If you are trying to save a site in SharePoint Server 2010 and you don’t see the option for “Save site as template” it is likely because the site has the publishing feature turned on. You have a couple of options to save a site as a template if the site uses the publishing feature.<\/p>\n

Option 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use the following syntax to save a site as a template, even if it has the publishing feature turned on:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/site\/subsite\/_layouts\/savetmpl.aspx<\/em><\/p>\n

For example, http:\/\/www.contoso.com\/training\/_layouts\/_savetmpl.aspx<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Option 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Turn the publishing feature off. Go to Site Actions \u2013> Site Settings \u2013> Modify All Site Settings \u2013> Site Administration \u2013> Site Features. Deactivate SharePoint Server Publishing.<\/p>\n

2. Save the site as a template.<\/p>\n

3. If you create a site based on this template, just make sure you turn on the publishing feature after the site is created.<\/p>\n

The option to Save site as template is available in the Site Actions section of Site Settings.<\/p>\n
