WordPress Importer handle Pages as well as Posts

[yoixo]

Hi everyone! Quick question: does the built-in WordPress Importer handle Pages as well as Posts?

I exported a single Page to XML (via Tools → Export → “Pages”), imported it on a fresh site, but only Posts show up afterwards. The Page is nowhere to be found.

Is this a known limitation, or did I miss a setting?

Thanks!

Hi,

The importer handles both post and page types https://github.com/Vvveb/import-wordpress/blob/main/admin/controller/settings.php#L36

Can you please check in your exported xml if the post types have page type?

<wp:post_type><![CDATA[page]]></wp:post_type>

If possible you can share a sample xml and I will make some tests to see why it's not working.

I just retested with both https://github.com/WordPress/theme-test-data/blob/master/themeunittestdata.wordpress.xml
and with all content and pages xml's exported from wp-admin/export.php and the imported pages show in admin > pages.
