# Exporting and importing the ThemeWare® configuration

In this article you will learn how to export and import the ThemeWare® configuration.

## Export and import of the theme configuration

Unfortunately, currently there is no possibility to export and import the theme configuration from Shopware via the administration. Nor are we aware of a corresponding extension so far.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** In the Shopware 6 Cloud currently is no possibility to reach the configuration via the database.
{% endhint %}

Using an export and import of the configuration values you can:

* save your configuration
* restore a saved configuration
* transfer configurations between a theme and its duplicate
* transfer theme configurations to another installation

> #### Backup for safety
>
> Manual editing of the database is suitable for experienced users who are familiar with the database. Get help if this does not apply to you.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Attention**: Make sure you create a backup of your database before you make any changes here!
{% endhint %}

***

## Manual approach (for experienced users)

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip**: For a quick access to the database we gladly use the extension [Adminer for Admin](/knowledge-base/profi-knowledge/editing-the-database-with-the-adminer.md) from Friends of Shopware.
{% endhint %}

### Exporting the theme configuration

1. Open the database (e.g. Adminer or phpMyAdmin)
2. Use the search field to find the table "**themes**" (1)
3. Open the table with "**select**" (2)
4. Edit the data set of the desired theme (e.g. "TcinnThemeWareModern") with "**edit**" (3)
5. Save the content of the column "**config\_values**" (4) in a \*.txt or \*.json file to perform a "backup" of the current configuration
6. Leave the database **without** saving changes

### Importing the Theme Configuration

1. Open the database (e.g. Adminer or phpMyAdmin)
2. Use the search field to find the table "**themes**" (1)
3. Open the table with "**select**" (2) open
4. Edit the data set of the desired theme (e.g. "TcinnThemeWareModern") with "**edit**" (3)
5. Enter your saved configuration into the field "**config\_values**" (4)
6. Save this change and exit the database

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: The change will be applied to your theme when you open the theme configuration the next time.
{% endhint %}

### Important information

* When transferring a theme configuration, make sure that the themes are compatible with each other! For example, you should avoid depositing a ThemeWare® configuration in the default "Storefront" theme, or vice versa.
* When transferring a theme configuration, make sure that the version number of the source and target theme is the same!
* If the configuration is to be transferred to another Shopware installation, then all media (background image, etc.) must be re-uploaded and reassigned.
