Migrate Your Website Content

To transfer your website content from the staging site to the live site, you can use one of the following methods:​

Option A: Use Hosting or Third-Party Migration Tools

Many hosting providers offer migration tools. Alternatively, you can use third-party plugins to automate the migration process.​

Option B: Manual Migration

If you prefer to migrate manually, follow these steps:​

  1. Export Site Content:

    • In your staging site’s WordPress admin panel, go to: Tools → Export → All Content.

    • Download the .xml file generated.​

  2. Import Site Content:

    • In your live site’s WordPress admin panel, navigate to: ​pixfort → Demo Import → Manual Import.

    • Upload the .xml file you previously downloaded.​

  3. Transfer Theme Options:

    • On your staging site, go to:​Theme Options → Import/Export → Download Data File.
    • On your live site, navigate to the same location and upload the data file to import your theme settings.​

  4. Transfer Widgets:

    • Use a plugin like Widget Importer & Exporter to export widgets from your staging site and import them into your live site.​

Note

Ensure you do not delete any content from your staging site before completing the migration. The import process requires access to media files (e.g., images) from the original site.​

3

Disconnect Your Staging Site

After confirming that all content has been successfully migrated to your live site, you can disconnect your staging site from the Theme Dashboard > Manage > Disconnect Site.

Theme Dashboard > Manage > Disconnect Site
