Export/Import feature doesn't seem to carry everything over

[sidianmsjones 0]

I've tried both the PlatformPro export and native Wordpress export files, but when importing, some things don't carry over. For instance, images attached to the Features posts; or the categories or text attached to the Boxes posts; or widget settings. Perhaps there is a certain order one should perform these functions? 1. Activate PP theme. 2. Import file A 3. Import file B Or do some things just not carry through? This would seem to defeat or diminish the usefulness of the export feature as it could make future site generation extremely quick.

I know for one custom post type "sets" don't transfer, but whether it's WP or PP let's get a list together of what doesn't transfer.

Yes sir! Can anyone else chime in on what doesn't transfer?

Gentlemen, This is what I was referring to in my post over at http://www.pagelines.com/forum/topic.php?id=3899 (scroll down). Let's say I have everything setup the way I want it. Then I export the settings. Then I'll reset the PP settings. Then after everything is reset, I'll import the settings I previously exported. When I do, nothing is uploaded... no images, no social media settings, none of the colors, etc. I did double check the exported .dat settings and I see all the image references and social media link references, but when it's uploaded nothing works.
