  I’m simply trying to export my WordPress blog to my university’s blog. I want to keep the domain, continue to stay with wordpress, etc. The university’s instructions match WordPress’s instructions (https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/#export-your-content-to-another-blog-or-platform), but I can’t find the ‘tools’ option. I’m brand new to wordpress, although not computer & social media illiterate so I must just be missing something obvious but integral. Oh, and yes I am logged in haha!

  What type of blogging system is your university using?

  If your university’s blog a self-hosted WordPress, here is where Tools menu is: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/5/

  Here are the full instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/

  Let me know if your university’s blog is something other than a self-hosted WordPress.

  In case you haven’t got a chance to know the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org (self-hosted WordPress site), I encourage you to check it: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
