 * Hi,
 * I have two wordpress sites that are the exact same. One is unsecured for clients
   and the other is unsecured for non-clients. We need to be able to create the 
   post once and import it into the second site. It is taking to long to create 
   the posts twice. When we use the import/export function we get the following 
   error Failed to import “client name”: Invalid post type.
 * This seems to be an ongoing issue here but is there perhaps a better/easier way
   to accomplish this? Is there a way to create the post once and upload it to a
   second site? Can the post be copied from the file manager to the file manager
   of the second site?
 * Can someone shed some light on the most efficient way to achieve this?
 * Thank You for your support.
 * Joe

 * Sorry, One site is unsecured and the other is secured.
