Move wordpress posts of custom post type with its categories along with child parent relationship of categories

I have been working on project of wordpress with my custom designed theme for a client. I provided my client two versions of his website, like one is live and other one is staging.

Live project is on for public while staging is for only client to see the required changes he want me to do.. if he is satisfied with the results I moved these changes to live project.

Now the problem I am facing now, is moving a data from staging to live. Client had some data entry work on staging on a custom post type and assigned them categories and categories are in child parent relationship.

when I export custom post type, wordpress actually generates a file of xml in which all the posts and categories are available but there is no any child parent relationship.

I am posting below some pictures with a hope you can get a clear picture of my question and able to help/guide me.

Categories and its hierarchical order: enter image description here

Result of export file: (xml file) enter image description here Note: booklet-lvl-vi-sub-i is a child category and a parent but export file does not seems to have any kind of relationship of categories.

Now this is when I am trying to import exported file its showing no any hierarchy. enter image description here

I have tried many plugins to move data accurately and with its hierarchy order but found no success. I am really very confused now what to do and how to do that.

Please help/guide me through this problem, I have done my best to explain my situation, and hope you got this.. I really need the solution!

Thanks in advance!

After taking a long break, finally I found the solution,

  1. Exported all content from Wordpress

where I got all the data (Post/Categories/Tags) etc and Categories with child parent relationship.

  1. Exported custom post type separatly (Optional)

I removed all the data from xml file from 1st step except Categories with child parent relationship and then merged with 2nd export file. Finally I have now a new xml file ready to be imported and I got what I needed.

Now I have all the posts with there categories having same child parent relationship.

Hope if anyone faces similar problem then my answer could help!
