Hello, is there any fast way i can export 8000 articles and attached images from one site to the new one. Both are using newspaper theme and we want to move to a new domain and shut the old one. When i use standard wordpress export and import it does not import all articles.
Hi,
You can try the Duplicator plugin, this seems to be highly recommended when migrating full WordPress websites

More general information here

The theme also has a export/import feature for theme settings

Thanks
DUPLICATOR plugin is best way; I’ve used this last year when I wanted to change the name of a site from really long URL to shorter site name; was awesome as it not only moved all the dbase stuff properly, settings, etc., but images, folders, permissions, and went in and changed the site name throughout everywhere. Really brilliant thing there.
The WP export/import doens’t work on large sites and/or oooold sites that started with WP 1.5 like ours did (!). You can try export of the MySQL dbase, then setup blank site at new location and import the old dbase to move all the content properly, then FTP image from one location to another (takes forever).
Alternately, good hosting companies that use Plesk or Cpanel have ‘site move/migrate’ scripts to move entire site from one hosting company to another — which your host could do for you.
Thank you all for your information. I couldn’t move db cause it contained a lot of trash. I managed to transfer all 8000 articles.
