I like that theme. But in this theme there is one lack. This theme have no possibility for transfering of setting from one blog to another. I address to the founder of this theme. Make an opportunity for convenient transfering of theme settings. I spend much more time for adjusting colors, fonts and many others items as i like the theme must appeared. And this is only one reason which i don't want create new blogs with that theme.

Did you try doing a search using the word 'backup'?

I have a variation of this question: It would be helpful if there was some way to easily transfer settings/changes from the version of the theme I'm using (2.21) to the latest version. Backup doesn't help because it won't be the same version.

It's taken quite a while to "fine tune" everything in the theme and not only do I not want to start from scratch, I'm afraid I'll overlook editing I may have done to theme files.

There's not automatic way for this I'm afraid but you can upload the new theme version into another directory i.e. /atahualpa332/ vs. /atahualpa/ (or whatever the directory name of your 2.x version is) and then switch back and forth between the 2 themes while working on matching the design of the new version to the old version. Atahualpa 2 also had different theme option names so the options would be kept separate in the Wordpress database

Perhaps one could do a screen grab of the settings and print this and then work off of this in lieu of switching back and forth.

To get a list of all current settings upload the following file as i.e. "export.php" to the theme directory and call it in the browser as yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/atahualpa332/export.php (your path may be ../atahualpa/..)

PHP Code:

<?php
// Find wp-load.php so we can access the database from within our non-standard, external file here
$d = 0; // search depth;
while (!file_exists(str_repeat('../', $d) . 'wp-load.php')) if (++$d > 99) exit;
$wp_load = str_repeat('../', $d) . 'wp-load.php';
require_once($wp_load);

global $wpdb;

// get all option names and options values from the WP Options table where the option name starts with "bfa_ata_"
$atahualpa_options = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT option_name, option_value FROM $wpdb->options WHERE option_name REGEXP '^bfa_ata_'");

// output the header
$filename = 'atahualpa.options.' . str_replace("http://","",get_option('siteurl')) . "." . date('Y-m-d') . '.xml';
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
header('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=' . get_option('blog_charset'), true);

// output the file
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="' . get_bloginfo('charset') . '"?' . ">\n";

echo "<atahualpa_options>\n";
// Loop through the database query that we got earlier
foreach ($atahualpa_options as $atahualpa_option) {
        echo "<" . $atahualpa_option->option_name . ">\n";
        echo htmlspecialchars($atahualpa_option->option_value);
        echo "\n</" . $atahualpa_option->option_name . ">\n";
    }
echo"</atahualpa_options>\n";
?>

This will create a downloadable XML file with only the theme options that were actually changed.
