 * I purchased the [Music Pro](http://themeforest.net/item/music-pro-music-oriented-wordpress-theme/1582368)
   wordpress theme for my music website. Features on dashboard:
 * Add new release, view all
    Add new review, view all Add new item, view store
 * What I would like to do is “Clone” the store post type to another wordpress site
   so that I can add video games for sell.
 * How can I do this?

 * You need to contact the company you purchased the theme from for support.

 * I’m refering to Appearance> Editor in the admin dashboard. Not settings specific
   to this individual theme.
 * I just want to port these settings into a different theme. Contacting them would
   not help me in my efforts as the theme I’m actually editing is found on wordpress.

 * But you’re asking to copy functionality that is specific to your theme, and for
   us to support your theme we’d have to purchase it

 * Okay, thanks for the help I thought it was just as simple as to copy specific
   files or the other theme. It is basically just a post with custom fields that
   post to a specific page.
 * Let’s think outside the box. Maybe I asked the wrong question. Is there anyway
   to copy the custom fields of a specific post type to another post type? Basically
   creating a similar post type?

 * I’ve known that ability to exist if the post type is created through a plugin;
   a custom post type plugin. Was it do you know?

 * No it was a pre-built post type. I could solve this issue if you know a way to
   add paypal custom fields to a specific post type, this way it is displayed only
   when I create a store item. I’ve used the custom types plugin to create the post
   type. Now I just need to add custom fields functionality to mimic the post type
   of my other site.

 * There are plugins for easily creating custom fields. I’ve used Advanced Custom
   Fields as an example: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/)

 * Okay, I’ll give it a go. I’ll update the status of my issue here. this way if
   anyone has the same problem they will have a definite solution.
