 * Hey [@zarboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zarboss/),
 * We currently don’t offer a direct option to migrate only posts. However, you 
   can achieve a similar result by selectively migrating the following tables:
   wp_posts,
   wp_postmeta, wp_terms, wp_term_taxonomy, and wp_term_relationships.
 * Please note that migrating these tables will overwrite all existing posts and
   their associated terms on the destination site.

 * Hi Paolo,
 * Migrate GURU is primarily a full-site migration plugin, so it doesn’t allow exporting
   and importing only posts. It’s designed to migrate your entire site—including
   files and database.
 * However, during the migration process, you **can select specific database tables**
   to migrate, which gives you some control over what content gets moved.
 * If your goal is to move only posts, a better approach might be to use WordPress’s
   built-in **Tools → Export/Import** feature, which allows you to export just your
   posts and import them into another site.
