Hi,
Since I use Enfold I have one problem. The Website is developed on one Server and than deployed on another Server. For that i make a tar file of the complete Website (htdocs/website) and export with mysqldump the Website.
I copy the files, Switch the URLs in the SQL File and unpack and import the files again.Usually that works for all WordPress-based Websites, but always with Enfold the Enfold Settings and the Widget Configuration is lost. I have to copy it manually from the Development Site by manually set all the parameters again.
In Enfold is a Feature to Export Layout Builder File and reimport it on the other server. But this has no effect et all. What is the secret? Where are the options stored, when not in a file or in the database?

Hey terra3110,
Unfortunately, it would require quite some time and customization of the theme to achieve this, so I am sorry to tell you that this is not covered by our support. However, if it’s really important for you to get this done, you can always hire a freelancer to do the job for you :)
Best regards,
BasilisThat was not really the question. What is the reason, that a clone process did not work?
Copying all files from htdocs and all database should work. The Information for example what Colors are set, the path to the logo, all this information has to be stored “somewhere”, but it seems their go lost when I clone a website. And that should be not a problem to allow that.
You did not hire a freelancer only for deployment. Deployment is part of the roll-out process when you have a Staging Server and a Live Server. Sometimes that is even used only for Content Changes. Finally, at the moment it prevents to use Enfold for any kind of medium-size or large-projects because then a STaging Process is always a mandatory requirement.
Hi,
Thank you for the update.
I have to copy it manually from the Development Site by manually set all the parameters again.
We usually recommend the plugin WP Migrate DB for this kind of scenario. It is commonly use to properly transfer an installation from development to production or vice versa. However, if you want to do it manually, you can always go to the Enfold > Import/Export panel and manually export the theme options from the development site and go to the same panel in the production site or actual deployment, then import the settings back.

This is the plugin in case you want to try it.
