I have a Wordpress website (v 6.1.1) and I want to develop a new site with a fresh installation of Wordpress. So that there is no interruption in the service, I want to install the new version of Wordpress in a directory on my server to work on the new site with no rush.

I want to keep the posts of the "Blog" section and for this I ask you: is there any way to export the posts from the old version to the new one? I think on replacing the new wp_posts and wp_postmeta database tables with the old ones but I don't know if this is going to work or if this is a correct way to do it.

Thanks in advance!!!

you can create a staging site of the current site and update the WordPress version there. you will get all old data on the updated version of WordPress.
