How tiring can it be to copy all of your content from one website to another? With Thrive Architect, you can export and import pages and posts within minutes!
In this article, we’ll see how easy it is to export and import content from a page or page built using Thrive Architect.
Note: The Export and Import Content option work as expected only when you try to work with a regular page or post. If you want to export a page built using a Thrive Landing Page template, we recommend you follow our article on how to export and import a Thrive landing page.
Exporting Content Using Thrive Architect
Before we begin exporting content, please ensure you have created the source page or post.
Now that you have a page or post to export, open it in the Thrive Architect editor. To do this, log into your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Pages >> All Pages. Then, hover over the page you want and click on Edit with Thrive Architect.
Once the page is opened in the Thrive Architect editor, click on the Settings icon seen in the right-side panel. Then, click on Export Content.
Clicking on this option will display a popup where you can name the content file. After naming the file, click on the Download File button.
After you click on this button, you’ll see a .zip file downloaded to your computer.
Note: In some cases, this file may unzip as you download it and instead appear as a regular folder. However, the folder must be zipped to use the WordPress plugin uploader.
