Sync Everything & UI Improvements: What’s New in Import Export by RockStarLab 1.2.0?

Import Export by RockStarLab 1.2.0 is focused on making everyday WordPress migration and synchronization workflows faster, cleaner, and easier to control.

This release expands Content Sync beyond posts and pages, improves how you export selected items, adds better job organization, introduces import-time search and replace, and brings new WooCommerce export and import workflows in the PRO version.

If you manage staging and production websites, move content between client sites, or regularly import and export structured WordPress data, version 1.2.0 gives you more control with fewer manual steps.

Custom Job Names

You can now set custom names for jobs.

This is a small improvement that becomes very useful when you run many imports, exports, scheduled tasks, or sync operations. Instead of trying to understand a job only by its type or date, you can give it a clear name that matches your workflow.

For example, you can name jobs like:

• Weekly product export for supplier
• Staging to production page sync
• Import updated author profiles
• Client media migration

Cleaner job names make the Jobs Log easier to scan, especially on busy websites where multiple people manage content operations.

Sync Taxonomies, Comments, Users, and Menus Between Sites

Content Sync is one of the most useful features in Import Export by RockStarLab, especially for staging-to-production workflows.

In version 1.2.0, Content Sync becomes much more powerful. You can now sync more WordPress data types between connected websites in just a few clicks.

The new sync workflows include:

• Taxonomies
• Comments
• Users
• Menus

This means you are no longer limited to syncing only posts and pages. You can move more parts of your WordPress website between environments without creating export files, downloading CSVs, or manually rebuilding data.

For example, if you prepare a site on staging, you can sync updated navigation menus, taxonomy terms, user records, or approved comments to production without copying the entire database.

New PRO Workflows: Refunds, Customers, and Reviews

Import Export by RockStarLab 1.2.0 also adds new WooCommerce-related workflows in the PRO version.

PRO users can now import and export:

• WooCommerce refunds
• WooCommerce customers
• WooCommerce reviews

These workflows are useful for store migrations, reporting, customer data review, support operations, and moving WooCommerce data between development, staging, and production websites.

As always, PRO can be activated free for the first month by new users, so you can test the advanced workflows before committing to a paid plan.

Export Selected Posts and Taxonomy Terms

Version 1.2.0 improves the selected item export workflow.

You can now export selected posts and selected taxonomy terms directly from the WordPress admin interface.

This means you do not need to manually create filters just to export a few specific items. Instead, you can select the items you need and start the export workflow from the list table.

This UI improvement is especially helpful when you need to quickly export:

• A few selected blog posts
• Specific pages for migration
• Selected custom post type entries
• A group of taxonomy terms

It is a faster and more natural workflow because it starts exactly where you are already working: inside the WordPress admin list table.

Settings for Export and Sync Buttons

Import Export by RockStarLab adds quick export and sync buttons to WordPress admin screens so you can start workflows directly from the content list.

In version 1.2.0, you now have more control over where those buttons appear.

You can show or hide export and sync buttons for any content type.

This is useful if you want to keep the admin interface clean for clients, hide workflows that are not used on a specific website, or expose only the tools that matter for a particular role or project.

Search and Replace During Import

One of the most practical additions in version 1.2.0 is search and replace during import.

You can now replace values while importing data without creating transformation functions.

For example, when moving content from staging to production, you may need to replace a staging domain with the production domain:

https://staging.example.com
https://example.com

You can also use this feature for other simple replacements, such as updating old brand names, replacing outdated paths, changing CDN URLs, or fixing repeated text in imported content.

Multiple search and replace rules can be added at the same time, so you can clean up imported data during the import process itself.

This is designed for common replacement tasks where a full transformation function would be more powerful than necessary.

What’s New in 1.2.0?

Why This Release Matters

Version 1.2.0 is not only about adding more data types. It is about reducing the number of manual steps in real WordPress workflows.

You can sync more data directly between websites, export selected items faster, keep jobs organized with custom names, control which buttons appear in the admin area, and clean up imported data with simple search and replace rules.

For agencies, developers, content managers, and WooCommerce store owners, these changes make Import Export by RockStarLab more practical for everyday website maintenance and migration tasks.
