Exporting your site

Whilst it is possible to export your CampusPress site, there are a couple of issues that make it difficult to fully copy a site to import on a different WordPress server. Firstly Only the code and text transfer, meaning images—often essential parts of the content—are not included. In addition, the templates used in CampusPress may not be available or free on other platforms such as WordPress.com.

 

Step-by-step guide

  1. Log in to your CampusPress site’s dashboard.
  2. Go to the “Tools” menu on the left-hand side.
