 * Good afternoon, I manually re-created a website with hundreds of posts and now
   need to retrieve/export the comments from the old website and import them into
   the new website in development and connect them with the appropriate post. Since
   it is possible the post IDs won’t match, is there a way to properly map the comments
   to the right post using this plugin?

 * I have since purchased the plugin and although the comments are showing to have
   exported, when I open the CSV in Excel, there are no records showing. Any insight
   is appreciated!

 * You can match by the parent post slug or post title instead of IDs.

 * Please replicate this issue on a debug site at [http://www.wpallimport.com/debug/](http://www.wpallimport.com/debug/)
   and open a support request at [http://www.wpallimport.com/support/](http://www.wpallimport.com/support/)
   with the details. We’ll need to see the export settings and the database to understand
   what’s going wrong.
