  Hello. My other site is no longer active. I’m trying to move the content from the HostGator backup folder on my desktop to my WordPress site. Can anyone help?

  If your old site is not live and you do not have a WordPress generated xml file to import, I’m afraid there is no automated way to move your old content to your new site.

  Thanks. Not sure what this backup folder contains. I thought I was backing up my content in order to transfer it later.
