# Bug: Export error & no import functionality

 * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-export-error-no-import-functionality/)
 * Since there haven’t been any answers in several months to the questions asked
   [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-copy-templates-from-twenty-twenty-two-theme-to-child-theme/),
   I’ll try my look with this thread.
 * I encounter similar problems like the other guys already mentioned in the old
   thread months ago:
 * 1) The “export” button in the site editor gives an error message (“an error occurred
   while creating the site export.”)
 * 2) Even if the export worked, there is no “import” button.
 * Thanks for your help!
    Best wishes Florian

 * Hi [@rhisflow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhisflow/) – there are more
   volunteers helping out in the Twenty Twenty-Two forum now, but we haven’t gone
   back as far as four months. I’m glad to take a look at this issue now, though!
 * So far I haven’t been able to replicate the issue with the export button; the
   export works normally on my end, and I’m able to download the modified theme .
   zip file.
 * If you can provide **detailed steps to replicate the issue**, that would be helpful.
 * As for importing your modified theme (which is just like any regular theme .zip
   file), you would do that under:
 * Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme.

 * Hi [@zoonini](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) ,
 * thanks for your detailed response.
 * I’ve just tried it again and this error no longer occurs!
 * Seems like since the latest update (6.0.1) it has been solved 🙂
 * Best wishes

 * [@rhisflow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhisflow/) – that’s great to 
   hear, thanks for retesting and confirming the error is gone. I’ll mark this thread
   as resolved!
