    Hello!

    I have a site.com with about 7000 blog posts
    I decided to make a new clear installation of wordpress with the same Theme, but some modifications
    I created that new clear blog on a domain new.site.com
    Now I need to
    1. Migrate this new clear site (new.site.com) to site.com
    2. Import all the 7000 posts (just posts with attached/featured images)

    So I understand how to do the step 1. But I got stuck with a step 2
    I tried the basic wordpress export/import tool (with a xml file). But it migrate just some of posts (about 50-60, while I have 7000)
    How to correctly migrate the posts?
    Probably there is a way to do it with a Database? Then which tables I need to export/import? And how to move the featured images?

    Thank you!

    Hi @klottner,

    Have you tried All-in-One WP Migration? (https://da.wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/)

    I’ve used it quite some times, and always works like a charm 🙂

    Good luck!

    Best regards

    Hi Aris,

    First of all thank you for your answer!

    Now I tried All-in-One WP Migration

    Probably, I am doing something wrong. But the issue is that I don’t need to migrate (copy) all the site, I need to migrate only posts (not the themes, pages etc). Because the new site differ from the previous.

    Regards!

    Hi @klottner,

    There is an options-page where you can check the “Do not export Themes” etc.
    You need to click “Advanced options” when you export a site 🙂

    I hope this helps.

    Best regards

    Hi @kuckovic,

    Sure, I did that. There are following advanced options
    Do not export spam comments
    Do not export post revisions
    Do not export media library (files)
    Do not export themes (files)
    Do not export must-use plugins (files)
    Do not export plugins (files)
    Do not export database (sql)
    Do not replace email domain (sql)
    I marked them all, except that one: Do not export database (sql)

    So it also changes theme settings (both sites have the same theme with different settings), dashboard setting and so on

    Best Regards

    Hi @klottner,

    I see now.
    Of course, you need to move only the posts – my bad.
    Hmm, then my approach would be WP All Import (http://www.wpallimport.com/)

    I’ve used this plugin to import 75,000 products in WooCommerce – so I know it can manage a huge amount of data.
