In this video, I&#8217;m going to show you how you can\u00a0export your white label CMS settings from one website and import those\u00a0settings into another website, which is very handy. If you&#8217;ve got the White\u00a0Label CMS plug-in set up the way you like it, you can export those settings\u00a0and import them into future websites and have the whole thing set up in a\u00a0matter of seconds, really.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Export Favourite Settings<\/h2>\n<p>So to export our settings from a website, we just go into the <strong>White Label\u00a0CMS Settings<\/strong> page and click on <strong>Export Your Settings<\/strong>. Now, when you export\u00a0your settings, you will be asked what you want to do with images.\u00a0Specifically, what do you want to do with the images that were added using\u00a0the media upload button? Now the reason that the plug-in asks you this\u00a0question is because if you&#8217;ve added an image using the media upload button,\u00a0then the image path will point to this domain, the domain that we are\u00a0exporting our settings from. So in this case, it&#8217;s johnny.b, and the image\u00a0path for our log in logo for example will be\u00a0<strong>johnny.b\/wpcontent\/uploads\/2012\/08\/loginlogo.png<\/strong> for example.<\/p>\n<p>If we export these settings and import them into another website, there&#8217;s a\u00a0couple of options. We can do a straight import\/export, and the images in\u00a0the new website will be referenced from johnny b&#8217;s website, and every time\u00a0those images get shown, they&#8217;ll be coming from johnny b&#8217;s domain. Or we can\u00a0not include those images that were added using the media upload button, and\u00a0we can just tweak our settings in the new website. Or we can do a partial\u00a0export, which means the domain name will be updated when we import the\u00a0settings into the new website. In other words, if we&#8217;re importing the\u00a0settings into a website called <strong>im.port<\/strong>, then the image path in the new\u00a0website will be\u00a0<strong>im.port\/wpcontent\/uploads\/2012\/08\/loginlogo.png<\/strong>. What we\u00a0then need to make sure is that the images with the correct file names live\u00a0in the correct folder on the new domain.<\/p>\n<p>So this is why it&#8217;s useful if you&#8217;re reusing your own logos for example to\u00a0host them on your own website or stick them up in an Amazon S3 bucket and\u00a0just use absolute URLs in the branding section of the White Label CMS plug-in so that you don&#8217;t have to worry about this image discrepancy.<\/p>\n<h2>Handling Images<\/h2>\n<p>But I&#8217;m going to show you how the partial export works. I&#8217;m going to click\u00a0on Partial, and that&#8217;s going to export my settings, but it&#8217;s going to\u00a0export the domain name as a variable and then it&#8217;s going to convert that\u00a0domain name to my new client&#8217;s website when I import these settings. This\u00a0is how this works. I tick <strong>Partial<\/strong> and then I&#8217;m going to click on <strong>Export<\/strong>,\u00a0and as you can see my settings have been exported as a txt file.<\/p>\n<h2>Import Favourite Settings<\/h2>\n<p>So now let&#8217;s go to my new website which is im.port, I&#8217;m in the <strong>White Label\u00a0CMS Settings<\/strong> section here. I&#8217;m going to import my settings from another\u00a0file, that&#8217;s the backup file there, and I&#8217;m going to click on the <strong>Import<\/strong>\u00a0button. Now, you&#8217;ll see here that these images aren&#8217;t showing. These are\u00a0broken images because I haven&#8217;t uploaded the actual images into my new\u00a0client&#8217;s website yet. So if I go to the dashboard, I&#8217;ve got a broken image\u00a0here. I&#8217;ve got my dashboard heading, which is great, but I&#8217;ve got some\u00a0broken images I need to fix.<\/p>\n<p>So let me just flick over to Safari and also refresh the login page, and\u00a0you&#8217;ll see there&#8217;s no login image here. However, let me log in as an editor\u00a0that I&#8217;ve already set up and you&#8217;ll see that all of the other settings have\u00a0imported. You might just need to move your dashboard panels around. All the\u00a0other settings have imported. I&#8217;m showing the right menus. Everything has\u00a0been imported except these images.<\/p>\n<h2>Update Images<\/h2>\n<p>So all I need to do now is, because I&#8217;m exporting these settings and\u00a0importing them in the same month that I originally uploaded the images to\u00a0<strong>johnny.b<\/strong>, all I need to do in import is go to my media library and add my\u00a0images to my media library like so, and all of my images will automatically\u00a0be updated. So the domain name has been converted on the way in, and\u00a0because the month is the same, because I&#8217;ve added the images to both\u00a0websites in the same month and that&#8217;s the way I&#8217;ve got my upload permalink\u00a0structure set up, then the images work.<\/p>\n<p>If it was a different month, I&#8217;d just have to dig into the folder structure\u00a0and make sure that these images were in the right folder to appear. So the\u00a0logo appears here, the logo appears here. If I look at the dashboard, I&#8217;ve\u00a0got the logo. If I flick over to my Editor&#8217;s Dashboard, I&#8217;ve got all the\u00a0right images, and if my editor logs out I&#8217;ve now got the right image.<\/p>\n<p>So I hope you can see how very quickly, as long as you&#8217;ve got your image\u00a0path stuff sorted out, very quickly you can import and export your White\u00a0Label CMS settings, and you can literally have a new website rebranded and\u00a0simplified within about 30 seconds rather then 10 minutes. So we hope that\u00a0saves you time. Feel free to leave us any comments, and I&#8217;ll look forward\u00a0to speaking with you in the next video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video Transcription Hi, Troy Dean here from Video User Manuals, and welcome to the White Label\u00a0CMS Import\/Export video.
