Import & export

Modern Fields has a built-in support to export field groups, custom post types and taxonomies.

Export items in JSON

Start by clicking on Modern Fields > Import / Export.

Select the items you want to export between:

• Field groups
• Custom Post Types
• Taxonomies

Then, just click on Export. a JSON file will be downloaded, containing all exporter items.

Import from JSON

Start by clicking on Modern Fields > Import / Export.

Click on Choose a file… and select a file from your computer.

Then click on Import.

If conflicts are detected, you’ll be asked to choose:

• Either to skip older items
• Either override current items

Conflicts may occur when a field group has been modified on your site more recently than its JSON counterpart.

Synchronise JSON with theme

If you are a theme developer, you can sync JSON with the theme. take a look at this post: how to sync your groups with your theme.

Import & Export via WP CLI

Modern Fields also provides WP CLI commands for developers to import and export groups directly from the terminal.
