Import and export

Import

The Import page in the dashboard lets you migrate comment data from other systems into Quipthread.

Supported import formats

Source	File
Disqus	XML export from the Disqus admin (Moderation → Export)
WordPress WXR	WXR file from WordPress (Tools → Export)
Remark42	JSON export from the Remark42 admin panel
Quipthread JSON	A Quipthread native JSON export
Quipthread SQLite	A Quipthread SQLite database file
Generic SQLite	Any SQLite file. After upload, choose a table and map its columns to comment fields such as content, page URL, author, and date.

How to import

1. Open the Import page in the dashboard.
2. Select the source.
3. Choose the destination site and upload the file. For Generic SQLite, map the columns.
4. Run the import and review the result.

Re-importing the same file skips comments that were already imported. For Generic SQLite, this requires mapping the source ID column.

Note

On Quipthread Cloud, imported comments count toward your monthly comment allowance. Check Billing before a large import.

Export

Export your comment data from the Sites page. Select Export on a site row to reveal the export controls.

Supported export formats

Format	Availability
Native JSON	All plans
CSV	Starter plan and above on Quipthread Cloud; always when self-hosted

Use native JSON to move comments between Quipthread instances. An export is not a complete instance backup: it does not replace the database, account, and configuration backups described in Backups and restore.

Filter options

Before exporting you can narrow the data:

Filter	Options
Status	Approved only, or all comments (including pending and rejected)
Date range	From and to dates
Page ID	Restrict to a single page

How to export

1. Open the Sites page and select Export for your site.
2. Choose the format and set any filters.
3. Click Export — the browser will download the file directly.
