How to Move My WordPress Blog Posts From One Installation to Another
Manually transferring content from one website to another can be a time-consuming process and one that is prone to errors. Fortunately, most Web servers have built-in features that allow you to import and export content via a largely automated process. If you have WordPress software installed on two websites or blogs, you can use the Importer plug-in to easily move all content from one installation to the other.
