Importing from the Lite version

Migrating from Ajax Search Lite to Ajax Search Pro

Ajax Search Lite and Ajax Search Pro are separate plugins, you can switch back to the Lite version anytime.

Disable the Lite version

After activating the Pro version, make sure to disable the Lite version to avoid any possible conflicts. The Lite and the Pro versions are completely standalone plugins.

Importing Options from the Lite version

The plugin (since version 4.15) auto-detects, if you had Ajax Search Lite installed previously, and offer a button to import the options from the Lite version to Pro version.

To import the options, simply click on the Ajax Search Pro menu, then under the Create a new search instance fieldset, click the Import from Ajax Search Lite button (don't forget to name the search form as well)

Make sure to check the search options after importing them, as some options might be different in the Lite and Pro versions.

Checking and validating the import

While the import should be seamless across latest releases, it is possible that some differences may occur as both plugins work independently.

Verify the layout by preview

The PRO version has a preview windows, where you can verify the layout, in case of any differences you can make the adjustmends under the Theme Options panel.
