Import/Export with exact IDs?

    We made a brand new version of an existing website which had hundreds of posts with Maxbuttons that we imported and they used over 100 different MaxButtons. Doesn’t look like they used the plugin in the best way because all that is in the post is the shortcode with the ID (No URL etc.) Can I export all the buttons with the exact same IDs from the old WordPress to the new so they will show up in the new website in the posts with out manually changing anything? Or is there some way to make an exact copy of the plug-in with the data to the new site? (We are not duplicating the whole old site)

    Hi,

    We are not really supporting exact copies or IDs, for this we have a feature called the ‘button name’ – to be cross-site compatible.

    I understand your question for a one-time migration. For this, you can make an exact copy of the wp_maxbuttonsv3 table from one database to the other. Make sure to first drop the table on the new site ( to reset the auto-increment counts ).

    Also gradually it would of course be best to clean up and use the shortcode options we have, so you can have less buttons – https://maxbuttons.com/button-shortcode/
