Importing specific posts & comments from one WordPress blog to another. Not all.
-
I now have two WordPress blogs. My original is about daily life/nature/dog walks/writing and the other I’ve set up is about bi-polar stuff. I want to import only the bi-polar posts and comments from my original blog to theheadroom, therefore leaving one blog for lightness and one focused on, in a way, darkness. Basically I want to be selective about the posts I import/export. Would love to learn how to do it. Willing to pay if that is what it takes.
Blog url: http://theheadroom.wordpress.com/The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The older blog that contains the posts (you’ll spot the depressing ones) is: http://jflipwilliams.wordpress.com/

Raincoaster. Yes, that’s what I want to find out. You’ve worded my query better. Cheers!

During an export, you will be presented with a variety of ways that you can filter the output (date range, author, category, published status, etc.).

thesacredpath. Fabulous. Thanks so much. Will give it a go now. I’ll change the category of each post I want to export to a unique name, select a time frame and push the buttons. Really grateful.

Note to thesacredpath – and to raincoaster for summarising my enquiry. And to WordPress for being genius.
All required posts exported then imported within seconds. Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
Can’t thank all enough. V happy WordPress blogger :)

As a footnote to this enquiry and solution. When presented with the export screen there doesn’t seem to be any options apart from All and Posts. Click on the posts and the options appear. I think they should be present from the start.
And the text that explains the creation of the export file doesn’t say that it won’t delete what’s on the old blog. Which it doesn’t but because I’m thick and write straight into the post editor I feared I would lose what I had done.
A few thoughts that could translate into a better explanation above the export options.
But truly amazed at how it all works. And works so well. Awesome WordPress! Will now try and find something to buy to thank you programmers and hard workers :)
