  • Content (posts and pages) in a JSON format
  • Members in a csv format
  • Theme files as a zip file
  • Images used in your publication
  • Post analytics data in a csv format

Content

Export your content from the Labs page in Ghost Admin to download your posts and settings in a single JSON file. The following content and data will be exported:

  • All Settings
  • Staff users
  • Posts
  • Pages
  • Tags

Members

Exports are in CSV format that include the following fields: id, email, name, note, subscribed_to_emails, complimentary_plan, stripe_customer_id, created_at, deleted_at, labels

Member exports can be imported to any other Ghost website using the same format, or reformatted for use on other platforms.
