# Exporting posts only not working

 * I’m attempting to move my blog from a different host — I don’t want to import
   the pages, only the posts. When I export choose “posts”, the resulting export
   file is only 2.18k even though there are over 1200 posts. (If I export the entire
   file, it’s 12MB, but I don’t want to export the pages to the new site, only the
   posts)
 * I’ve tried exporting a single month’s worth of posts, but the file is still 2.18k.
   If I export only the posts with a specific category for a couple months, it’s
   slightly bigger (2.37k) as the coding now includes the category but nothing else.
   It doesn’t seem to matter what I choose, all the posts export files are basically
   empty…
 * I’m using the most recently version of WPs importer/exporter plugin, though I’m
   only on 3.1.3 of WP itself (which is one reason why I’m moving hosts.)
 * What else can I try?

 * Fixed it! Old webmistress had used an old 2.4 theme that didn’t jive with 3.0.
   Loaded Advanced Export plug-in and got everything divided into more manageable
   files.
