Making Copies of Atahualpa Configs

Steve_T · #1 Feb 22, 2009, 11:35 AM

I've installed a number of WP's all using Atahualpa and I wanted a way to start each one off with a base number of options pre-configured. A friend showed me how and I'll copy his notes below. This will have to do until Atahualpa has an export function. It depends on the use being able to use phpMyAdmin but it's not terrifically difficult

Quote:

1. Get into the source database with phpMyAdmin

2. Browse the wp_options table

3. Click on the SQL tab and enter the following query:

Code:

SELECT * FROM `wp_options` WHERE option_name LIKE "bfa_ata%"

4. Click on the 'Go' button to run the query

5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on 'Export'

6. Untick the 'Structure' checkbox

7. In the 'Data' section of the page choose REPLACE as the export type (drop down list)

8. Tick 'Save as File' and click 'Go'

9. Save the file somewhere sensible

10. Get into the destination database with phpMyAdmin

11. 'Import' the file you've just saved into the database of the new WP where you want to replicate your Atuahalpa skin.
