Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

WP 3.0.1; ATA 3.5.3; Mac OS X 10.6.4; Firefox 3.6.9
The exporting and importing function has been working great for templates that I create within my WP account. I had a designer create an ATA template, export it, and email the .txt file. However, when I attempt to import her file, I get an error message stating the file does not appear to be an Atahualpa settings file. I have attached the file for your review. I am not certain what version of WP the designer is using or if that could be having any affect. Thanks for your help...

Check the versions of atahualpa you both are using. There was a change in the way the export was created in 3.5.2 (I think that was the version, check the notes)

Not sure what I should do from here. I have a client meeting on Monday and need to present the themes my designer developed. i need to get them into my WP so I can add some content before presenting. Any help would be appreciated. Not quite sure what I'm looking for in the notes or where they are...

it looks like the file is messed up. What os is being used in both computers? It looks like the end of line indicator is getting messed up and could be platform related. ie mac vrs pc or browser related - what browsers?

I am waiting to hear back from the designer on these details. Could it have gotten messed up through email?

it could be, one other way you could do it is to have the designer use phpMyAdmin and go in and do an export of the one row with the options and then you could insert it.

* Goto PhpMyAdmin
* Execute this query (in SQL tab):
SELECT option_name, option_value FROM `wp_options` WHERE option_name REGEXP '^bfa_ata4_';
* At the botton of resulted window click "Export" icon/link
* uncheck the option 'Structure' the option
* Check [x] Save as File
* Press [Go] button at the lower right corner. Save file. This will save all settings of Atahualpa theme in wp_options.sql file
* Go to your other blog, run PhpMyAdmin there
* Execute this query in SQL Tab to clear up possible pre-existing setting for the theme:
DELETE FROM `wp_options` WHERE option_name REGEXP '^bfa_ata4_';
* Click "Import" tab
* Navigate to your wp_options.sql
* Press [Go] button at the lower right corner
* Observe "Import has been successfully finished ..."
* Done - reload/view your site with new imported settings.

Well, nothing seems to be working for us. Both the designer and I are using the same FireFox browser, WP, and Atahualpa versions. We're 100% in sync. We tried e-mail. We tried FTP. I am scared to death of going into the PhPMyAdmin file. I use WP Multi-Site and therefore do not have a separate database for each blog. They are just sub-domains. I am afraid of wiping out my site entirely as I am a complete novice to PhPMyAdmin. The Import/Export function works beautifully within my WP account. Was it designed to work from one WP account to another? Any other tips would be appreciated. Otherwise, I'm starting from scratch with a screen grab. Thanks...

Is the designer also using WP multisite?

Yes, there might be an issue with importing into a multisite. I've never tried it myself
