    I am not too sure what wp-importing does. But technically you should not worry about migrating WP-PostViews if you did it properly since it is part of the postmeta table.

    Hi,

    Thanks for responding.

    Sorry, I meant WordPress Importer not wp-importing (whatever that is).

    I am moving my blog from and to the following domains: wembleycity.blogontheblock.co.uk

    to

    wembley.blogontheblock.com

    As you can see, if you click on a post of the former blog and click on a post on the current the post views have not migrated. The new blog, the post views stick at 1 view.

    How did I import the meta? I simply used Tools> export all content from the old blog and then imported the XML file to the new WordPress install.

    I should also note, that the old blog was a single site and the new blog is multisite.

    Is there anything else I can do to migrate across the views?

    Many thanks

    Sorry man, I have not moved from a Single Site to a Multi Site before, you probably want to ask this question in a more general forum since this is not exactly plugin related.

    The other way you can run is to delete all views meta more than 1.

    DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key='views' AND meta_value = 1;

    Hey there,

    I should have mentioned I’m moving server, hence the exporting.

    OK thanks for the fix on the 1 issue, I’ll keep that as option b.

    Cheers.
