Where are posts stored

    I was recently asked to sell my domain name to someone which I was happy to do. I made a complete backup of my blog and have now establised a new domain and have installed WordPress. Is there a way for me to get all of my old posts on to the new site? I tried a couple of things with the databses but it either didn’t work…or it reinstalled the databsaes but they were all pointing to the old domain. I’d just like to get the posts, categories, etc. from the old blog to the new one. Am I screwed?

    Everything is stored in the database: posts, Pages, comments, settings etc.
    You need to restore the old database in order to get back your old posts.
    The reason the DB points to the old URI is because those settings are stored in DB, too.
    Restore the site_url and home values in the wp_options table to the new address; see this guide:
