Hi mzinhom-abn,

Thanks for reaching to us.

You can create a dev site and import any template there, then with the help of the import functionality of Elementor you can export templates, more detail is here: https://elementor.com/help/template-library/

and you and export Theme Settings, Headers as well https://xtemos.com/docs-topic/theme-settings-backup/ https://xtemos.com/docs-topic/how-to-export-import-headers/

Devsite – also called a Staging platform where you can test issues, enable/disable features/plugins thus such changes will affect the main site. The below article will help you to create it:

i have already created Dev site as i describe in the ticket
about the Elementor we don’t use it our main site is depending on WPBakery , so we must use it in the Dev site

about installing the new theme layout in the Dev Website can you confirm if it’s the right steps as i under stand from you
1- import the new prebuild website (and ofcourse it will come with all demo pages, products, category, and theme setting )
2- as i understand from you (export every page manually )
and i think that’s will not working according to there is a lot of theme setting and style and internal theme pages like the checkout page for example
3- export theme setting and headers
4- import all theme in the other website and start rebuilding the pages

so till me if that steps is the right steps ? and how to deal with step 2 ? and how to do that with WPBakery

thanks

Hi mzinhom-abn,

Thanks for your patience.

For the WPBakery page builder, you can save the page as Template to export and import into new site, you can consult here https://kb.wpbakery.com/docs/faq/i-have-a-layout-that-i-created-with-wpbakery-page-builder-and-now-i-want-to-clone-it-for-use-on-the-other-page-post-how-can-i-do-that/

If you have many pages, posts and save template step takes many time so you can try to use classic WordPress export via Tools > Export. I also kindly recommend you to export one by one Post Types if you are going to use WordPress Tools and import to new site.

Regarding WoodMart’s features, such as: Theme Settings, Header Builder, etc. You can follow above documentation articles.
