 * I’m developing a large website that uses FWP to aggregate content from several
   sources. Mid-way through this project, we decided to start from scratch with 
   a new design. At this point, our original dev site had 5,400 posts created from
   FWP.
 * I’ve tried using an array of CSV import/export plugins to move those posts to
   our new dev site, and they import fine, however every imported post uses an internal
   permalink, whereas we setup FWP to point all links to the original, external 
   source.
 * How can I import these posts and retain the proper permalinks?

 * It turns out our feed id’s in the wp_postmeta table didn’t match between the 
   sites. Once this was fixed, we were good to go. Many thanks to the author, Charles,
   for emailing us back with this tip.
