Export Footnotes config ?

@weblwp

Thanks for your feedback. One way to do this is to copy-paste the database tables (there are four of them IIRC) found in wp_options from one instance to the other one.

Please let us know if you are okay with this workaround by lack of the proper feature that was projected but did not come to light.

I understand that the preferred process involves downloading and uploading the configuration as a file in JSON (or XML) format, but for the time being, the DB way definitely works. Please follow these steps:

1. In your hosting account, go to cPanel ? Databases ? phpMyAdmin.
2. In the navigation pane, look for the DB whose wpxx_options table starts (option_id = 1) with a site URL matching the site with the Footnotes configuration to be exported.
3. In this wpxx_options table, look for Footnotes’ up to 4?rows by filtering on ‘footnotes’ or by scrolling after sorting by option_name (ascending). The option names are footnotes_storage, footnotes_storage_custom, footnotes_storage_custom_css and footnotes_storage_expert. Each one shows up after its tab has been saved at least once. Make sure that this has been done on the destination site as well.
4. In footnotes_storage, click Copy, click in the frame and Ctrl?+?C.
5. In a new browser tab, access the equivalent row of the site whose configuration should be synced, click Edit, select all and paste the data.
6. At the bottom, make sure it says ‘Save and then Go back to previous page’, and click ‘Go’.
7. Repeat steps 4–6 for footnotes_storage_custom for the tooltip styling options, other things referrer-related and the backlink symbol, and eventually for footnotes_storage_expert for the priority level settings, and the 4th for the Custom?CSS.

When looking at the settings in the new Footnotes instance, you will see it in synch.

Be sure to stay in touch should you require any further assistance.

OK thanks. I will do this and will comment here further if any issue.
