I think it little bit difficult than migrate a content from active domain into new domain. The problem is your domain is expired, it's mean you can't export all of your WordPress posts form WP dashboard. But, you can still the content using cPanel or MySQL. Find how to do this here .... http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database When you got the database, you can start create a WP with new domain and transfer the content from the expired domain. See how to do this here.... http://userguide.expand2web.com/moving-wordpress-to-a-new-server-and-new-domain/ How it useful for you. Regards
this is very simple case i'm using this method for many times, you can follow this steps : 1. backup your /wp-content folder 2. export your wordpress database from phpmyadmin 3. install wordpress on your NEW domain 4. open up phpmyadmin, and DROP table ( from your new wordpress database ) 5. Import your old database ( from step 2 ), to your New wordpress database. ( make sure that you have follow step 4 ) 6. still on phpmyadmin, go to your wordpress database, go to table "wp_options", find record "siteurl" and "home", change the value with your new domain name. 5. restore your old /wp-content folder to your new wordpress instalation ( on new domain ) done you can contact me if you need help ( admin at masaguz dot com )
