Exporting and Importing

  • When exporting my content in order to import it into a new site, will it move the Users as well? I would like to move the posts and the associated “authors”.

    Thanks

  • Yes, WordPress has the mechanism to move your posts and users.

    OK…that makes sense. But just before I execute the import, I get this message:

    Import WordPress
    Assign Authors

    To make it easier for you to edit and save the imported content, you may want to reassign the author of the imported item to an existing user of this site. For example, you may want to import all the entries as admins entries.

    If a new user is created by WordPress, a new password will be randomly generated and the new user’s role will be set as subscriber. Manually changing the new user’s details will be necessary.

    Should I be concerned? I don’t want to do the import and then find out all the posts are imported under one user or something.

    Thoughts?

    Well, this is what I was afraid of. I did the import, and none of the users imported into the new WP site. They all went under the default user.

    I wish someone had replied to my post. It would have been nice to avoid this.
