Could you please confirm if your saved profiles only disappear when you export a database? Have you also tried just refreshing the page and see if that also causes the saved profiles to disappear?Can you also please check your browser’s debugging console to see if there are any errors reported when this occurs? For instructions on how to do this, see [https://deliciousbrains.com/wp-migrate-db-pro/doc/debugging-browser-console-errors/](https://deliciousbrains.com/wp-migrate-db-pro/doc/debugging-browser-console-errors/). Please also try editing your wp-config.php file on your server to replace this line –`define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );`With these lines –`define('WP_DEBUG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);This will cause all runtime errors, warnings, and notices to be written to /wp-content/debug. log, which will hopefully yield some better information about what’s going on. Can you try the process again and then send on the debug.log file if created, please?More details about that at [https://wordpress.org/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/#wp_debug](https://wordpress.org/support/article/editing-wp-config-php/#wp_debug) Once we have finished troubleshooting, you should revert that config change and delete the debug.log file.We look forward to hearing back. * Thread Starter [alexf812](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexf812/) * (@alexf812) * [1 year, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-profiles/#post-18413177) * Hi, * i use this Plugin on many Pages with different configurations and different hosting. The profiles will never be saved, no matter what system. * I compared the database before and after export. Before there is an entry wpmdb_saved_profiles in the wp_options table with option_value containing all the data. After exporting the database, the entry does not exist and all other entries beginning with wpmdb are gone, except wpmdb_usage. After opening the WP-Backend the entries wpmdb_ are in the database again but they are empty * Plugin Support [Delicious Brains Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dbisupport/) * (@dbisupport) * [1 year, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-profiles/#post-18416585) * Hi [@alexf812](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexf812/), * Thanks for letting us know. Would you be able to share any errors you may have seen? If you’ve enabled debugging, please share the contents of the /wp-content/ debug.log file, if created. * Would you also be able to share the debugging information from the Help tab on the site you’re having trouble with? - Go to the Help tab of your local install. - Scroll down to the “Diagnostic Info & Error Log.” - Copy the contents and paste it here.

Just to clarify, it sounds like after running an export, the saved profiles disappear from the source site and not just from the exported file. This happens across all your installations. Is that correct? * Normally, saved profiles remain intact on the source site even after an export. However, they are not included in the exported database, which is expected. At the moment, exporting/importing saved profiles isn’t supported, but we do have an internal feature request for that. * The log messages you shared are PHP deprecation notices, and shouldn’t affect the saved profiles. * Could you please check if there are any errors in the browser’s console on the Profiles page, either before or after an export? It might help to temporarily disable other plugins and switch to a default theme to see if that makes a difference. We also recommend clearing any cache before trying another export. * Please let us know how that goes! * Thread Starter [alexf812](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexf812/) * (@alexf812) * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-profiles/#post-18457838) * Hi, * > At the moment, exporting/importing saved profiles isn’t supported * exactly this is the problem. * yes profils remain intact but only on the source. If i import in another environment the profile are gone I am the only one who uses profiles? What is an efficient way if i often have to copy databases from dev to live or back from live to dev? Every time i have to add the path and domain again. * Plugin Support [Delicious Brains Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dbisupport/) * (@dbisupport) * [1 year ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-profiles/#post-18484781) * Hi [@alexf812](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexf812/), * Thanks for confirming! Yes, that’s expected behavior. Saved profiles remain on the source site but aren’t included in the export or import process, as profile migration isn’t currently supported. * We understand how helpful it would be to migrate profiles between environments. While we do have an internal feature request open for this, we can’t guarantee if or when it might be implemented. * We know it’s not ideal, but for now, you’ll need to manually recreate and save the same profile setup on the destination site. * Please let us know if you have more questions.
