<p>Original Purpose</p>
<p>The original purpose for this plugin was to interface a WooCommerce installation with a distribution center’s order processing.</p>
<ul>
<li>Distribution / fulfillment center had an FTP server set up </li>
<li>Distribution / fulfillment center requested an XML file of orders be uploaded to their FTP server (WooCommerce Customer/Order XML Export Suite was used for this process – http://www.woothemes.com/products/customerorder-xml-export-suite/ )</li>
<li>Distribution / fulfillment center would upload an XML file of completed orders to their FTP server. This file included 1) WooCommerce Order Number 2) Tracking number 3) Shipping Carrier Name</li>
<li>This plugin was designed to process the completed orders:</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Add tracking number and carrier information to order as meta data</li>
<li>Change order status to completed</li>
<li>Capture card information (credit card info authorized at time of order, captured when order has shipped)</li>
</ol>
<p>What You’ll Need To Customize</p>
<ul>
<li>FTP information- the plugin has a settings page for these fields – could use improved security</li>
<li>Depending on the format of the XML file you’d like to import, you may need to customize the code that handles the import. The plugin currently uses the SimpleXML class to import the XML file to an object.</li>
<li>The current credit card capture will need to be customized depending on your needs and your payment gateway (currently set up to work with Intuit’s payment gateway)</li>
</ul>
<p>Examples</p>
<ul>
<li>Example XML file included in repo as example.xml – this is the file that your distribution center would place on their FTP server</li>
</ul>

<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!
