 * Hi,
 * I’d like to transfer posts from a particular category to a new installation of
   WP. (the new website will only include some of the posts from the old one)
 * Could anyone tell me what sql query to run in PHPMyAdmin in order to do this?(
   or any alternative method!)
 * Thanks

 * ha! thought the search was being a bit weird. Thanks for pointing me in the right
   direction!
 * The new install has the manage>export option the technosailor.com plugin refers
   to, but the old one (the one I’m exporting from doesn’t)
 * I’ve tried upgrading, but that doesn’t seem to have worked. (Will try again later).
   Do you happen to when (ie what version of WP) the manage>export option was introduced.
   The version I was running was 2.0 …

 * The “fancy” WXR export (same as technosailer’s plugin) came as part of 2.1.
