  • Hi there,

    To create an export file with all of your site’s content, follow these steps:

    1. Go to Tools → Export:
    Sidebar menu with the Tools section expanded and the Export item highlighted
    Tools → Export
    1. Download your export file by:
      • Clicking the Export All button (if you have a site without plugins installed.)
      • Selecting all content and clicking the Download Export File button (if you have a site with plugins installed.)
      • Download specific content only, like posts, pages, or feedback.
    1. Wait for the export to process (it’s safe to navigate away from the screen once the export is in progress.) Once it’s ready, click the Download button that appears, or check your email for the download link.
    2. You will receive a .zip file to save to your computer with the .xml file inside of it. This file contains your posts, pages, comments, categories, tags, and references to your site’s images.
      • Larger sites will include more than one XML file to ensure that your export process will be fast and complete successfully. When importing into another site, you’ll need to unzip the file and import each of the .xml files individually.
    3. Import your file to the new site. If you’re importing to another WordPress.com site, you can follow the steps in this guide.
