wordpress

I was playing around with wordpress in another domain using a subdomain. I have started another account and domain with wordpress and I would like to import the site I created from the subdomain. Is there a way to import into wordpress?

I would use a backup and restore called UpdraftPlus Backup and Restoration for WordPress

https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/

or

BackWPup Free - WordPress Backup Plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/backwpup/

Also bitnami at https://bitnami.com has a great free local install of wordpress for development if needed.

Thanks

In addition to the above resources, I have an article on this subject:

https://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Blogs/WordPress/A_10258-How-To-Move-A-WordPress-Site.html
to move the site, you'll need to have the same theme and plugins installed on the new site.
then on the existing site to to the admin - Tools -export and export all data into an xml file.
then go to your new site and goto admin - tools - import and import the said xml file.
