XF 2.1 How to transfer users using one template to another template before deleting the old template?

[TechBill]

I kind of mess up on the "dark mode" template so I am recreating a new dark mode template however there is already users using the existing dark mode template.

How do I transfer all the dark mode users from the old one to the new one after I completed creating it?

Thank you

Set the new style as the default and delete/disable the existing style.

The default style is the light version which is fine.

The dark version is available as a selection if user choose to use it.

I only have two style on it, the light and dark version.

Maybe just reset the old one, or perform an export and import.

Just recreate the dark style as a brand new style. Once you're done, export and import it, overwriting the existing dark. It'll update the style and keep any user who has it selected still.

I was just thinking about the export and import method but I need to move the existing dark template to be as a child of an another template .. can I do this via export then import back as a child of the light template?

What happen if I change the template the user have selected as their template from one parent to a different parent?

Will they still be on the same template under a different parent style?

Styles, templates is something different.
You simple can change the parent of a style. For the users the StyleID is saved, no matter what the parent is.
