    Hi,
    We have some web stories in our WP site. We want to re-use majority of those web stories for another WP site, which has a different theme.
    Is there any way we can export the web stories from our current site and import to the new site?

    Regards,
    Amitava

  • @indiatrotter Thanks for getting in touch. At this time, there is no feature to export/import Web Stories and WXR export functionality in WordPress is limited in that it does not include all the required story data.

    All the Web Stories data is stored in a custom web-story post type, which WordPress uses the wp_posts and wp_postmeta database columns for.

    The standard XML export feature of WordPress will not export all of the data from these tables. Specifically, the post_content_filtered column used by Web Stories is missing.

    Therefore, if you want to export individual stories, make sure that this column as well as all connected entries in the wp_postmeta table are included.

    Again, the built-in export does not due this, but you could explore other tools that could be used to install everything from a plugin to a full WordPress site such as WP Migrate DB or WP-CLI.

    Note, we’ve been discussing some export possibilities in this GitHub issue as well. Feel free to subscribe to the issue for any updates. Thanks!

    @indiatrotter As we haven’t received a response, I’ll mark this as resolved. Feel free to open a new support topic if you continue to encounter issues, or reopen this topic and we’d be happy to assist. Thank you!
