Export & Import (Blocks/Pages)

Important Notes for Exporting & Importing (Blocks/Pages)

To ensure a smooth transition when moving your designs, please keep the following technical requirements in mind:

• Enabling JSON Uploads: By default, some servers or WordPress configurations may restrict JSON file uploads. You can enable this built-in capability directly in our settings: navigate to PixeBuilder > General > Security and check the Enable JSON Uploads box.

• Security Recommendation: To maintain site security, we strongly recommend disabling this setting immediately after you have finished importing your files.

• Import Failures: If JSON uploads are blocked by your server and not enabled in the PixeBuilder settings, the import process will fail.

• Image Handling: When moving designs between different websites, please note that images are not included in the export file. Only the layout content and settings will be transferred; you will need to re-upload or relink your images on the destination site.

Purpose: To save a specific section or block so it can be instantly reused across different pages of the same website without downloading any files.

Best For: Maintaining design consistency (e.g., using the same "Contact Us" section) across multiple pages on a single site.

1. Click on a page builder element
2. Go to Advanced > Export & Save Block
