How to migrate entries from one Wordpress to another
It is possible that at some point you may want to copy posts from one WordPress site to another, either because you want to have the same content on another site or simply keep a backup copy of the posts.
In this guide, we will show the steps to migrate posts from one WordPress site to another from the administrator panel:
1. Export the posts from the original site: The first thing you need to do is export the posts from the original site where they are currently located. To do this, log in to the WordPress administration panel of that site and go to "Tools" > "Export". You will be presented with several export options, but in this case, select "All Posts" to export all posts from the site. Click "Download Export File" and save the resulting XML file to your computer.
2. Import the posts into the new site: Once you have exported the XML file of the posts from the original site, log in to the administration panel of the site where you want to migrate the posts. Go to "Tools" > "Import". If you do not yet have the WordPress import plugin installed, you will need to install it now. Search for the plugin "WordPress Importer" and click "Install Now" to install it.
Once installed, click "Run Importer".
3. Upload the XML file: On the WordPress import page, click "Choose File" and select the XML file you exported in step 1. Click "Upload file and import" to upload the XML file to the new site.
4. Assign author and import options: Once the XML file has been uploaded, you will be presented with a page where you must assign the author of the imported posts and choose the import options. You will also have the option to import attached images, comments, and tags. Adjust these options according to your needs and click "Submit".
5. Verify the imported posts: Once the import has been completed, verify that all posts have been imported correctly. Go to "Posts" > "All Posts" and check that all posts from the original site are now available on the new site. It is also important to verify that all images and comments have been imported correctly.
With these steps, you should be able to migrate all posts from one WordPress site to another without issues. However, keep in mind that some themes and plugins may have additional data that needs to be migrated manually. In that case, we recommend consulting the documentation of the specific theme or plugin for more information on how to migrate its data.
