 * Hi guys,
 * I need to migrate two of my wordpress sites from my previous host to another 
   and forgot to to export XML file from within the wordpress platform (shameful,
   I know).
 * Good news is I have the SQL export through phpmyadmin.
 * I’ve uploaded and the DB is configured correctly along with all the files.
    The
   only thing that remains is to import the XML file which I don’t have 🙁 It seems
   the only window left open is to convert SQL to XML and from what I’ve read you
   can save the day!
 * I need your urgent assistance with many, many thanks.
 * Good day,
 * Al

 * You won’t need to convert the database to XML, just restore the database at the
   new host following this guide: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup](https://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup)
 * (the MySQL database contains everything the XML export would have)
