I can and will create this, and can start on this today. However, my time to develop is pretty limited but I hope to finish it within a week. * I’ll post here when it finishes 🙂 * Kind regards, * Jeroen Peters * Thread Starter [vinnymickey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinnymickey/) * (@vinnymickey) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-42/#post-9567415) * TY so much, would it be as simple as export database and import to another WP site using your plugin? * I was looking around file manager via my cpanel to see if I can find where it stored something related to a CVS file but no luck. * TY been using your plugin for a growing glossary I been working on for my sites and would be nice to export and import for full setups on new sites… * Plugin Author [Jeroen Peters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeroenpeters1986/) * (@jeroenpeters1986) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-42/#post-9567495) * Hi [@vinnymickey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinnymickey/), * if you are familiair with phpMyAdmin, it’s pretty simple. You can export the two tables `wp_name_directory` and `wp_name_directory_name` and Import them in your new website. * The prefix name of the tables (`wp_`) could differ though, depending on how you installed it. * There are plenty of tutorials online which can help you with export and import of tables. * I hope this helps, otherwise, I’ll be working on the export option. * Kind regards, * Jeroen Peters * Thread Starter [vinnymickey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinnymickey/) * (@vinnymickey) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-42/#post-9567556) * Interesting and i am always learning and find my way around quickly. Yes I have been in myphpadmin. Would I just export the whole directory as SQL and import it in the same are on new site? (overwrite what new setup has by default?) * Also should i rename prefix of SQL file before import? - This reply was modified 8 years, 8 months ago by [vinnymickey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinnymickey/). * Thread Starter [vinnymickey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinnymickey/) * (@vinnymickey) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-42/#post-9567692) * hmmm uploaded and renamed the SQL file but they appeared as same prefix as downloaded. I also tried export as CVS and imported it and both didn’t work what am I missing? * The CVS file looks good when opened in excel but didn’t come out when I used short code on new site. * I think SQL was wrong way because the code inside the file, correct?….Should the CVS have worked? - This reply was modified 8 years, 8 months ago by [vinnymickey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vinnymickey/). * Plugin Author [Jeroen Peters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeroenpeters1986/) * (@jeroenpeters1986) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-42/#post-9567720) * Hi Vinny, * you can download an export from phpMyAdmin on your old site’s database. When you export the two tables I mentioned earlier, please also select “Add DROP TABLE statements”. * Please export as SQL file, not as CSV. * Then, you can import the downloaded file in the phpMyAdmin of your new site. In phpMyAdmin there is also an import option. Import the file there. * So do not use the import function of the plugin, just the phpMyadmins. * I hope this is a bit clearer.

The way I tested it, I could just import it on another site. * After you update to version 1.8.0, you should have the export functionality. Hopefully you are willing to upgrade and let me know if this works for you? * Kind regards, * Jeroen Peters Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) The topic ‘Export’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/name-directory/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=1008185) * [Name Directory](https://wordpress.org/plugins/name-directory/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/name-directory/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/name-directory/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/name-directory/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/name-directory/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/name-directory/reviews/) ## Tags * [export](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/export/) * 7 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Jeroen Peters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeroenpeters1986/) * Last activity: [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-42/#post-9587922) * Status: resolved
