Q : I have built a WordPress site with the Customizr WordPress theme and am happy with it. If I switch to the premium version, do I have to start all over again?
A : Customizr and Customizr Pro share the same core code and are 100% compatible. Almost all of the customizations made to the free version will be kept if you switch to the pro version : skins, fonts, sliders, layouts, ...
Customizr free options are shared by Customizr Pro, the only exceptions for now are :
- the featured pages on front page that you’ll need to select again in the Appearance > customize > featured pages (you need to re-generate your thumbnails in order to have them properly shown as featured pages images. There is a fast and safe plugin to do that : Regenerate Thumbnails.)
- the additional CSS
- the main menu that you might re-assign to the main location in Appearance > Menus
- The widgets
WordPress, by itself, treats additional CSS and menus per theme (a menu set as Main in Customizr will not be set as Main in Twentyfifteen). The same thing happens with the widgets. That's 'cause widget area generally differ from theme to theme.
About the widgets, if you set widgets for Customizr and then switch to Customizr Pro the widgets sill appear in the right sidebars 'cause WordPress recognizes, even if their not the same theme, that the sidebars are the same.
About the additional CSS, you just need to copy the additional CSS you've added in Appearance -> Customize -> Advanced Options -> Additional CSS for the Customizr free theme (so while the Customizr free theme is active), and copy in the same location for the Customizr Pro theme (so when you switch to Customizr Pro).
