Summary

In order to support and maintain our free website platforms, we periodically review USNH Domains and mySites at USNH accounts that have not been logged in to or updated in more than a year. Sites which are no longer active will be removed. 

If someone leaves USNH their USNH username and password permissions will change. Once these permissions change, site or domain owners will be unable to log in to their USNH websites even to delete them. 

Should a mySites website need to remain active, a current USNH faculty, staff, or student editor must agree to take ownership, and they must be added to the site as a user and assigned admin privileges. 

How-To

Instructions for Downloading USNH Domains and mySites at USNH content  

Step 1 - Navigate to your Wordpress Dashboard  

Step 2 - Under the Tools Menu option choose Available Tools >Export  

Step 3 - This page will allow you to choose what content you would like to export as an XML file. This XML file could be then reuploaded to a new Wordpress site in the future  

Step 4 - Click the “Download Export” file.

Please Note: this export will not save any themes, images or files you may have uploaded to the site, it will only contain your posts, pages, menus, comments, and tags. Make sure to manually save and download copies of any media content you’d like to preserve. Additional information can be found at Wordpress.org.
