I’ve written a very simple script that is built to do exactly what you’re talking about. Here’s the basic process you’ll want to follow. On the old server, log-in to PHPmyAdmin and export the database. On the new server, log-in to PHPmyAdmin and create your database. You may need to create a new MySQL user … Read more

To resolve this you should convert the collation for all tables with utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci to utf8_general_ci If you’re exporting through phpmyadmin, you can: Click the “Export” tab for the database Click the “Custom” radio button Go the section titled “Format-specific options” … Read more

Given a post to be imported with an ID of 7579 (represented in the WXR export file as <wp:post_id>7579</wp:post_id>) and an existing post with that exact same ID … Read more
Hook int force_filtered_html_on_import and return FALSE. See ticket #14818. add_filter( ‘force_filtered_html_on_import’ , ‘__return_false’ ); By default this is set to TRUE in wp-includes/ms-default-filters.php.
