Issue
- Liferay currently only allows export of either Private or Public pages (and not both).
-
When a site has a web content displayed on their public page with a link to a private page, or vice versa, while an administrator can successfully export a set of public or private pages, they encounter missing reference errors during the import to a new environment, for example:
Resolution
- Disable the validation of missing references so the the Public pages can be imported prior to importing the Private pages, or vice versa.
DXP 7.0
- Navigate to Control Panel > Configuration > System Settings > Web Experience and Search for Import/Export Service.
- Go to Import/Export Service and disable the option for 'Validate Layout References'.
DXP 7.1+
- Navigate to Control Panel > Configuration > System Settings > Platform > Infrastructure.
- On the left hand menu, select Export/Import.
- Uncheck the 'Validate Layout References' setting, and click Save.
