# Export/Import courses

 * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exportimport-courses/)
 * Anyone got any ideas on how to perform a Import/Export of the courses and units?
   
   I started going through the DB and quickly dismissed this (ended up in me deciding
   to remove my whole WordPress install and cleaning everything out) just to be 
   sure no strange conflict occur. Got the old install (with a performance issue
   on the unit overview page)
 * so the Question is.
    is there any way to export and import courses / units?
 * my idea would be either via the DB directly (try’d this but I’m pretty sure some
   connections just went wrong)..
    or raw data dump via code, and raw data inject(
   thus creating new id’s and id_connections via raw data dump. (text only == raw
   data dump.)
 * any other ideas, thoughts on how to make a import/export?

 * Hi [@vallivals](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vallivals/),
 * I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.
 * Currently there isn’t a plugin option to import/export courses and units but 
   there is already a feature request created for this feature and this feature 
   may be added in future version of plugin but We don’t publish ETAs to prevent
   disappointment if a deadline is missed(which in plugin development quite a frequent
   occurrence!).
 * Currently you can import/export courses and units by exporting the following 
   post types and taxonomies.
 * **Post types:**
    course unit
 * **Taxonomy:**
    course_category
 * **Additional post types that CoursePress plugin uses:**
    module certificates 
   module_response notifications discussions
 * Find more information about WordPress database tables on the following page and
   export the information from related tables like wp_posts, wp_postmeta, wp_terms,
   wp_term_relationships, wp_term_taxonomy, wp_users, wp_usermeta etc. containing
   the data related to the above post types and taxonomy.

 * Thank you Vinod Dalvi 😉
    I’ve found that exporting/importing the course, unit,
   works like a charm just using the default wordpress (export/import) tool. The
   real issu is the modules =/ (subpages and all the content of the courses) and
   the id relations they have to the actual courses/units.
 * Specially as a course has gotten above average size this will become really painfull
   if one want’s to move this to another server even. say another version of coursepress.
   or from dev.server to live.server

 * Hi [@vallivals](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vallivals/),
 * On Vinod’s behalf, you’re most welcome! And I’m glad the initial items are importing
   okay though as you’ve seen, other things like course units aren’t quite so simple.
 * We’ll be looking at possibilities for extending the plugin with such features,
   sorry that’s not available right this moment though. Just let us know if there
   is anything we can help with, we’ll do our best to assist. 🙂
 * Thanks,
    David
