How to export entire site

  • Hi, I was wondering if there was a way of exporting specific posts from a site to use on another.

    Also is there a way to duplicate the site to use under another url?
    so that you have the same website running on two different urls?
    Reason i’m asking is because I want to translate my site (which i will eventually do manually) but my new url traffic is language specific and copy and pasting every single entry would just be a bit too excessive (3,000 posts)

  • You can export posts using ‘Tools; Export’. You can restrict the export to certain Authors. So, if you only wanted to export some post, change the author of those posts to a unique value before you start the export, then select only that Author.

    The export will create an xml file. You can then import the xml file to your new site using the ‘Tools; Import; WordPress’ utility.

    Good luck.

    unfortunately exporting doesn’t work..it gets stuck..I think there is a limit to what you can export. I’ve deactivated all plugins as well to see if that was the issue.

    Hope you’ve resolved your issue but, if not, I saw this topic and thought it might be of use.


    How do I Import a WordPress WXR file when it says it is too large to import?

    While the topic addresses import files that are too large, you may find that increasing the php script memory limits help on the export side?

    i’m having the same issues. how many MBs is your XML?

    I’m having the same issue. It’s stopping me at 150 posts. Ugh!

    I have the same issue, and there have been questions about this in this forum for a year or so, without a solution.

    I have upgraded to 2.9.1, and this is even worse than in previous versions (truncation occurs much earlier).
