I've decided to change domains thus I would like to transfer everything from the old domain to the new one.
The main issue is my SEO plugin that I've worked so hard in adding SEO content to for each article posted
and
All the images I've made in every single post.
Is there any way to export everything? I just see an exporter for the articles and pretty much nothing else.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup
that will get absolutely everything
however, you will still need to replace your image url's as they are hard coded - use this plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/
then you can redirect your posts, pages, etc. to keep your SEO

Thanks for the quick response. I totally understand the database backup but what's really confusing me are the last two. The search and replace and the redirection. I read their descriptions and am still not sure how exactly they work.
basically on the S&R plugin you will be replacing instances of your old domain with the new domain url in the database
on the redirect you can simply set it to redirect all posts, pages, etc. from old domain to new
You must log in to post.
