Do you want to export a navigation menu from one WordPress site and import it into another?

您是否要从一个WordPress网站导出导航菜单并将其导入另一个网站？

The default WordPress import / export feature allows you to transfer menus as part of the full site transfer, but it does not let you import / export menus by themselves.

默认的WordPress导入/导出功能允许您将菜单作为完整站点传输的一部分进行传输，但不允许您自己导入/导出菜单。

In this article, we’ll show you how to easily import / export navigation menus in WordPress, so you can save time.

在本文中，我们将向您展示如何轻松地在WordPress中导入/导出导航菜单，从而节省时间。

On every WordPress site, you have built-in import and export features. You can find these under Tools » Import and Tools » Export in your WordPress dashboard.

在每个WordPress网站上 ，您都具有内置的导入和导出功能。 您可以在WordPress信息中心的“ 工具”»“导入”和“ 工具”»“导出”下找到这些内容。

If you go to the Export page, you’ll see the WordPress default options. These let you choose between exporting all content, or exporting only your posts, pages, or media.

如果转到“导出”页面，将看到WordPress默认选项。 这些使您可以选择导出所有内容，还是仅导出帖子，页面或媒体。

All content includes your navigation menus … plus posts, pages, comments, custom fields, terms, and custom post types.

所有内容都包括您的导航菜单…以及帖子，页面，评论，自定义字段，字词和自定义帖子类型 。

But in many cases, you don’t want to import everything. For instance, you might just want to replicate your navigation menu and the pages included in it, but not your posts or any other pages.

但是在许多情况下，您不想导入所有内容。 例如，您可能只想复制导航菜单及其中包含的页面，而不是您的帖子或任何其他页面。

Luckily, there’s an easy plugin that extends this functionality, so you can only import and export navigation menus in WordPress.

Upon activation, you need to visit Tools » Export page in your WordPress admin dashboard.

You should now see an additional option to export navigation menu items. This will include your menu itself, plus all the pages that are linked from your menu.

现在，您应该看到一个导出导航菜单项的附加选项。 这将包括您的菜单本身，以及从菜单链接的所有页面。

If you have any posts in your menu, those will be included too, along with any comments on them.

如果您的菜单中有任何帖子，这些帖子以及对它们的任何评论也将包括在内。

Simply select the Navigation Menu Items radio button and then click the ‘Download Export File’ button.

只需选择“导航菜单项”单选按钮，然后单击“下载导出文件”按钮。

This lets you download your navigation menu and its associated pages to your computer. These are stored in an .xml file with the name site.wordpress.yyyy-mm-dd, where “site” is the name of your website and “yyyy-mm-dd” is the date.

这使您可以将导航菜单及其相关页面下载到计算机上。 这些文件存储在名称为site.wordpress.yyyy-mm-dd的.xml文件中，其中“ site”是您的网站名称，“ yyyy-mm-dd”是日期。

You can import the .xml file you just downloaded by using WordPress’s standard Import feature. It’s a simple process. You just need to upload your navigation menu file to your new site.

您可以使用WordPress的标准导入功能导入刚刚下载的.xml文件。 这是一个简单的过程。 您只需要将导航菜单文件上载到新站点。

Important: Make sure you don’t have any existing pages with the same name as pages in the menu you’re importing, not even in the trash. Otherwise, the import tool may not be able to import those pages correctly.

重要提示：请确保没有与您要导入的菜单中的页面同名的现有页面，甚至没有垃圾桶。 否则，导入工具可能无法正确导入这些页面。

First, log in to your WordPress dashboard on the new site where you want to import your menu.

首先，在要导入菜单的新站点上登录WordPress仪表板。

Next, go to Tools » Import. You’ll need to install the WordPress importer. Just click the ‘Install Now’ link beneath ‘WordPress’ at the bottom of the list.

Once you’ve installed the WordPress importer, you should see a ‘Run Importer’ link in place of the ‘Install Now’ link.

安装WordPress导入程序后，您应该会看到“运行导入程序”链接，而不是“立即安装”链接。

After you click on this link, you’ll see the Import WordPress screen. Here, you’ll need to click the ‘Choose file’ button so you can select the .xml file you downloaded earlier.

单击此链接后，您将看到“导入WordPress”屏幕。 在这里，您需要单击“选择文件”按钮，以便选择之前下载的.xml文件。

Once you’ve selected your file, go ahead and click the ‘Upload file and import’ button.

选择文件后，继续并单击“上传文件并导入”按钮。

On the next screen, you’ll be asked to ‘Assign Authors’. The default option is to import the original author of the menu content.

在下一个屏幕上，系统将要求您“分配作者”。 默认选项是导入菜单内容的原始作者。

In many cases, it’ll make the most sense to set an existing user as the author of the imported content. You can do that by selecting the user’s name from the dropdown menu.

在许多情况下，将现有用户设置为导入内容的作者是最有意义的。 您可以通过从下拉菜单中选择用户名来实现。

If you plan to re-use the content of the pages themselves, then you’ll also want to check the ‘Download and import file attachments’ box. This means that images will be included in the import.

如果您打算重复使用页面本身的内容，则还需要选中“下载并导入文件附件”框。 这意味着图像将包含在导入中。

Once you’re happy with your settings, click the ‘Submit’ button at the bottom of the page.

对设置满意后，请点击页面底部的“提交”按钮。

Upon completion, you should see the following message:

完成后，您应该看到以下消息：

The import has put your menu and the associated pages in place. To take a look at the imported menu, just go to Appearance » Menus. Here, you can make sure that it’s been imported correctly.

导入已将菜单和关联的页面放置到位。 要查看导入的菜单，只需转到外观»菜单 。 在这里，您可以确保已正确导入它。
