Hi Ahmed17,
I have no idea how you managed to get the WordPress import working for you but as you’ve experienced, it doesn’t (or rather shouldn’t) work. This is due to the page builder data being stored as serialized data. You have a couple of options of manually moving posts over.
Do a Page Builder import / export
Open up a page builder powered page and click the layouts button in the page builder settings menu. Open the Import/Export link and click Download this layout. Move to your other site and do the same but this time select your previously exported layout. This is obviously a pain if there’s a large number of pages.
Duplicate the site
If you’re moving data over to another server you may as well just use Duplicator. It’ll make a 1:1 copy of the site and will allow you to easily migrate a website.
There are other options but they’re complicated and slightly less reliable. Please note that we do not officially provide support for migration related issues.
