Imported posts are stored in your WordPress site just like any other default WordPress post, allowing easy import and export. If you are using a Custom Post Type, the same exact steps apply.

Importing Posts

  1. Navigate: Go to Tools > Import in your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Choose Importer: Scroll down to WordPress and click on Run Importer. Install it if prompted by following the instructions.
  3. Upload File: On the Import page, click Choose File to select your file, then click Upload File and Import.
  4. Locate Posts: Imported posts will appear under Posts in your WordPress sidebar and can now be displayed using your theme or page builder.
Run Importer

Exporting Posts

  1. Navigate: Go to Tools > Export in your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Select Posts: Choose Posts (or your Custom Post Type), then click Download Export File.
  3. Transfer: The file can now be imported into another WordPress site with Aggregator installed.
Posts

Note: The WordPress export tool lets you export content by post type. Selecting Posts will include only standard WordPress posts. Custom post types, such as Feed Items imported by Aggregator, appear as separate options. To export them, just select the relevant post type to include all items of that type in the export file.
