Import / Export Customizer Settings

83 Quality Score

Active Installs

21/30

Popularity is modest at 70/100: 50,000 active installs is respectable but small compared to general-purpose importers like One Click Demo Import (1 million).

Update Freshness

25/25

Maintenance is strong at 91/100, driven by a very recent update on 2025-12-01 and active versioning that keeps pace with Astra theme releases.

User Rating

14/15

User ratings are excellent at 94/100, though the 6-rating sample is small and may not reflect the wider install base.

Support Health

8/15

Support health is the weakest signal at 50/100: zero support threads opened or resolved means there is no public track record of the developer answering issues.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Compatibility is perfect at 100/100: tested with WordPress 6.9.4, requires only WordPress 4.4 and PHP 5.4, and will run on virtually any host still in use today.

What It Does

Import / Export Customizer Settings is an Astra-theme companion plugin that exports your WordPress Customizer configuration (header/footer layout, colors, typography, sidebar and blog layouts, backgrounds) to a JSON file, and imports it on another site. It lets agencies and freelancers replicate Astra visual settings across multiple installs without manually re-clicking every option in the Customizer.

Who It's For

This plugin is best for web design agencies, freelancers, and template resellers who build client sites with the Astra theme and need to push consistent design settings across multiple domains in a single step. It also suits anyone running a multi-site Astra network or a blog portfolio where uniform branding matters more than per-site uniqueness.

Who Should Skip It

If you do not use the Astra theme, this plugin will be useless, since its export targets Astra-specific Customizer keys. Site owners comfortable with a one-off Customizer setup, or those running other themes, should skip it and look at a general-purpose alternative instead.

The Bottom Line

For Astra users who repeatedly reproduce the same Customizer look across multiple client or network sites, this plugin does one narrow job well and stays current with the theme. The lack of public support history and the small install base mean you should not rely on it for complex migrations, and non-Astra users have no reason to install it. Treat it as a convenient Astra-specific utility, not a general backup tool.
