I need to export posts and content from an old WordPress Site for a customer, to import on their new website. Is there a way to run the old website on my local host? Or is there a better way of getting the data.

CodePudding user response：

WordPress has a built-in Posts and Content exporter I would use something like Duplicator to backup the whole site and migrate to your localhost to use the built-in Posts and Content exporter.

But if you still have access to a working old site, I would just export from there and import on the new site

If you can access database, export cvs/xml file for post and content and then use this plugin to import to new Wordpress site. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-all-import/
