Export and Import pages and posts – WordPress
April 2, 2010 | Posted by Supachet Kotsrimuang | 3 CommentsWordPress is one of CMSs widely used currently since we can see that many big websites are developed by WordPress. Moreover, more and more widgets and plugins created for WordPress are launched periodically. In addition, right now, most of the websites I have developed are WordPress ones. Then, today I will you how to export and import any posts and pages made in WordPress since some developers may like to prepare their WordPress sites in their PCs or laptops before uploading to the servers so once they are done with their sites in their PCs or laptops, what they have to do is exporting the pages and posts and set up WordPress on the server. Then, they just have to import it to the system. Let see how we can do that.
In order to export
- Log in to WordPress Admin
- Under menu ‘tools’ click ‘Export’
- Then click ‘Download Export File’ and you will get the XML file.
In order to import
- Under menu ‘tools’ click ‘Import’
- Then click the menu ‘WordPress’
- After that you will be asked to upload the file so select the exported file then click ‘upload file and import’
- You may be asked to map the authors or admin with any exist users or you can create the new ones.
And that’s it. I think this way is easier than export and importing the SQL files.
