  Hi there,
  I am trying to export my data and I’ve read lots of WP guides that state to use the export tool but in my site sidebar I don’t have the export tool. Under the Configure menu I have:
  Sharing
  People
  Plugins
  Domain
  Settings
  How to I export my files?
  Thanks for your help in advance

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there!

  You can access your Export tool from the following link: https://http://thinklistblog.com/wp-admin/export.php

  It’s on Dashboard>Tools>Export (Tools is right under Users)

  As for the next time you need some help, you appear to have a self-hosted site powered by WordPress.ORG. The two WordPress are different and have separate forums. This is the forum for the WordPress.COM sites!

  The WordPress.org forum is the following: https://wordpress.org/support/
  If you don’t have a username at that forum, you’ll need to register before posting.

  Hope this information was helpful to you. Cheers and best wishes for your website!

  Thank you so much stefaniamattana!

  I only yesterday organised self hosting for the WordPress.org and was using .com before that so I wanted to export my posts and couldn’t work out how.

  Again, thank you so much for your help.

  Press This

  Press This Copy “Press This” bookmarklet code

  @rhysee1,

  Right below the Tool entry on the left sidebar of the Dashboard, tehre are some other options: Available Tools, Import, Export, Delete Site.

  You should click on Export to display the correct page with all the information I mentioned on my comment above.

  The page I’m referring to should be at this URL: https://shootsofrecovery.wordpress.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=export-choices

  Let me know if you manage to find it!
