Export

Glad you find the plugin useful!

Currently there is no built-in import/export of widget areas.

While the demand for this feature is very low, it is also a complex task to export the widget areas and expect them to just work on another site.
?
For example, if you were to export a sidebar that is displayed on specific posts, those posts would have to be exported as well, as Content Aware Sidebars would otherwise have no way of knowing how to “connect” the conditions on the site where imported.

If we are only talking about the ability to export/import sidebars without conditions, I could easily implement this (it might actually be achieved by just setting can_export to true), but I don’t know how useful that would be.

I hope that answered your question, and I’m always open to suggestions!

Hi Joachim,

Thank you for your answer. I was asking because I was using WooSidebars plugin previously and the export was working perfectly fine in it. I presumed the same would apply for Content Aware Sidebars too and was surprised it’s not the case. But I understand that your plugin works differently.

I switched from WooSidebars because of your amazing feature when you keep the HTML output of widgets in the custom sidebar the same to what is declared in the theme for original (replaced) sidebar (and even allow customizing it in custom sidebar settings).

So, thank you again, and hoping you will integrate export functionality sometime in the future ??

Best regards,

Oliver
