How to export and import CPT and views

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

Is there a way to export custom post types?

Solution:

There is no built-in functionality for import/export.

You can consider the third-party plugin below.

Tell us what you are trying to do? I have a "reference site" that will evolve over time in terms of DB model (CPT / Custom Post Fields) and views. I would like to have several instances of this site (ex. one per region), with each having its specific content (instances of CPTs). However, each time the CPT definition (group of custom fields) or the viewes are changed, I would like to replicate those changes in the "region sites" (a bit like a deployment in a development cycle process). Is there any way to do that ?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hi there,

There is no such tool in Toolset to broadcast the CPTs and Views to the regional sites.

If you are interested in exported CPTs with the data itself you can consider checking this solution:

Just to let you know, it is a third-party tool and we can not give support for that.

Thank you.
