Upload the export file WordPress gives you. Your pages, posts, menu and photos arrive as drafts, and you decide when they go live.
In WordPress, open Tools, then Export, and choose all content. Download the XML file.
Upload the file on the import screen. Before anything is written, you see what was found and how much storage the photos need.
Pick your home page and run the import. Read the report, fix what it flags, then publish everything in one click.
Pages keep their hierarchy, titles, addresses and search descriptions. Your main menu sets the order of the navigation.
Posts keep their dates and featured images. Categories and tags become blog tags, and scheduled posts keep their schedule. The blog is part of Coffee and up.
Images are fetched from your old site. If it is offline already, upload a zip of your wp-content/uploads folder and the files are matched by path.
The import adds redirects from your old permalinks, ?p= and ?page_id= links, attachment pages, categories, tags and /feed to the new addresses. A redirect to a draft returns a 404 until you publish its target. Review them on the redirects screen.
The import report lists every block it could not convert, every shortcode it removed and every image it could not find. Plugins, comments, users, forms and the design of your old theme stay behind.
Export your pages, posts, galleries and photos as a WordPress import file whenever you want, on every plan including Free. Galleries you made for clients are left out of the export.
Import and export are on every plan. The only limit is storage: if your photos do not fit your plan, you see it before the import starts.
