how to export and activate plugin

1. You must ‘Network Activate’ a plugin for it to automatically be activated on all sites.

• Log in to the main URL of your site.
• In the top bar of the Admin screen, click ‘My Sites->Network Admin’.
• Click on Plugins.
• Find the Plugin in the list and click ‘Network Activate’.

2. There is no built-in export for a site. Here is an article with the steps I use to migrate (copy) a site: https://wordpress.mcdspot.com/2012/08/22/migrating-a-wordpress-site-step-by-step/

Thanks! Somehow I got Subscribe2 to activate for my site. I did the network activate, but always got a screen saying subscribe2 cannot be activated on a network level, please activate it for each site. I’m not sure what I did wrong there or what I did right tonight. I’ll take a look at that article.

Ok, that article was not what I needed, but found what I was looking for. It seemed as if everything was very different in WordPress, so didn’t find tools right away. Here’s a method I use,
1. Install wordpress on the new site where you are importing.
2. If you are not using the theme that WordPress comes with on your old site, search for it on the www.ads-software.com site and download it, then install it on the new wordpress site.
3. On the old site, go to tools export, and select all, or if you don’t want to do that, export what you want. Once you’ve selected the content you want to export, download the xml file.
4. On the new site, you will need to install all your plugins again, and you’ll need one more, WordPress Importer. I would probably just download WordPress Importer for this step.
5. Once you have the plugin installed, upload your content.
Like I said, you’ll need to redo all your settings, but it works for me and this one was what I was looking for. I’m not sure why I didn’t find tools the other day. It ended up that I actually just imported the xml file that I exported from that site a while ago since I wasn’t sure if the other post that I had added a tag too was already in my wordpress.com blog.
