How to Move Your Blog From WordPress to Blogger

 

WordPress is a popular blog platform, offering engaging themes, helpful plug-ins, and a wealth of support for bloggers. However, you may want to move your blog to Google Blogger. If you plan to move from WordPress to Blogger, you'll need to convert your WordPress blog because the platforms use different file formats.

When moving a WordPress blog to Blogger, images and other file attachments won't migrate, and you must set up custom redirects manually.

How to Move Your Blog From WordPress to Blogger

When you transfer a blog from WordPress to Blogger, you'll need to export the blog, comments, pages, and posts from WordPress, then import those elements into Blogger. Here's how:

4. Download the exported WordPress blog file to your computer and unzip it.

5. Go to the WordPress to Blogger Converter online tool, navigate to the exported file, and select Upload. A message that the file was successfully converted appears, and you're prompted to save and download the file.

   

6. Log in to Blogger and create a blog site, if you don't have one.

   

7. Select Settings from the menu on the left, then scroll down to the Manage Blog section.

   

8. Select Import Content.

   

9. Select the Captcha check box and select Import.

   Turn on the Automatically publish all imported posts and pages toggle switch.
