    i appear to have a bit of a problem on my blog with WooCommerce. So much so that I cannot use it as it produces a load of errors.

    If I was to reinstall Wordpress to clear any potential problems left from plugins. Is there any way I can keep my archive posts ?

    Or would I have to take the HTML of each and repost once reinstalled ?

    I've been looking at various new themes to install with a good ecommerce part to them but they all require WooCommerce.

    thanks guys

    Export all your posts in XML format: WP Admin → Tools → Export

    I recommend you saving your whole database before you reinstall WP.

    Thanks Devtard, is it case of simply doing that, then reimporting afterwards then ?

    Exactly. You will have all relevant data in the backup - posts, comments, categories, tags etc.
