Migrate from Blogger to WordPress

 How to migrate WordPress from Blogger.

Many have been using Blogger for a very long time. Those who use WordPress, they get many benefits like they can use many types of plugins, their own scripts, etc. You can decorate WordPress as you like.

 

But Blogger does not have such features. Which is why many people want to migrate from Blogger to WordPress. Today I will show you how to migrate from Blogger to WordPress. The rules are simple but a little tricky.

 

First step :- Copy all posts and pages from Blogger.

v Go to your Blogger Dashboard.

v Click on the theme and then click on backup.

v Download your backup file.

v Put it in a safe folder on your computer.

 

Second Step :- Custom domain name server needs to be changed.

v If you don’t have a custom domain, ignore this step.

v Go to the Custom Domains dashboard.

v Click on Nameserver.

v Now here you enter the name of your web host Nameserver, the Webhost with which you want to host your WordPress. 

Example – ns1. pananames.com,  ns2. pananames.com

v Save it.

 

Third Step :- Setup WordPress.

v Go to the WordPress dashboard.

v Click on toos>Import

v Clicks on Install now > Blogger.

v Click on Run importer >> after installation.

v Upload the file you downloaded from Blogger.

v Change the author's name if you want.

Fourth Step :- Redirect the old permalink to the new permalink.

v Go to Settings then click on Permalink.

v Select the permalink of your choice. But the best is just post permalink. Select post name permalink. Save it.

v Click on add new plugin.

v Install the Redirection Plugin and activate it.

v Finish the setup by clicking on the redirection.

v Now click on Add New.

v Put the permalink of your blogger post in the source URL.

v And put the WordPress permalink in the target URL, same post.

v Click on Add Redirect.

v Example :- Blogger permalink = internetserver.top/2020/09/how-many-countries-in-world.html

v And Wordpress permalink =  internetserver.top/how-many-countries-in-world

v So blogger permalink redirects to your new WordPress permalink.

v Why Permalinks need to be redirected. Because if your blog is new, then there is no need to redirect. But if your blog is old then you need to redirect it. Because your blog posts have already gone to search engines. So if someone clicks on that post, it will show an error. And you will be deprived of a lot of traffic.
