Thank you, yes, indeed you do. I saw that but for some reason interpreted it to be a different function than what I was looking for. But alas, I added the code and it’s perfect. Sorry for missing that the first time around. Cheers ??

Success! It is possible through myPHPadmin! Do you have access to that through your hosting cpanel? Here is roughly what I did:

-exported the old wp_wpcreviews table from my old WP database using custom settings to CSV with columns separated with $ and cleared the values for enclosed and escaped (do not use ” , : or ; anywhere b/c the custom field data uses those characters and it will get messed up)
-opened CSV in Notepad and added a column (by adding a “$) after the review-text column. (for some reason my old database only had 12 columns but the new one had 13 – review_response was added in there) Don’t know if that applies to you, but you can compare the structures.
-imported new data into wp_wpcreviews table in new site’s database using “CSV using Load Data” … make sure you type in the $ for columns separated and delete the other ” , ; or ;

Hope that helps you (and others) a little!

I wouldn’t think you would lose the reviews if you are just changing themes on the same wordpress install (same database). I switched databases, though, and just saw some post about doing it thru myPHPadmin on the hosting cpanel. What a pain in my arse, I am getting tons of errors. But hopefully I can figure it out soon!

I have a similar question. I need to move my reviews to a new install of WP. Export of pages/posts didn’t do it, and I don’t see reviews as an export option for custom posts. Can’t find an export or backup function in the plugin settings either. Please advise on how to make the migration. Thank you!
