Design Import/Export – Styles, Templates, Template Parts and Patterns

I'm working on a theme who's slug I had to correct, which caused loss of all the template parts.

I used this plugin to export the parts from the broken theme, searched and replaced the bad slug with the new slug and then ran the import, worked absolutely perfect.

Thanks folks!

Superb tool, thanks!


This plugin fixes a huge hole in WordPress and allows you to easily copy your entire customised theme from one site to another. This is invaluable for moving from a local development site to a live site, for copying your work from one site to another, or simply for backing things up in an easily portable format.



I used this on the current latest version of WordPress (v6.4.3) and it worked with zero issues. I was copying a highly customised version of Twenty Twenty Three with some complex templates and it worked without a hitch.



I'm definitely adding this plugin to my list of default installs.

Template parts are reusable snippets of code stored in your theme directory. Normally, they are called by other template files using the get_template_part() function. This plugin creates a shortcode for calling template parts from the body of a post.
Shortcode usage is: [template part=”somepart”].
Template parts must be stored in a “parts” folder within your theme directory.
If you use custom loops in your template parts, remember to use “reset_query” at the end to return the page to normal.

Template Part Shortcode

A (very) simple WordPress plugin for embedding template parts in your content.
