no export option in admin

On your manage tab you should have “Posts”, “Pages”, “Uploads”, “Categories”, “Imports”, and “Exports” (assuming you are talking about your online wp-admin). If Export is not showing, then it is WP’s once again mostly working fault.

If you are using the downloaded software front end, then you may need to update your wp software. You didn’t mention if you had the feature before and now it is missing, or if you never had the feature in your version of the downloaded software.

Hope that helps.

I am working in the admin panel, and it is not showing the “export” option. I would like to update to a newer version; can I do that and not worry about losing my posts?? I eventually would like to switch my blog to another server, in which case I will definitely need to have the export option available. Also, I did replace the export.php file with the newest version (wp 2.3.3) of the file. This did not resolve the situation. Thank you for your help. Any other ideas??

Im not sure that 2.2 actually had the export option. It does have an import option — I’ll have to look….

Actually, after looking at the files, I see that there is, in fact, an export.php included in the zip, so it ought to be there in your menu.

Look under the Manage tab, see if it’s there.

I did that, have you read the posts?? Thanks though. I was hoping to run into someone else who has had the same problem and found a solution. Ah, this is just frustrating.

I did that, have you read the posts??

uh, yeah, I have. I even dug out an old copy of WordPress in an an attempt to assist you.

youre welcome and best ‘a luck.

I had the same problem with the latest version, however I noticed export.php was there on the file system. I just went to https://yourblog.url/blog/wp-admin/export.php directly and that worked fine.
