How to export Page Builder pages and templates between Magento 2 websites manually
Rees Alena affirms that exporting Page Builder content is possible even with stock Magento. You need to be creative and do a sequence of manual manipulations over your Page Builder templates. In fact, the task looks relatively easy:
- First of all, you need to enter your CMS page (built with Page Builder) from the Magento 2 admin and save it as a template.
- Right after that, proceed to your previous site’s database using phpMyAdmin or whatever you use to navigate MySQL. Here, locate the pagebuilder_template table.
- Here, you will see the names of your saved templates. Export the necessary templates (ones that you want to transfer to another website) from MySQL into a CSV or SQL file.
- Now, you need to continue working on your new site’s database. Locate its pagebuilder_template table and import the CSV/SQL files from the previous step.
- In the end, you need to visit your Magento 2 admin associated with the second store. Navigate to your new CMS page and apply the newly imported template.
Depending on how your media is stored, you may need to move some images/videos around or do some re-linking. According to Rees Alena, these steps are enough to export Page Builder pages and templates between two Magento websites. Note that this approach was tested with Magento 2.4.3-p1.
