Exporting theme for WP didn't export all pages

After a week of using Themler for Windows (desktop version) and learning its quirks, I've finally produced a Wordpress theme that I want to use on my live WordPress site. The theme works as intended in the desktop client using the CMS Admin preview.

When I exported the theme as a .zip and imported it into my live WP site, all I got was the home page. None of the other pages I created came along for the import. Did I miss a setting or an option for the export?

After reading the Answers, I've come to the conclusion that there may be a bug with the export with content option in the Windows desktop version of Themler. When I tried the export from Themler proper, I did not get pages and content I'd created, even thought I'd selected export with content and Themler. Hence my initial question.

However, going into the CMS Admin panel (Wordpress, in this case) and exporting the content from there, then importing it (using the Themler Tools Export/Import options) worked to bring my content in. Whew.

Recommend Support pass on the potential bug and/or update documentation to reflect this.

Hi,

Please make sure that you have imported the content separately after installing the theme on the site:
http://answers.themler.com/articles/72522/import-export-content

Let us know if that does not help.
In this case we may need an access to your site back end to check the issue.

Sincerely,
Hella

I was able to export the content separately, but it wasn't clear any where that's what I was supposed to do. The logical idea that when presented with a dialogue box that asks if I want to export my content and include Themler in my theme export is that I would get a complete package and would not have to export the content separately.
