If you are using BasePress Knowledge Base in your site, chances are that you may need to move all of its content to a new site.
BasePress Migration Tools is the easiest way to do that. It generates an export file with all the Knowledge Bases, sections, articles and settings data.
You can then import the content using the same Migration tools in the destination site.

⚠️ It is strongly recommended to create a backup of both source and destination sites before exporting and importing content.
