  • HI there,

    What do you mean you can’t export? Does it show you an error message when you try? Your site’s logs on our end show the exports have been successful.

    Don’t try exporting your site month by month. Please try exporting the entire site all at once. If you do that you’ll get a link via email to download a .zip folder containing the full export for your site. Then you can import the files in that folder to your new site.

    HI!
    I finally was able to export it all, but had to do the last months, month by month, and still i had to review post by post because some of the images did not transfer. But its done now, so i wont worry.
    What i am still struggling is to find how to group my categories again, before i had categorized all my posts by country and then when i would click in for example “New Zealand” then all my posts under that category would be there. Im still trying to find how to do this with this new page.
    thanks,
    Andrea

  • Did you import your posts to the site, https://mowglitravels.com/? If you used the WordPress importer on that site your categories should still be connected to your posts, as we use the same taxonomy system as WordPress.org as far as I know.

    If the categories did not import correctly, you can assign new categories the same way you’d do it here – by editing the posts and adding the category in the post editor. If you go to your site’s WP-Admin dashboard and click on Posts ->All Posts, you can also bulk-edit posts to add multiple posts to a category at once.

    For more help with the self-hosted version of WordPress you can post in the WordPress.org forums here:
