Hi, i want to export my acf fields with setting. When i try to wordpress export or json its done but when i try to import another wordpress site all field groups and fields come but their values are blank. For example i have a text area phone number, it imported but doesnt have its valuse which is 60325 exc.

I try Wp All Export/ Import and WP All Migration plugins but it doesnt work.

I need a single xml file with all areas and their values.

Best Regards, thanks in advance

What type of fields are you trying to export. The export in ACF only exports the field groups and not the values assigned to them. If the fields are for posts then you should export the posts and not the fields. Please supply more information about what type of setting it is that you’re trying to export.

There are no ways to export/import options values that I have tested, and there is nothing built into either WP or ACF that will do it. You need to export and import WP options, this is where options page values are stored. You can try https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/import-export-options-plugin/ https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/importexport-option-data/ https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/options-page-export-content/ https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/importexport-options-page-data-plugin/

If none of those help there’s always google https://www.google.com/search?q=acf+export+options&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=acf+export+import+options

https://wordpress.org/plugins/options-importer/ plug-in solve my problem.

First i export all options to json, and then delete unnecessary lines, and then import new site. It’s ok now !

Thanks in advance.
