Currently if we want to export or import, they will need plugin like WP All Import/Export

[ojopaul]

Okay, I thought EXIM as a word mean something but reading it again now after your comment, seems you mean EX/IM(Export/Import). @rizaardiyanto1412

As a note here, we can't have Export/Import for whole plugin due to how author is tied to users and posts and by portraying full site export, it may confuse people as full export is not possible unless posts and users are exported as well to enable proper linking of authors to users and posts.

However, we can have export for the following features/screen:

• Author Boxes, Author Fields (WordPress already has this since it's a post type but if we don't mind feature duplicate, we can add it)
• Author Categories
• Settings
