Download Theme ZIP

Download Theme as ZIP adds a download button to the themes page letting you export any installed theme as a ZIP file. This is essential for backing up themes before updates, preserving customized themes, or transferring themes between sites. The ZIP file maintains the theme structure and is ready to upload to another WordPress installation. Particularly valuable for premium themes or child themes with custom modifications you want to preserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this include Customizer settings?

Only theme files are exported. Customizer settings are stored in the database and need separate export.

Can I backup parent and child themes together?
