OptionTree

Sponsored by ThemeForest, the largest WordPress theme marketplace on the Web, OptionTree was created to help ThemeForest customers easily migrate options between their bought themes.

With OptionTree installed, users will have access to a lot more theme tweaks in the WordPress backend via a specially crafted options panel.

This will enable them to save common settings and easily re-add them into a newer theme.

For this plugin to work, developers need to adapt to OptionTree's way of saving and using data inside the WordPress core.

For this lots of documentation is provided, and since ThemeForest has backed it up, almost all commercial themes these days support it.

Installation:

Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
