# Old data import

 * This site was very out of date so I updated the WP core and the theme Avada from
   6.1 to 7.5. This produced the white screen. I placed plugins into a ‘hide’ folder
   and found WordPress-SEO to be the offender even though it had been updated to
   the latest version. I have now installed a fresh copy of the plugin.
 * My question: is there a way to import the data from the old plugin, still in 
   the hide folder and intact into the fresh copy.
 * Another option is to go back to Blogvault, create a staging site, export the 
   data from the functioning (at that time) plugin and then import into the new 
   one.
 * Has anyone had experience similar?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fold-data-import%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * We only have the following import & export options as mentioned in this article–

 * If you want to transfer all of the data such as the focus keyphrases and meta
   descdriptions, you’ll need to transfer the database to the new site if you’d 
   like all of your Yoast data to appear on the new site.
