 * Hello,
 * I think this is currently the best free theme out there. I’m planning to use 
   it on all my websites. Is there a way to export and import the theme settings?
   It’s a pain customizing it again and again per site.

 * Hi [@harmonyous](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harmonyous/), you can create
   an export of the theme and its settings using the [Create Block Theme plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/create-block-theme/).
   When the plugin is active navigate to Appearance > Create Block Theme > Export
   Twenty Twenty-Three
 * You can upload the export to another site as a theme. I hope that helps

 * Hello [@thelmachido](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thelmachido/), thanks
   for that suggestion. I didn’t know that plugin exists. However, before I proceed
   doing it, I hope you can answer this dumb question of mine.
   Will the exported
   theme be treated as a child theme? If I need to update them one by one everytime
   Twenty Twenty-Three updates, won’t that be self defeating?

 * Hi [@harmonyous](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harmonyous/) the theme you
   export will have the same name as the TT3 theme so you will be asked if you want
   to replace the current TT3 theme with what you want to upload. Hence the changes
   will be carried over. 
   Theme updates will not remove the changes you have done
   to your pages or templates, however, it’s always good to keep a backup of your
   site before an update.
