Backup and restore selected posts only

  • Hi !

    I would like to backup only a selected number of posts and restore it if needed later.

    I am doing a maintenance of my site now and looking if such feature exists or available from any plugins.

    If you know, please do let me know.

    Thanks!

  • Hi aeroman,

    To make a backup only for selected number of posts and restore it later on you can actually use WordPress own export/import tool that they have as standard without external plugins.

    Just go to Tools –> Export and then select posts. After that you can actually specify it by only exporting posts from a specific category, author or even release date.

    I recently did it by exporting a all posts that a specific author has written for a website I made for a client: https://createdby-animation.com/. After I exported the posts, it was as simple as importing it again by using the Import tool from WordPress. It works flawless and definitely something I’m gonna use again.

    Feel free to ask me if you have any questions regarding this.

    Thanks for your reply.

    This work for only certain scenarios such as all posts under certain category, all posts in a month and so on.

    In my context, i wanted to select posts from different date or category.

    So this does work in some ways but will create unwanted duplicate posts if i have to do it this way.

    If anyone here knows about plugin that can do this job then please let me know.

    Thanks!
