 * I exported a site to my new address. When it was imported it all looked good 
   but when I click on a menu item to bring up a post it tells me nothing is found.
   I know all my categories are there but they wont open up. Any ideas please.?

   I did a similar thing with another site recently and all went well landscape.
   johnphotographer.co.uk/landscape_)
 * I have few WP sites but the one I am having trouble with is johnphotographer.
   co.uk/peopleandplaces
    Thanks, John Walker

 * Did you also move your database? It looks like you only have 1 published post
   and its “Hello World” in the category “Uncategorised”.
 * It is telling you there is nothing found because there is indeed, nothing found.
   Are these posts showing up as published when you log in to the new site and go
   to “Posts” in the dashboard? If so, are they assigned to the proper categories?

 * Thanks,
    I eventually succeeded using Export Import again and this time the posts
   moved as well. It seems you have to wait a minute or so after each click of the
   process for all files to be collected or only part of the site is transferred.
   Thanks for you help anyway. All is well with my sites now.
