Be sure to add your new site to your Honors WP Dashboard. To do this, go to your Purchase History > View Licenses > Manage Sites, then add your new site.

When you import your LearnDash content you must be uploading a zip file. If in the previous step the zip didn’t generate and instead you downloaded a folder, you’ll need to zip that before uploading. 

Once you have your zip file go to your wp-admin > LearnDash LMS > Import Export > Import. 

Uploading the Exported Zip File #

Select the zip folder you just exported.

Before selecting Import, please read the following instructions carefully.

The importer uses something called an action scheduler where the tasks are processed in the background. While slower to process than other options, this ensures the content doesn’t time out when importing. 

Because of this, you may think the importer is stuck. Don’t worry, it isn’t. If there is an error or the importer is stuck you’ll see a specific error message and then can reach out to our support team for assistance. 

So how long will it take to import? This depends on the amount of content you are importing and your server specifications. In general, a single course could take a few minutes and all your courses, lessons, topics, quizzes, etc could take hours depending on the number of them. 

When you start the import, your screen will look like this:

Notice how it says 0 of 0 files? This is because the import is pending and analyzing the zip you’ve uploaded. 

Once the zip has been analyzed it’ll show the actual number of files:

The next step in the process is for the importer to actually import your content into the site which will update the status to completed:

As you can see from the above screenshot, the status of the file is now completed. 

In some instances, depending on the chunk size for some of the items, you’ll have multiple files. If you click on “Show More Details”, you’ll be able to see all those files like this:

The final stage in the import process is mapping the content. This is one of the slower processes of the import so don’t worry if it appears “hung”, as it’ll be going through making sure the content is associated correctly. 

Once everything is complete you should all green “Completed” next to each step and be able to check out your newly imported content!
