I had to copy a whole wordpress-installation to another server. I simply installed a new WordPress there and imported all the data from an xml-file previous WordPress “exported” for me. Anyway, custom menus were not included. Do you know where in the database are they located, so I could grab them from there?

    This setting happens in the wp_posts table.
    Look in the table for records where the menu_order greater than zero.

    select * from wp_posts where menu_order > 0;

    It will also give you the name of the option in the wp_options table where the menu option is configured.

    select * from wp_options where option_name = "nav_menu_options";

    Also be aware that that wordpress import/export tool will not import media (images,video etc) from the media library which are not being used in posts. If you’ve got stuff that you directly linked to, its not going to be moved either.
