In some cases, if you will be importing\nyour content into a new site using WordPress.org, your new hosting provider may\nhave a file size limit on uploads. If your export file is too big, you can\ndownload a set of partial archives by using the following filters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Content published within a time frame \u2013 set a <strong>Start Date<\/strong> and\/or an<strong> End Date<\/strong><\/li><li>Content authored by specific users. Use the <strong>Authors<\/strong> drop-down menu.<\/li><li>Posts belonging to a specific <strong>Category<\/strong> or <strong>Tag<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Only posts or only pages, using the <strong>Content Types filter.<\/strong><\/li><li>Specific posts <strong>Statuses<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This\nprocess will generate an XML file of your blog\u2019s content.

So, do not delete your blog\nuntil after media files have successfully been imported into the new blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\nare planning to export your content to another blog platform, it\u2019s best to\nmanually download and save your images from your WordPress.com Media Library to\nbefore trying to import\/upload them into the new blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information on exporting your WordPress site, please go to this WordPress.org support article <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/article\/tools-export-screen\/\">https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/article\/tools-export-screen\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Importing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\nhave exported your posts, pages, etc., you will import them into your new\nWordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Login to your new WordPress.com or self-hosted WordPress site and go to the Dashboard. &nbsp;From there navigate to <strong>Tools&gt;Import<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"664\" src=\"http:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-2.49.09-PM-1024x664.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"224\" data-link=\"http:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/?attachment_id=224\" class=\"wp-image-224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-2.49.09-PM-1024x664.png 1024w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-2.49.09-PM-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-27-at-2.49.09-PM-768x498.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose\nthe WordPress option at the bottom of the list of the services. &nbsp;Next, you\nwill see a screen that prompts you to upload the WXR file you generated through\nthe export process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose\nand upload your file. &nbsp;You will then be prompted to assign an author to\nthe posts that you are importing. &nbsp;You can use this function to assign one\nauthor to all posts, or you can manually set the author for each post in the\nposts menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information on importing your self-hosted WordPress site to WordPress.com, please go to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.support.wordpress.com\/import\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/en.support.wordpress.com\/import\/<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information on importing your self-hosted WordPress site to a new self-hosted WordPress site, please go to <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/article\/tools-import-screen\/\">https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/article\/tools-import-screen\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-very-light-gray-background-color wp-block-paragraph\">This content is adapted from the <a href=\"http:\/\/create.ou.edu\/docs\/\">Create Documentation<\/a> by The University of Oklahoma\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.edu\/cte\">Center for Teaching Excellence<\/a> which is licensed under a <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\/\">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post provides instructions on how to move a self-hosted WordPress site on Coventry.Domains to a WordPress site hosted elsewhere.
