Settings Exporter & Importer
A feature that also has been asked for a few times: An exporter and importer for SEO Settings.
Particularly handy for when you host many alike websites, or if you wish to migrate to a clean environment.
Planned as a Free Extension 😄.
Note to self: Allow missing settings merge to happen automatically with defaults. More importantly: Don't forget to state that it's best to grab an export file where TSF version numbers match.
Was already in progress, but the implementation was really messy and got changed on-the-fly quite a bit. I will rewrite the extension, but it'll take some time. Lower priority than others "In progress".
bump, this would be GREAT!
Obviously will have to account for media URL (logo, etc)
Heh, good call on the media URLs. When you add an image using the media browser, an ID will also be attached; this will of course be out of sync. It might be great to also add an option to "transport used media files", too.
Progression on this extension has been halted, as it needs to be rewritten, previously unforeseen hindrances have been spotted (e.g. media transporting), and there's much more demand for content quality reviews and subject analysis.
All things considered: Every site is unique, and the default settings do suffice, whereafter you need to change a few "unique-per-site" settings; like bound social network pages.
Now I want to build something where we consider those unique settings, and that you're prompted to update and verify them.
The way I envisioned this extension would work is currently way over my time budget.
So, instead, I've written a setup guide: https://theseoframework.com/docs/seo-plugin-setup/
I'll pick this up again when I find the time.
From my comment on WordPress.org's support forums:
[...] find a pragmatic way to search and replace the variables you've used [in other SEO plugins].
The custom replacement won't be an easy task, and I'm sad to say you fell victim to a vendor lock-in; not all plugins are meant to be true plugins which you can decouple whenever you wish without repercussions.
[...] it's easier to switch from TSF to something else than vice versa.
[...] I will take this with me when creating a custom transporter plugin, which converts the data as it's migrating.

If you can make that work that work then I guess I and many others would be jumping over to your ecosystem !
