Make a Template with Default Settings for Plugins

  • Hello,
    Every time I create a page or a post I have to manually go through and adjust the settings for 2-3 plug-ins which I use. Is there a way to create a template for post or pages which will automatically have the correct settings for the plugins selected? The plugins individually do not offer a way to do this.

    This may seam like a minor inconvenience, but it prevents me from using the mobile Android app to create posts and pages. Also some of the plug-ins are security related and it would be great not to have to remember to check all the correct settings each time I post.

    I’ve search the support forums but could find anything related to this, but perhaps I didn’t known the correct terms to use.

    Thanks for the help!

  • What are the plugins? All plugins are built differently.
    You would what to look for something in plugin settings that says “export settings”

    You might get direct answers contacting plugin authors.

    If you know how to migrate a site:
    If you so the same thing for each install you could create a default “template” site that you clone when you do a new install. Have it set up with all the plugins and settings you use.

    Kim,
    Thanks for the quick reply. The plugins are Ultimate Member and Custom Sidebars. Based on responses to similar requests on their respective plugin specific support pages, it is not possible to change the default settings. This is why I was asking if there was a general solution to this problem.

    Sorry, I don’t think what you are asking is possible if the plugin is not written that way. That’s why I suggest making a site that you use as a template for all others.
    I do this myself using Backup Buddy.
