This is something you should be doing every month, at least. If you’re a prolific blogger it may be an idea to export your content every week.
If anything goes wrong, it’s easier to handle an exported xml file than to be fiddling around with databases. It’s also extermely handy, wonderful in fact, if you’re moving from one domain to another
Know how to export your WP content?
1. Go to your Dashboard
2. Scroll down to Tools
3. Click on the Export link
4. Follow the instructions
Remember where you saved it!
If you haven’t done this before and you’re moving content to another site, it’s probably easier for you to save the file to your desktop so that you can find it again with no trouble.
I have a few little folders in my documents called ‘smooth-stuff-export’ etc. The xml files are dated so you can always take your last xml file for importing elsewhere. (Every now and then I remember to delete earlier export files).
Importing your WP Content
To import to another wordpress, simply go to your new home and use the IMPORT button
