WordPress Taxonomy Term meta not working with export and import

Question

I have created a Taxonomy Meta Data for Custom Post Type and its working fine while saving, updating, editing etc. But its not working while importing or exporting with wordpress importer. Taxonomies meta data are not importing.

Here is the Code based on the Tutorial

<?php
if ( ! function_exists( 'register_cpt_houses' ) ) {
    function register_cpt_houses() {
        $labels = array(
            'name'              => __('houses', 'my_plugin'),
            'singular_name'     => __('houses', 'my_plugin'),
            'add_new'           => __('Add New','my_plugin'),

            'parent_item_colon' => '' ,
            'all_items' =>  __( 'All houses' ,'my_plugin')
        );

        $args = array(
            'labels'            => $labels,

What am I doing wrong?

If you need to export the data in termmeta table then try this plugin to export the termmeta data in separate XML file.

Export custom post type will only get you connection between the taxonomy ID and Post exported. To get the Meta data of that taxonomy try this plugin It will provide you a XML containing all additional entries of that Taxonomy you can import that too

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-export-categories-taxonomies/

You will find this in Tools -> Wp Export Cats & Taxs

Select the Taxonomy in custom post types you want to export ..
