Export

Hi @vinnymickey,

thanks for your message and using my plugin!

At this moment there is no export functionality, yet. I can and will create this, and can start on this today. However, my time to develop is pretty limited but I hope to finish it within a week.

I’ll post here when it finishes ??

Kind regards,

TY so much, would it be as simple as export database and import to another WP site using your plugin?

I was looking around file manager via my cpanel to see if I can find where it stored something related to a CVS file but no luck.

TY been using your plugin for a growing glossary I been working on for my sites and would be nice to export and import for full setups on new sites…

Hi @vinnymickey,

if you are familiair with phpMyAdmin, it’s pretty simple. You can export the two tables wp_name_directory and wp_name_directory_name and Import them in your new website.

The prefix name of the tables (wp_) could differ though, depending on how you installed it.

There are plenty of tutorials online which can help you with export and import of tables.

I hope this helps, otherwise, I’ll be working on the export option.

Kind regards,

Interesting and i am always learning and find my way around quickly. Yes I have been in myphpadmin. Would I just export the whole directory as SQL and import it in the same are on new site? (overwrite what new setup has by default?)

Also should i rename prefix of SQL file before import?

hmmm uploaded and renamed the SQL file but they appeared as same prefix as downloaded. I also tried export as CVS and imported it and both didn’t work what am I missing?

The CVS file looks good when opened in excel but didn’t come out when I used short code on new site.

I think SQL was wrong way because the code inside the file, correct?….Should the CVS have worked?

Hi Vinny,

you can download an export from phpMyAdmin on your old site’s database. When you export the two tables I mentioned earlier, please also select “Add DROP TABLE statements”.

Please export as SQL file, not as CSV.

Then, you can import the downloaded file in the phpMyAdmin of your new site. In phpMyAdmin there is also an import option. Import the file there.

So do not use the import function of the plugin, just the phpMyadmins.

I hope this is a bit clearer. Maybe this will help: https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin-import-table

Hey @vinnymickey,

I just released version 1.8.0, that one has an Export functionality. The way I tested it, I could just import it on another site.

After you update to version 1.8.0, you should have the export functionality. Hopefully you are willing to upgrade and let me know if this works for you?

Kind regards,
