===Import old content===

Notes:

* Posts (pages) will maintain their Wordpress '''post IDs''' if possible (they aren't already taken on the new site), so fewer broken links!
* Media files (attachments) will only import from an '''"All content" export'''
* Since "All content" includes elements you might not want to import, like comments or navigation menus, try '''pruning the XML export file''' of those elements before importing

# Old site, Tools → Export → All content (save somewhere)
# New site, Tools → Import → Wordpress
## Install plugin as prompted
## "Activate plugin"
# Tools → Import → Wordpress (select saved export)
## Assign posts to an existing user (sagamorehillspta)
## Download and import file attachments

# Delete unused default plugins:
#* Akismet
#* Hello Dolly
