The WordPress Import Tool allows users to import website content directly from WordPress websites and other platforms. In addition to WordPress, you can import content from:

  • Blogger

  • Categories and Tags Converter

  • LiveJournal

  • Movable Type and TypePad

  • RSS

Export the Posts and Pages from the old website

Before starting the import, we need to export the data from the second website first.

  1. Login to the website from where the data (posts and pages) you want to be exported and imported to the new WordPress website

  2. Go to WordPress Dashboard β†’ Tools β†’ Export

  3. Choose All Content under the Choose what to export option

    WordPress - Export all content

  4. Click on the Download Export File button.

This will create a .xml file, which will contain all the data.

Import the Posts and Pages to the new website

  1. Log in to the new website where you want to import the exported content

  2. Go to WordPress Dashboard β†’ Tools β†’ Import

  3. Choose the WordPress option

    WordPress - Import Content

  4. Select the .xml file, which was created previously with the export

  5. Assign the new content to your current WordPress username.
