You can go to Forms -&gt; Export -&gt; Export Forms to get an XML download of your forms to import anywhere you want. I personally keep a repository of forms that I'll need for various sites I run. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/lost-forms-when-site-moved-to-other-domain#post-68513 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 06:28:30 +0000 ivagroep 68513@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Our website has around 25 forms. Before we do major updates to our site (wordpress and plugins updates) we backup the whole site and copy it to a testing domain.<br /> But the last time we copied the site a whole bunch of the forms where lost. The forms are still listed in the backend but they're empty and in the frontend it says that the from was not found.</p> <p>We copy the site as followed:<br /> Copy the whole public_html folder<br /> Export mysql and 'find and replace' the old domain name into new.<br /> Than import in new database on test domain.</p> <p>This worked the first couple of times.<br /> But now it doesn't anymore.</p> <p>We are affraid that if we build a new site for a client of us from a testing domain we lose the forms and have to work from scratch again. </p> <p>Hope you can help us.</p> <p>With regards,</p> <p>Yance Bazar<br /> IVA GROEP </p>
