 * Hi,
 * I wish to switch to your Knowledge Base Plugin from a [previous plugin which is no longer active](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-knowledgebase/)(
   [source code](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-knowledgebase/tags/1.3.0))
   or updated, support for newer PHP versions and has security issues.
 * My question is: Is there a easy way to merge or import the articles or would 
   I need to start over? Theme support shouldn’t be an issue as I use a basic theme(
   [twentytwelve](https://en-gb.wordpress.org/themes/twentytwelve/)). It’s just 
   the articles.
 * It seems its using a custom `post_type` of `kbe_knowledgebase` from the `_posts`
   table.
 * Cheers

 * At the moment, BasePress does not have an in built import-export tool. But any
   plugin which allows post-type to post-type migration should work for this. Please
   try free version of the BasePress and you should be able to experiment on this.
 * Do let us know how it does once you try it.
