wix origami import-site

Alpha: Exporting your site to code is currently in alpha. This feature is subject to change and may have bugs, issues, and limitations. We're actively improving it based on your feedback.

Imports an exported site back into Studio Two. The import replaces the site's pages, shared sections, menus, theme, and code with the exported site's versions, and deletes pages that aren't in the exported site. It doesn't ask before it makes these changes, and it doesn't publish the site. For more information, see Import back into Studio Two.

By default, the command imports the exported site in the current folder into the site that you exported from.

If the exported site has images that aren't in Wix Media yet, such as images added from a URL or from a file on your computer, the command lists them and offers to upload them to the site's Media Manager first. Images that aren't in Wix Media don't display on the imported site. To upload them separately, run wix origami upload-media.

Notes:

  • This command is part of the origami flow. To use it, add the flow to the CLI.
  • An exported site includes the Wix CLI and the origami flow, so in its root you can also run the command with npx wix origami import-site.
