Dear Support team,
first of all thank you very much for your constant support!
I am so happy with the theme, but unfortunately now I face a little problem: When I switch my enfond site to another webspace, the “Theme Options” are reseted. Is there any way to copy them, or any way of porting the files and sql-database without loosing all configured Theme-Options?
Kind regards
doremus
Hi doremus,
When you move a wordpress installation from one location to another you must move your database over as well to retain theme options, wordpress setting and the like.
You can use a plugin like WP MIGRATE DB to export the sql file.

I did so. I exported the SQL file, changed the entries wp_siteurl and wp_home in wp_options to the new domain. everything works – just the theme options are reseted to zero.
The database works fine also and there is a connection.
The theme also uses serialized data to save the options so the string length values need to be changed accordingly. Its a pretty typical way to save theme data which is why plugins like WP MIGRATE DB exist since it takes the leg work out of doing the switch manually.
From that plugins description:
”
It even takes into account serialized data (both arrays and objects) and updates the string length values.Example: s:5:”hello” becomes s:11:”hello world”
