<p>Widget Importer & Exporter is useful for moving widgets from one WordPress site to another, backing up widgets and for theme developers to give users sample widgets. See the <a href="https://churchthemes.com/plugins/widget-importer-exporter/" rel="nofollow ugc">details</a> on ChurchThemes.com.</p>
<h4>Importing</h4>
<p>Importing is done by uploading an export file created by the plugin. The results of an import are shown in a nicely formatted table with an explanation of what happened with each widget area and widget.</p>
<p>Importation takes into consideration widget areas not existing in the current theme (widgets imported as <em>Inactive</em>), widgets that already exist in the same widget area (widgets not duplicated) and widgets that are not supported by the site (widgets not imported).</p>
<h4>Exporting</h4>
<p>Widget Importer & Exporter can create an export file (in JSON format with .wie extension) out of currently active widgets. This file can be imported into other sites using this plugin or used to restore widgets to the same site later.</p>
<h4>Developers</h4>
<p>The <code>wie_before_import</code> action fires after a file is uploaded but before the data is imported. <code>wie_after_import</code> fires after the data is imported. The <code>wie_import_data</code> filter can be used to filter data before it is imported. Other filters are used throughout. Make a pull request on GitHub if you need another hook.</p>

Widget Importer & Exporter

The plugin did what it described - super-easy and quick to use. It even transferred the custom "Conditional Widgets" settings that I had for a few of the widgets.

Well done, mate!

Awesome!

Goode plugin!

<p><strong>Migrate or Backup Settings</strong><br />
Finally, not only do backups or transfers of Genesis core settings but <strong>also hook in official & third-party plugins</strong> plus <strong>some child themes</strong>. Especially useful for site builders and developers to speed up their work!</p>

<p>A great helper tool for Genesis child themes plus Genesis-specific plugins with their own <strong>extra settings</strong>!</p>
<p><strong>Please note:</strong> The plugin requires the <em>Genesis Framework</em>, a paid premium product released by StudioPress/ WPEngine, Inc. <a href="https://deckerweb.de/go/genesis/" rel="nofollow ugc">(via studiopress.com)</a></p>
<h4>What the Plugin does?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Currently 31 different plugins are supported. (These being official ones plus third-party community plugins.)</li>
<li>Currently 62 different child themes with extra settings are supported. (These being all third-party child themes sold or downloadable via “StudioPress Community Marketplace” <em>or</em> elsewhere.)</li>
<li>Settings export for the first time possible for a lot of these plugins and/ or child themes!</li>
<li>Combined settings .JSON file, speeds up development especially!</li>
<li>Seperate plugin settings .JSON files could be useful for testing purposes for developers etc.</li>
<li>New plugins and child themes may be added, that support the Genesis Settings Field/ API!</li>
<li>Also, plugins and child themes that natively hook in to the Genesis Exporter themselves may be removed from support here (to avoid doubled items!).</li>
<li>Fully internationalized plugin, fully transalateable.</li>
<li>This plugin just leverages the AWESOMENESS of Genesis Framework and WordPress! Therefore it’s a really simple, lightweight, flexible plugin.</li>
</ul>
<p>See the <em>FAQ</em> here for a <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-extra-settings-transporter/#faq" rel="ugc"><strong>full list of supported plugins & child themes…</strong></a></p>
<h4>Useful for:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Users who want to backup their settings – in a combined way, or seperate for supported plugins and/ or themes.</li>
<li>Developers and/ or agencies who want to speed up their development times and just use pure Genesis awesomeness :).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Typical Workflow Example</strong><br />
<em>Transfer settings from a development install to the live/ production install.</em></p>
<p><strong>1) Prerequisites/ Requirements:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>On BOTH sites/ installations you have installed & activated for example the (great) “Curtail” child theme, plus the following plugins: Genesis Layout Extras, Genesis Responsive Slider, Genesis Simple Hooks, Genesis Simple Sidebars.</li>
<li>On BOTH sites/ installations you have installed & activated this plugin, “Genesis Extra Settings Transporter”.</li>
<li>It’s recommended to have THE VERY SAME VERSIONS installed on the original site and also the receiving site. Reason: sometimes settings differ between plugin or child theme versions. So with making sure you have the same versions installed you just ensure the correct settings are included within the export file.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>2) Transfer (Migrate):</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>On the development install: Just make an Export file via <strong>Genesis > Import/Export</strong> admin page:</li>
<li>In the “Export” section there enable all checkboxes you need.</li>
<li>Save the resulting <code>.JSON</code> file to your computer.</li>
<li>On the live/ production site, just import this <code>.JSON</code> file and you’re done! 😉</li>
</ul>
