Import Directly to Archive

  • I am rearranging my websites by creating some niche websites from one site. In doing this, I need to redistribute content from the one site to other sites. However, I don’t want old, dated posts showing on the front page as new posts. Is there a way (plugin, or otherwise) to import posts from another site and use the old dates to archive the posts, but not show the imported posts as new posts?

    Thanks,

    Assuming you’re exporting and importing from the Dashboard’s Tools menu, the dates on the exported posts will be preserved, they will be imported into the new site with the same published dates as they had on the old site.

    I am importing through a csv file (the posts are not from wordpress) and using one of the plugins to do it. I can preserve the dates in the csv file, but they are showing up as new posts with the historic dates showing.

    Which importer plugin are you using?
