I can confirm that the imported post will get a new unique ID if (and only if) there already is an existing/conflicting ID in the target database. 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.
I think you have two options (third if you find any plugins). I think if you export data from one WP, the users are also copied. The drawback is that you have to import all the content as well. The second option is to export the users from MySQL using PHPMyAdmin. Just export the user … Read more

I would wage that your issue is with \r\n (CRLF). If the newlines are created in Windows, they’ll go into the database as \r\n and when serialized get counted as 2 characters. Then when importing, they’ll only be counted as 1 character and they’ll corrupt the string. I tested this hypothesis and sure enough I … Read more
The post that an attachment is related to is determined by the post_parent column on the wp_posts table (depending on your database prefix). Set it to the post_ID of the parent post.
You need to increase the upload limit in your php.ini. To increase the maximum upload file size, open your php.ini file in the “xampp/php/php.ini” directory. search for upload_max_filesize and increase the value like : upload_max_filesize = 128M

Create a plugin with the following content and activate it before you run the export: <?php /** * Plugin Name: Slash my … Read more
