    Intended to export a client’s blog from one WP install to a new one today using the WP export/import plugins, however on their original WP blog, I am not seeing “Appearance” or “Plugins” in the dashboard menu from which to install the Export plugin. I’ve already installed the import plugin on the new install, but that doesn’t prove useful if I have no way to export the old one…

    Any suggestions as to how I can get the appearance/plugins items to appear? Very puzzled.

    Is the site on WordPress.COM? Are you logged in as an Admin?

    I was wondering that. I’m logged in as an admin and the site is currenlty hosted on a personalized URL, so there’s no WP in the URL… How do I find out for sure? And if it is, how in the world do I transfer it??

    Just clicked on the “thank you for creating your site with WordPress” link at the bottom of the dashboard and it took me to WordPress.org, so I’m really puzzled now. I clicked on screen options to see if there were any views unchecked, but everything is checked. Is there any place to customize the dashboard menu that I might be able to find it??

    Looks like a .ORG site – but like you don’t have full admin privileges – there should also be a Users tab – which would let you see what role you have. Can you doublecheck on that with whoever owns the site?

    Yeah, I asked our programmer about it and he gave me another login with admin privileges, so that fixed it. Thank you very much!!
