Dear Christian Cox -- I have anew question, noted below ...I want to use Toolset > Export/Import to Export all the Toolset elements we created on our CURRENT to-be-replaced website and then to Import all the Toolset elements to our NEW test website, which will replace the current site when it is completed.

EXPORTING (from our current site, manhattanbride.com, with Toolset Types 2.2.1)
On the current-to-be-replaced site, at Toolset>Export/Import, there are 2 TAB CHOICES — “Types” & “Views”

-- Types Export. So I used the “Types” tab to downloaded “all custom fields, post types and taxonomies created by Types plugin.”

-- Views Export. Then I used the “Views” tab at Toolset > Export/Import to download “all the data related to Views, Content Templates and WordPress Archives, as well as the general Views settings.”

IMPORTING (to our new test site, tempname1.com/wp53, with Toolset Types 3.3.12)
On the new test site, at Toolset>Export/Import, there are 4 TAB CHOICES — “Types” … “Associations” … “Forms” … & “Access” (But there is no “Views” Tab.)

-- Types Import. Under the TYPES tab on the new test site, I was able to then import Post Types, Post Field Groups, and Taxonomies to our new site.

-- Views Import. Now that I have exported the Views — which includes “all the data related to Views, Content Templates, and WordPress Archives, as well as the general Views settings” — since there is NO VIEWS TAB option … and since none of the 4 tabs include anything in this import category that compares to what is stated in the export category …

MY QUESTION IS: How do I IMPORT the Views zip file to our new test site — since there is NO VIEWS TAB option under Toolset > Export/Import?

Dear Christian Cox --
I did more searching online and realized how to answer the question -- so the issue is resolved.

I DE-ACTIVATED Toolset Blocks and then ACTIVATED Toolset Views — and got the VIEWS TAB on the Toolset>Export/Import page, which lets me “Import Views, WordPress Archives and Content Templates”

There are 5 import choices but none of them apply -- so I did not select any of them.

After Importing ... I then De-Activated the Toolset Views Plugin and once again Activate the Toolset Blocks plugin. II checked and all the Views, WordPress archives, and Content Templates were imported.
