🚀 What's New in v1.4.2

Enhanced Database Import Functionality

This release significantly improves the database import process by adding theme restoration capabilities alongside the existing URL restoration.

✨ Key Features

  • 🎨 Theme Preservation: Database imports now automatically restore the current theme configuration (both active theme and parent theme)
  • 🔄 Robust Restoration Logic: Enhanced restoration process with multiple fallback mechanisms to ensure reliability
  • 📊 Comprehensive Logging: Detailed logging throughout the restoration process for better debugging and monitoring
  • 🛡️ Cache Management: Proper WordPress cache clearing to ensure restored options take effect immediately

🔧 Technical Improvements

  • Direct Database Queries: Uses direct database operations to bypass caching issues during restoration
  • Fallback Mechanisms: Multiple fallback strategies ensure theme restoration works even if initial attempts fail
  • Enhanced Verification: Multi-attempt verification system to confirm successful restoration
  • Improved Success Messages: Updated feedback messages to include theme restoration information

🎯 Use Case

Perfect for development workflows where you need to import databases between environments (production → staging → development) while maintaining:

  • ✅ Site URLs (existing functionality)
  • ✅ Current active theme (new in v1.4.2)
  • ✅ Parent theme configuration (new in v1.4.2)

📋 How It Works

  1. Before Import: Stores current , , , and options
  2. During Import: Imports database using existing robust import methods
  3. After Import: Restores all stored options using direct database queries
  4. Verification: Confirms restoration success with detailed logging

🔄 Backward Compatibility

This release is fully backward compatible - all existing URL restoration functionality remains unchanged and enhanced.
