Export, import and reset settings
On this page
The Tools section at the bottom of Settings → AjaxPress → Advanced has three buttons: Export, Import and Reset. They need AjaxPress Pro.
What’s included
All of your AjaxPress settings: the Basic, Advanced and Animations tabs, and the Pages to never cache list on the Cache tab.
Not included:
- your license key, which is activated per site;
- your Cloudflare connection, which belongs to one site and one Cloudflare account.
Export
Click Export. Your browser downloads a file named after your AjaxPress version, such as ajaxpress-2.4.3.json.
Export before you make big changes, before a reset, or whenever your setup is how you like it. The file is small and plain text, so it’s easy to keep with your site’s other backups.
Import
- Click Import, and choose a file exported from AjaxPress.
- Confirm Yes, import. The file’s settings replace your current ones and are saved straight away.
AjaxPress only accepts files it exported itself. Any other file shows Invalid JSON File! and changes nothing.
Use this to copy one site’s setup to another, for example from staging to live, or across client sites. Both sites need AjaxPress Pro.
Importing on a new site? Afterwards, check anything that refers to that site’s own pages: Exclude Links, Media Players selectors, and Pages to never cache.
Reset to defaults
Click Reset. AjaxPress asks twice, because it can’t be undone: every setting goes back to its default, and the change is saved at once.
Resetting doesn’t touch your license, and it doesn’t disconnect Cloudflare. It does empty the Pages to never cache list, so export first if you might want your settings back.
The defaults are listed in the settings reference.
