 * Hi Justin,
 * Thanks for the reply. I tested your plugin and it works pretty good however i
   cant seem to get my color fields to export. My color fields are being saved with
   the “option” type and i implemented the filter code you have listed on your plugin
   page but it doesn’t seem to be working.
 * Here is my filter code:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'cei_export_option_keys', 'pm_ln_export_option_keys' );
   
       function pm_ln_export_option_keys( $keys ) {
           $keys[] = 'mainNavColor';
           $keys[] = 'mainNavBorderColor';
           return $keys;
       }
       ```
   
 * and here is a sample code i am using to create my color fields:
 *     ```
       $headerOptionColors[] = array(
       			'slug'=>'loginButtonColor',
       			'default' => '#6cb9f3',
       			'label' => __('Login / Search / Account Button Color', 'quantumtheme')
       		);
       $headerOptionColors[] = array(
       			'slug'=>'loginButtonBorderColor',
       			'default' => '#0a8bec',
       			'label' => __('Login / Search / Account Border Color', 'quantumtheme')
       		);
   
       foreach( $headerOptionColors as $color ) {
   
       			// SETTINGS
       			$wp_customize->add_setting(
       				$color['slug'], array(
       					'default' => $color['default'],
       					'type' => 'option',
       					'capability' => 'edit_theme_options'
       				)
       			);
       			// CONTROLS
       			$wp_customize->add_control(
       				new WP_Customize_Color_Control(
       					$wp_customize,
       					$color['slug'],
       					array(
       						'label' => $color['label'],
       						'section' => 'header_options',
       						'priority' => $priorityHeaderColors,
       						'settings' => $color['slug']
       					)
       				)
       			);
       ```
   
 * Any help on getting this to work would be appreciated.
 * Thanks.
