    Hello fellow wordpressers! 🙂

    I was hoping if you could help me or pointing me to the right forum?
    I am trying to import an SQL database file with about 800 old posts into my new, clean wordpress site as posts.
    But after importing with myphpadmin, it only appears as a new datasheet next to the other wordpress datasheets.
    When i am trying to import into the wp-posts set, it still wont import there either.

    My question is: Is there a way to move/convert/import the sql file into the post section of the wordpress database to create posts?

    Thank you so much for your help!

    hi there,

    have you found a solution? was your old post created with WordPress? you may consider importing the sql into a table, exporting the old posts in csv format, and import it back as posts again using plugins such as WP All Import. there are many options to customize the import process and it is a free plugin.

    cheers.
