Top Helpers in This Lesson
No, I have not created a sub-page yet as I do not have enough details to do that. I need specifics and if it's too simple - it doesn't have enough information. I've read the directions a bunch of times and I still don't get it.
ReplyThanks a lot!

When importing the back-up files (.xml) start importing the "All Content" file. Tutorial updated now.
The "Media" file back-up is for emergency purposes only if in case the "All Media" file didn't show the media / pictures on your posts or pages. So, to make sure of that, you can import the "Media" file after importing the "All Content" file.
Thanks for having this tutorial, I'm glad it's becoming useful to my fellow members here.
