    Hi there,

    I will be taking over the redesign and running of a website.

    It is currently being hosted on another server but I will be bringing it across to mine. It has a very large archive of blog posts they would like to keep.

    Is there some way that they can be brought across, saved from the old site and then uploaded onto the new site when it is ready? Is this possible?

    Thanks
    Mike

    You can move the whole installation following this guide: https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

    Or, if you just want the content, export from Tools -> Export in the Dashboard of the old site, and import via Tools -> Import -> WordPress in the Dashboard of the new site.

    Hi James,

    Thanks for that
    Maybe one of the problems is that I will be using the same domain URL,

    ….. just to recap

    1. Lets call it http://www.website.ie which is on another server at the moment

    2. I am redesigning http://www.website.ie on my own server under the same domain URL

    so URL will always be the same, so not like moving a site from one domain to another domain

    One of the problems is that it has a lot of content in the form of Blog News posts and the owners of the site, which is for a town, want to retain the old News Blog posts on the new version of the http://www.website.ie site. A lot of the text looks really crappy so it might need to be tidied up before we can add to the new site. We will do tnis over a period of time and back date the articles.

    How can we get this Blog News archive saved so we can have it as text and pics.

    thanks again
