Is it possible to move a couple of posts and comments from one WP domain to another

[seocuppa]

Hi,

We want to move a couple of dozen articles from one of our self-hosted wordpress website to another self-hosted Wordpress website. Is there a way to this such that the following content is also included in the migration:
1. Post content (including images and meta if possible)
2. Comments

Do note the older site from which we want to move out the content has more than 2000 posts and we just want to move 60-70 posts.

Thanks.

Hi Shalin

Check out this resource from wpbeginner called How to Properly Move Your Blog from WordPress.com to WordPress.org - quite a bit of information but this should answer your question!

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi,

It is possible to use plugins like https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-importer/

You would backup the required content from the 2000+ site,
Upload it to the new one,
Remove all but the ones you wanted to keep (Depending on the plugins is depending on how isolated you can make the backup) 
Remove the 60+ post from your original site

Plugins like this do indeed preserve meta, images and comments etc, 
Attached is a screenshot showing how you can limit the export so you can hopefully target your content enough that you will be able to export exactly what you need and no more.

Kind Regards

Jimmy

I literally did this, we had 1500 domains and I had to condense them all down into one two things to note:

• If you are moving Wordpress content into a clean Wordpress install make sure you copy the MySQL database to the new site and change the wp-config file so that it reflects the database that you want to use.
• If you are moving Wordpress content into an existing Wordpress install it might be easier to just manually edit them. I found that pulling text and importing them into something like TextWrangler allowed me to make sure all the formatting was correct, although the WYSIWYG is good, its not perfect. From there I just uploaded all of my pictures, pasted the new formatted text into the Wordpress text editor and added the photo!

Let me know if you have any questions!
