How to Import and Export Custom Post Types, Terms, and Meta Fields

From this tutorial, you will learn how to import and export JetEngine's Custom Post Types, taxonomies, listings, and other structural settings with a demo sample content from one WordPress website to another.

Before you start, check the tutorial requirements:

Things to know

This tutorial covers the import and export of Custom Post Types (CPTs), taxonomies, meta boxes, relations, options pages, glossaries, queries, listing items, components, and Custom Content Types (CCTs) settings. While some sample items (e.g., one post per CPT) may be included in the Export Settings section for demonstration purposes, this is not a full content export. Actual post content and stored meta values are not included. If you want to migrate content, please use additional tools, like WP All Import or CSV Importer.

To find the needed settings, go to WordPress Dashboard > JetEngine > JetEngine and open the Skins Manager tab. 

Here, you will have access to three tabs: Import Skin, Export Skin, and Presets.

Import Skin

To import skins to the current WordPress website, unfold the Import Skin block.

To export skins from the current WordPress website, unfold the Export Skin block.

Tick the checkbox next to the types of content you want to export.

You can also activate the Sample content toggle to export the sample content of one post.

Presets

The third setting block of the Skins Manager is Presets.

Things to know

Mind that this section is legacy, as we recommend using JetFormBuilder forms. For this tab, the Forms (Legacy) and Profile Builder modules must be activated before importing.

There are two options presented:

presets section
  • User profile with editable content — configures the user profile module to allow registered users to publish and edit posts;
  • Editable user settings page for the user profile — adds a user settings subpage to the profile builder with an editable user form.

If you need more details about these presets, check out the Profile Builder Overview.

That’s it; now you know how to export and import content settings of the JetEngine plugin for WordPress.
