Hi,

Seem your hosting has been limited that. This caused the issues. Please contact with your hosting provider and ask them about this..

Thank you.

I pulled off most of it.  I got a 504 Gateway timeout on File A for some reason - no images came over and only some of the pages.  It's kind of a mess but I was able to get my settings over and some of the various things I set up in my other site (Penci Fanci headings, etc.).  All in all I think I'm on my way.  I'm not sure if I messed something up but if there is anything you think I should do to cure that 504 issue, please let me know.

Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it.

Hi,

If you want to do that, please do following steps:

1/ Buy the new license, install & activate it on the new site - and install & activate all plugins you do using on old site.

2/ Install this 3 plugins for both 2 sites new site & old site: Wordpress Importer  -  Customizer Export/Import  -  Widget Importer & Exporter

3/ Go to old site > Dashboard and:

- Go to Tools > Export > select "All Content" > and click export > you will get a .xml file ( File A  )

- Go to Tools > Widget Importer & Exporter > click to "Export Widgets" button > you will get a  .wie file ( File B  )

- Go to Customize > Export/Import > click to export your customize data > you will get a .dat file ( File C )

4/ Go to new site > Dashboard and:

- Go to Tools > Import > scroll down to "Wordpress" at the bottom and click "Run Importer" > select file A and import it and wait until it done.

- Go to Tools > Widget Importer & Exporter > select File B on "Import Widgets" > and click to Import Widgets

- Go to Customize > Export/Import > import File C to import your customization data from old site.

That's all.

Best Regards,

Hi,

I would like to purchase another instance of the PenNews theme for another site.  But I want to import all of the settings and everything that I've done with my current PenNews site.  I will then just change the content for the new site.

How do you recommend that I do that?

Thank you.
