 * I am trying to get all our FAQs into our new Website.
 * The Import worked great but all the Shortcode IDs have changed.
   Is there any 
   way around this? Otherwise I will have to change the IDs manually in every single
   Page/Post where the FAQs are used (it’s a big website).

 * [@sebriley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sebriley/) While import the WordPress
   auto-allocates the post_ids based on existing content’s post_ids.

   I don’t know your use-case, if its a fresh site. Importing entire site Db and
   deleting other content might work.
