'save site as template' missing SP2013

Hello!
I would like to save my webpart page as a template. The problem is that i don't see "save site as template" anywhere on this site. On another site i've created the "save site as template" is visible.
What could be the problem? I think i activated the necessary features.
Thanks.

Hi,
Open the site in SharePoint Designer, in the home page, Click on “Site Options”, you will get prompt, In the “Parameters”
Tab, you can find “SaveSiteAsTempalteEnabled”, set it to true.

I have no "Save Site as Template" in my Sharepoint site settings

Hallo!
I have Sharepoint 2007 installation. Want to make site template. All RTFM I found contains reference to "Save Site as Template" operation, which must be at site settings, at "Look and Feel".
But I cannot find it there!!! I have no such a menu in list settings, and site collection settings too.
And I have no idea how I can workaround it.
Please, help me with solution, or some advise. Maybe, there is some other, command-line method to do it...

How to Save site as template in SharePoint 2010

hello,
I am little bit confused about how I can save a site as a template in moss 2010!
In SharePoint 2007 it was simple > site actions > save site as template... and done!
but I do not find how to make that in the new SharePoint, I would be really happy if someone could tell me how to do that.
I found some tutorial:
To create a Site Template, browse to the Site you want to create from. Go to Site Actions –> Site Settings –> Save site as template (under the Site Actions heading). Give your template a name, and don't forget to check the "Include Content" box if you want to include library and list content in the template. This will create a new site template in your Solutions Gallery, which you can then use when creating new sites. You can also download directly from the Solutions Gallery to a .WSP file.
but the thing is, I do not have the "save site as template" link! I also checked if I need some special site feature activated, but I have all activated.
thank you in advance

I imagine you are trying to save a publishing site as a template, correct? If so, the save as site template link is not available for publishing sites. This was not supported in MOSS and I imagine isn't in SharePoint 2010. The reason was due to publishing sites having pages and layouts tied to content types that do not move with the template.
If you would like a work around, you can disable the publishing feature (which will then make the save as site template link visible), save the site as a template, then re-enable the publishing feature. You would have to re-enable the publishing feature on each new site built from this template, if desired.
Go to Site Actions > Site Settings > Manage site features under Site Actions. Deactive the SharePoint Server Publishing feature, then go back to the Site Settings page. You should now see the save as site template link. After you save the template, turn back on SharePoint Server Publishing.

Error when using ANY "save site as template Include Content" solution to create a NEW Site Collection

Here is the scenario. (SharePoint 2013)
In Dev/Test/Prod any Site that we Save as Template and include content and then, Download and try to use in a new Site Collection errors out upon use "List does not exist" error.
This occurs with ANY Site, even OOB Team Site template that is immediately "Saved as Template".
We can do this in any other environment (we have several test labs 1 in O365 and 1 in VM that is very OOB)
We can take the site solution from the environments we're having the issue in and use them successfully in our Lab environments (on prem or in the cloud).
We have also tried taking Site solution from lab environment (where we know it works fine) and tried to use these in Dev/Test/Prod and they also error on us.
In the Dev/Test/Prod environments that have the issue if we DO NOT include content, the template works just fine to create a new site collection with the template.
Keep in mind we're talking about environment with no 3rd party apps, no custom code, just 2013 SharePoint with all patches and CU up to June 2013, AND this is ANY template even a vanilla OOB template without anything in it.
You can always save site as template including content, download/upload it to new site collection solutions gallery and activate it without any issue... it's only if you try to use these templates to create a site that the error occurs.
Any thoughts on this?

I also experiencing the same issue. I also tried to create a new site-collection using publishing site template, resulting in "list not found" error.
Later I tried just a team-site (with content) -> the same error.
The error appears on two different (post SP1) farms. That's why I tested the site-collection creation on an old (pre SP1) farm: the error doesn't exist. Site-Collections are created properly.
My conclusion is: either SharePoint SP1 or a later CU causing the error.

Cannot save site as template (An Unknown Error Has Occurred) even with the correct permissions/settings?

Hi everyone,
We're currently experiencing some issues saving a site as an template.
This is the error we get in the event viewer:
Exception information:
Exception type: InvalidOperationException
Exception message: Error saving solution to temporary file
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSolutionExporter.ExportWebAsSolution()
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSolutionExporter.ExportWebToGallery(SPWeb web, String solutionFileName, String title, String description, ExportMode exportMode, Boolean includeContent, String workflowTemplateName, String destinationListUrl, Action`1
solutionPostProcessor, Boolean activateSolution)

at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument)
at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
I've looked everywhere for this error and all the sites point to a permission issue; I've check that already: it isn't. We've tried creating this template via PowerShell, C# command line application, SharePoint Designer and the savetmpl.aspx page at the
site itself: no result; Yes, it is a publishing site, but that didn't stop us. We've created a site template from a different site and the publishing feature was also enabled there.
Later this site really helped me into digging deeper into the logs: http://www.sharepointblogs.be/blogs/vandest/archive/2014/05/23/sharepoint-how-to-troubleshoot-issues-with-save-as-template.aspx
The annoying part is: the folder that is being created by the web application pool user when saving the site as a template is totally empty!
How can this be? Did I miss something? Could someone help me with this issue?
Thanks in advanced!
With kind regards,
M. Hekman

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you encountered the error “Error saving solution to temporary file” when you tried to save a publishing site as a template.
For your issue, please make sure you have set the SaveSiteAsTemplateEnabled property of your publishing site to true. You can refer to the PowerShell script as below:
# Get a reference to the target site
$web = Get-SPWeb http://Intranet.SWRanger.com/Publishing
# Update the property bage value and set it to the string value "true"
$web.AllProperties["SaveSiteAsTemplateEnabled"] = "true"
# Commit the property change to server
$web.Update()

Can anyone help me, how can I create subsite what I can use more times?

Hi Tailorworld
please try the power shell script because you are facing problumn with default content type feature
Run the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell as Administrator.
Run the following command to disable the default content type feature:
Disable-SPFeature –Identity ctypes –url http://SiteCollection
Then enable the content type feature:
Enable-SPFeature –Identity ctypes –url http://SiteCollection
If you look at your content types, they should now all be there. Try saving the subsite as a template again, it should succeed.

How to save site template with subsites..?

Hi,
I am trying to save site as template., and found that subsites are not part of that site template..
Can anybody tell me how can I save site as template with subsites.?...
Thanks,
Parag

As Paul said you can only save a single site at a time. I'm not sure specifically what you are trying to do, but it wouldn't be terribly difficult to write some code which provisions a site with specific subsites. I've seen this type of scenario
handled many times via both manual and automated processes. It all just depends on the requirements.John Ross

Given the the user the right to save site template

Hello,
how can i give a user the right so save a site as site template. Being in the "Site Owners" group didn#t seem to be enough to do that.
Like written in the manual: https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2420856?wa=wsignin1.0
the menu entry "Save site as template" just don't exist for all "Site Owners" users.
Thank you.

Hi Mafrei,
Thanks for posting your query, Saving a site as a template creates a Site Template.
Creating a web template in Visual Studio using the new WebTemplate feature creates a Web Template.
When the Publishing features (web or site collection scoped) are activated it is not supported to save your site as a template. If you do want to save your site as a template using the SharePoint user interface you should not activate the publishing features.
If you do need to activate the publishing features you should create web templates using Visual Studio instead of saving your site as a template through the user interface.
I hope this is helpful to you. If this works, Please mark it as Answered.

I tried various things yesterday but no luck Murugesan :(
To explain about where it starts,
1. Saved a SP site as template from a sharepoint web application
2. Uploaded the solution to another sp web application
3. Create a new site using that template
4. Made some changes in the newly created site
5. Tried to save that site as template
This is the point where I got the error.
After doing some searches yesterday evening, I deleted the template that was restored in point 2.
Today I tried to save that site as template it saved successfully :)
Only clue that is there in the log is
02/28/2013 14:21:36.90 w3wp.exe (0x2AA0)                       0x1ADC SharePoint Foundation

Unable to create a subsite based on the generic template - save site as a template

hi,
am using a save site as a template functionality to create a sub site. when i select the custom template, and click on ok button,am getting server error in appln.
in the site template i have
1) 2 document libraries with permissions broken[ stop inheritance]
2) 4 Groups created L1, L2,L3,L4
am stuck with , how to proceed/ create a subsite based on the template site
note i have uploaded the wsp file in the new site collection and activated it . ma getting the custom site template name in the tab.
would like to get clarification about the custom permissions:
if i break the permissions on the document libraries, will this sec.permissions be intact, [ not changed] as the orginal ? i mean if i broke the permissions, in the newly created subsite also, will the permissions be broken? i need this broken functionality
as per my requirement.
help is highly appreciated!

To decide save site as a template, web template or site definition

hi,
I have to create a generic site template which has few tabs in the home page and on click of these links/tabs
in this site template it will navigate to the sub sites created under that[this generic site template shud contain 3 sub sites -
[1 blog, 1 search center sub site, meeting workspace as tabs in the site template’s top navigation] and
a) 2 Doc Libs
b) 2 splists by default present in this site template [ most prob. its a team site template]
What should be the correct approach for creating this site template:
I have thought of implementing using:
a) save site as a template and upload this wsp into the solution gallery. and based on this site template
i will create new subsites. one problem i will be facing is that, mine is a publishing site template not team site template.
b) create a web template having the above subsites and doc libs and splists
c) last option is to create a site definition [ complex ]
which one should i choose, assuming that, there would be future changes from customer side in the
site template.like, adding a new splist, sp doclic or a new custom web part.
in that case, adding a new addtion to the already existing site template will not affect/reflect the already running
sites' content.
only those new sites which is created based on the updated site template would be having the new additions
implemented.
help is highly appreciated.

Hi,
From your description, the most concern you might have is that customers will have the requirements to add other components into their sites and created with them afterwards.
Since SharePoint 2010, it is recommended to take use of something like “a la carte” pattern to manage SharePoint sites. If there are needs to add sites, lists or other components,
we can make them as solution(.wsp) and deploy to our sites. By doing this, we will be more flexible and easier to manage the features and structure of sites.
So you can just create a site template with simple structure and deploy the solutions you want after sites created.
Here are two links about

Save site as a template in a root web site of my site collection

Hi,
I have to take the backup of few doclibs / splists whichresides on site collection- Root site collection. i tried to savetmpl.aspx but it fails.
http://srvr1/sites/mysitecolec
my idea is , take the back up of this rootweb and save as a template and import his wsp into a new visual studio solution and deploy it to another box /another site collection. My aim is to get all the splists /doclibs into a deployable component
is this a right approach? if yes, may i know why i am getting error ...

Hi SamolPP,
If you only want to copy the date of the root site collection to another site collection, I suggest you backup the root site collection and restore it to the destination site collection using PowerShell cmdlets.

Assign Values to Category column in custom Site template by using save a s template method

Hi All,
I am trying to develop a new custom site/web template in SharePoint 2013. In the site I have used Issue tracking list. I rename Issue status to Risk status. In the category column I gave my custom values e.g.
<CHOICE>Change Management</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Funding</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Global Communication</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Implementation</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Interdependencies</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Objectives</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Organizational Culture</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Resource Availability</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Sponsorship</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Supportability</CHOICE>
                   <CHOICE>Technical</CHOICE>
I saved the site as template and uploaded the custom template into site collection. When I created a new site based on the custom template I noticed Risk status has been renamed to default Issue status and category column has default values e.g. category
1 category 2 etc. How can I fix it ? Your help will be highly appreciated

Hi,
As the error message suggests, it is not supported to add this app into a site template. To work around this issue, it is recommended to remove this app from your
site before saving it as template.
The KB article below would provide more details about this issue:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2885566?wa=wsignin1.0
To install this app to the specific sites you want in a batch, administrators can also use the App Catalog to push apps to specific site collections, managed paths,
and site templates.
More information about this:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/fp179896.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
I would also suggest you submit a feedback to the Office Developer Platform if there any expectation about the future version of Office 365 SharePoint Online:
http://officespdev.uservoice.com/
It
is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products. What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft
Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.
