Why is my site not synced with the template?
A template can be changed anytime, but sites created from it will only use the template's state as a one-time operation. This means changes made to the template after a site is created will not be reflected in that site.
For example, let's say you create a template in the morning and then use it to create a site in the evening. If you make changes to the parent site at night, those changes will not be reflected in the site that was created from the template.
Solution: For the changes to reflect on the new site, you need to sync the template from the parent first, then create a new site using that template.
Let’s get started 🚀
Go to the Templates page and select a template to sync it from the parent site.
Note: The user can sync changes Manually or automatically from the parent site to the content of your template. For more information, refer to this document.
If you have plugins, themes or even entire WordPress site hosted on a Git repository, you can link the repo to the parent site of the template, so that when a new change is pushed to the respective branch of the Git repo, it will automatically update the staging site, which in turn will be pulled by the template's sync functionality as explained above.
