The Manage Options panel lets you back up, transfer and reset Blocksy’s Customiser settings. It is especially useful when moving a configuration between websites or when switching between the Blocksy parent theme and a child theme.
To access these options, navigate to Customiser → General Options → Manage Options.

Export Options
Export Options creates a local backup of your current Blocksy Customiser configuration. The exported file can then be stored for safekeeping or transferred to another compatible Blocksy installation.
This is useful when moving settings from a staging or development website to production, or before making larger changes that you may want to restore later.
Import Options
Import Options lets you restore or transfer a previously exported Blocksy Customiser configuration.
Select the exported file from your computer and import it into the current installation. The settings contained in that file will then be applied to the active theme configuration.
Copy Options
Copy Options transfers Customiser settings directly between the Blocksy parent theme and an active child theme on the same website.
This is particularly useful when activating a child theme after you have already configured the main Blocksy theme.
Parent and child themes use separate Customiser configurations
WordPress stores Customiser settings separately for the parent and child theme. If you activate a Blocksy child theme and your previous settings appear to be missing, use Copy Options to transfer the existing configuration instead of recreating it manually.
Reset Options
Reset Options returns the current Blocksy Customiser configuration to its default state.
Export your settings before resetting
Resetting removes the current Customiser configuration for the active theme. If you may need those settings again, create an export first so they can be restored later.
Blocksy Companion Requirement
The Export Options, Import Options and Copy Options features require the Blocksy Companion plugin to be installed and activated.
Without Blocksy Companion, only Reset Options is available.
