Export WordPress Nav Menus

I have a WP 3.0 site running locally that has an epic menu of about 100 items, I need to export it so I can use it on the live site. But from what I can tell the Export function in WordPress doesn't back up your menus. How can I do it?

For a recent build I was forced to manually migrate the :

  • wp_terms
  • wp_term_taxonomy
  • wp_term_relationships

doing this manually perfectly copied my menu's to the new site.

It's not the items that are the issue, it's actually the order that isn't stored.

The menu order is stored in the wp_posts table, under the menu_order field. This field isn't currently included in the WordPress XML Import/Export. There's a trouble ticket in the Trac project with a temporary patch to fix this if you need this immediately, I would suspect that this will be included in the next release:

I hope that helps!

Menu settings are stored in the options table. Dump that table and take a look at how they are structured.
