Tell us what you are trying to do?

I have created a number of content and archive templates using Toolset Blocks in a local development site that I want to move to my actual live site.

When I try to copy the "code" of a archive template I end up with a "view not found error". When I try to copy the HTML representation of just the view's "WordPress Archive Loop" then the original template breaks. In fact, simply switching from Visual to HTML and back to Visual will break any "WordPress Archive Loop" block, which seems to be another big problem.

When I try to use the export/import tools I see there is no way to import templates of any flavor.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

I can't seem to find hints about how to do this.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

When I move content of traditional WordPress pages developed in Gutenberg I can copy the "code" version of the page, paste it in a text editor, replace references to the development server host with references to the live server host, then paste the code into the live page.

What is the link to your site?

My site is in development and is not available to the outside world yet.

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I wonder if you were able to use our Module Manager plugin https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/export-import/using-toolset-module-manager/
Does it work for you?

Thanks, Jamal. We had not noticed the Module Manager plugin and will give that a try!
