    I have a migraton issue when using MySQL dump and import. Even after full MySQL dump and import to a new server with a different domain after performing a find and replace to all references to all domain I have an issue with page-builder data being lost or ignored. Few questions so I can understand: How is it possible? How is this data stored and where? I.E which database tables. Our site database is quite large, GBs in size, so the site export tool under appearance is not really an option and in my findings, nobody seems to be able to get this tool to work anyways as can be seen by the comments made here https://wplms.io/support/knowledge-base/wplms-site-import-and-export/ Print screen of empty page builder: https://prnt.sc/rbi2u5

    Hi, Could you please answer my question in reference to which tables the page-builder data is stored in the WordPress database.

    Okay thanks, I am going to try to reimport this table only and failing that perhaps we can discuss / work together to resolve this common bug.

    Hi, I attempted a direct database export and import of the post_meta table with no luck. Pagebuilder still appears empty after migration. Please advise. Thanks

    Please import the whole database including wp_options table . BTW which page builder are you using ? Follow this procedure to migrate the site properly : https://www.wpexplorer.com/migrating-wordpress-website/

    Hi, I have traced the issue down to the encoding format for the WPLMS PageBuilder. The problem only occurs when changing the URL of a website. The problem is caused because the URL will in most cases cause the data to be slightly longer or shorter, resulting in the "s" or size variable to be mismatched. E.g. a:2:{s:11:"layout_html";s:35137:"  The layout_html variable "s" would need to be large in our case for each and every pagebuilder entry. Thus, s:35137 would become s:35147 or larger depending on the URL change. Do you have any solutions to this problem?

    WPLMS Page builder is depcreated and will be removed in the next update of the theme. We recommend using Elementor for building pages. For older demos Elementor templates are available in WP admin - WPLMS - Demo swticher

    Whilst that's great you are switching to elementor. How do we migrate from one page-builder to the other?

    We have elementor templates for all demos which are not on elementor: https://wplms.io/support/knowledge-base/elementor-templates-for-demos/
