Update:
I exported the website to an xml file and used the wordpress tool to import it to new web server with partial success. Although it did import the structure, I did have to acquire the theme the previous developer used, which wasn’t difficult, however, the problem is that it does not look the same, so I am a little disappointed by that. There are some issues I still need to resolve. I thought it would just be good to go after importing the xml file and although it did save me a good deal of time setting up menus and pages, the visual appearance is still messed up.
