Hello,
Is it possible to import a content type from a Drupal 8 website to another Drupal 8 website ?
Kind regards
Valérie
Hi Valérie,
Yes it is possible through Configuration Synchronization (/admin/config/development/configuration) but you need to know exactly what you are doing.
Hello Valerie,
As @sboutas said, you can export and then import different parts of the content type one by one.
If you visit the interface, you will see something like the following image (this is an example). You need to copy the configuration and then import it using the same interface in the second website.
However, you should not only export and import the Content Type configuration, but also you should export and import:
- Field storages, for each one of the fields that do not exist in the second website (Important: this creates the storage, not the field itself. A storage can be used by different fields in different content types)
- Fields of the content type (one by one)
- Form Display of the content type
- Displays for each one of the different displays of your content
This process requires good knowledge of Drupal (what is field storage, what is a display etc) because not importing everything might break the website.
Hope that helps.

Dear Valérie,
We can’t perform such an action on the website.
This is a configuration issue not related to theme support that we do.
The website owner is responsible for such an action.
