Is there a way to export/import widgets from one wp blog to another?

  • I’m starting to think widgets aren’t such a good idea after all, now that it looks like I’ll have to manually re-enter each one to my new wp blog. Is there an easier way to do this?

  • Not that I’ve seen, if you are looking for an “easy” way. Some widgets will write out a configuration file for you (though not nearly enough of them do that).

    You can go directly to the database and “export” the settings from the widget’s table on the working blog and then “import” the settings back into the new one after you have installed and activated the widget on the new blog.

    Not a bunch of fun, but it should work. ??

    Sorry!

    Thanks, I’ll try that.

    i’ve got the same issue… in wp 2.7 there isn’t just a widget table… it appears there are certain entries in the _options table instead. anyone made a plugin?
