Exporting Content

1 min read Updated

To move a single layout to another page or site, export it and import it from the Layouts dialog. See Prebuilt Layouts.

To copy one row or widget to another site, use Cross Domain Copy Paste in SiteOrigin Premium. Both sites need HTTPS.

Migrating Content Using the WordPress Importer

Page Builder works with the standard WordPress Importer. It moves your site content from one server to another.

  1. On your current site, go to ToolsExport, select All content, and click Download Export File. Your browser downloads an XML file.
  2. On your new site, install SiteOrigin Page Builder, the SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle and any other plugins your content uses.
  3. Go to ToolsImport. Under WordPress, click Install Now, then Run Importer.
  4. Click Choose File, select your XML file, and click Upload file and import.

Migrating Entire Sites Using Duplicator

To move your whole WordPress site to another server, we recommend the Duplicator plugin. Duplicator moves your theme and plugin files and your uploaded media too. We’ve tested it, and it works well with Page Builder content.

Updating URLs

Page Builder stores layouts from the Classic Editor as serialized post meta. SiteOrigin Layout blocks store their layouts in the page content. To update URLs in your database, use a tool that supports serialized data, such as Better Search Replace. It won’t damage Page Builder content.
