# Importing issues

 * I run two wordpress sites
 * mysite.com
 * mysite.com/test
 * mysite is my production site and mysite.com/test is my developmental site.
 * I can not import into mysite.com/test. I wanted to take an exact copy of production
   site and make some modifications.
 * I keep getting a message that states the pages are already created. I believe
   the importer is trying to import into my production site rather then my test 
   site even though I am running the plugin through the dashboard of my test site.
 * Is there a way to direct where the imported files are to go and what directory
   should they be pointed at?
 * Or is there another method to import my pages?
 * Thanks
