    Hi, i am trying to import the same demo twice for the purpose of testing how the importer deals with same post id. It seems to be the importer skip post which have a same id as the existing post in the website. Is there any way to override this behavior? It is possible that the export data might container the same post id as the imported website. In this case, the demo post will be skipped.

    Thanks.

    Further testing revealed that not the post id (<wp:post_id>) in .xml causing the problem. Instead, is the guid prevent the same demo to be imported twice. Is it safe to remove guid field in .xml?

    Guid eg :

    <guid isPermaLink=”false”>https://example.com/?page_id=19</guid&gt;

    Hi,

    you can test it out, I’ve never done that before, so I don’t know, what the result would be.

    I also don’t understand, why you would like to import the same demo data twice?

    Take care!
