  I am trying to save my wordpress site so that I have a backup but I can’t find the ‘Tools’ menu on my ‘Dashboard’ so that I can ‘export’ my page.

  Hi atoddmann,

  You should be able to find the Export option by going to
  https://YOURSITENAME*.wordpress.com/wp-admin/export.php.

  *Just change this to match your wordpress.com url.

  Alternatively you can find this if you log in, click the “my site” tab in the upper left corner, scroll down and click on the “WP Admin” link on the sidebar then click on Tools > Export on the dashboard sidebar. Hope that helps.

  Hi Julie,

  Thank you, thank you, thank you. That did the trick brilliantly.

  Thank you again.

  Hi When I try the same thing and go to the tools page I don’t get the import/export options just this:

  Press This

  Press This is a little tool that lets you grab bits of the web and create new posts with ease.

  Use Press This to clip text, images and videos from any web page. Then edit and add more straight from Press This before you save or publish it in a post on your site.

  Install Press This

  Bookmarklet

  Drag the bookmarklet below to your bookmarks bar. Then, when you’re on a page you want to share, simply “press” it.

  Press This Copy “Press This” bookmarklet code

  Direct link (best for mobile)

  Follow the link to open Press This. Then add it to your device’s bookmarks or home screen.

  Open Press This
