Import and export

2 min readUpdated October 28, 2026

Move your fonts and settings to another site in one .zip file, for example from staging to live, or to start a new client site with your usual fonts.

Both need the PHP Zip extension. If it’s missing, the section says so and the buttons are off; ask your host to enable it.

What’s in an export#

IncludedNot included
Every font’s files (self-hosted fonts)Your license key and activation
Each font’s name, fallback, on/off state, “Apply to” selectors and preloadsThe “Delete everything when the plugin is deleted” setting
Adobe Fonts entries and your Adobe project IDAdobe’s font files (they always load from Adobe)
All other settings

Export#

  1. Go to Nahnu Fonts → Settings → Import & export.
  2. Click Export fonts & settings.

A .zip file downloads with every font file and your settings.

To export only some fonts, use WP-CLI: wp nahnu-fonts export fonts.zip --fonts=inter,lora.

Import#

  1. On the other site, install and activate Nahnu Fonts.
  2. Go to Nahnu Fonts → Settings → Import & export.
  3. Under Import, choose the .zip file exported from Nahnu Fonts.
  4. Click Import.

The import:

  • adds the fonts to the site
  • replaces fonts with the same name
  • applies the settings in the file
  • rebuilds the stylesheet and clears the page cache

Fonts already on the site that aren’t in the file are kept.

After importing#

  • Activate the license on the new site in Nahnu Fonts → License, if you want updates there.
  • Check page builder switches in Settings → Where fonts appear. Settings for builders that aren’t active on the new site have no effect until they are.
  • Check Adobe Fonts. If your Adobe web project limits which domains it works on, add the new domain on fonts.adobe.com.

Only use files you trust#

Import only .zip files exported from Nahnu Fonts. Other files are refused.
