Hey guys I am working on a new version of my 1 click installer … I will try to make it as a plugin and add on git for everyone :wink:

Yes, share the code to us. :slight_smile:


FYI, there is author who already did it, we live in same country, spoke same language, but he seems didn’t want to teach me how to do that. I understand that’s his right.

I’ll write an article.

I was able to create in a new version of our framework (to be released yet) a installer that works with AJAX and is able to:

  • Import posts/pages/custom posts (with the default XML Import class from WP, so no news here)
  • Define the menus locations automatically
  • Import all widgets to the correct sidebars
  • Define the demo’s options in theme options panel

I don’t know if is what you guys are looking for, so let me know and I can try help :slight_smile:

Thanks @Matthew! Can’t wait to read your article! :slight_smile:

28

I’m waiting for this too :slight_smile:

For the widgets I thought of somehow using parts of the “widget settings importexport”. Create the .json file and then use parts of the code to directly import the settings from the specified file.

Ooh God this problem is in my head with 3 months. I asked about earlier this kind of situation but they adviced me Reduce the images :).

Currently i have exported all things seperated. Pages.xml Posts.xml etc.

If you guys do this and make it available on Github this is gonna be Awesome :wink:

Any news on this yet?

31

Up please.

32

I’m really interested in this topic. 1 click install helps a lot in reducing questions of setup theme. I’m waiting for your tutorials!

33

hi dnp, I think someone is preparing the article right now…

hope he/she will bring great code.

34

Wake me up.

When this plugin us up :wink:

35

Interesting topic, i’ll be waiting also.

Usually i only use widget for bottom area only, but would be great if we can set it on 1 click installer.

Btw, why article? I think it’s better if Xiao write a plugin, so we just need to install it :smiley:
