  • I’m about to move a blog hosted free on WP to a new blog (different domain name) hosted by a commercial host. I’m new to WP and have found forum articles that seem to say use the export/import features in WP to “export xml file from existing blog” and then “import xml file to new blog”. Does this simply import the blog articles/comments or does it overwrite other things in the blog?

  • It only imports posts/articles/pages and comments.
    the theme and widgets remain the same.

    actually i am not so sure about this, wait for some one else to confirm.
    it’s possible f you are importing from another wordpress blog that it might import the theme too.

    No, it will not bring the theme. Import will only bring posts, pages, comments, tags, categories and users.

    Themes, plugins, widgets setup – these are all not included.
