How To Move Your Blog From Blogger To WordPress

So, have you made your final decision to move the blog? No, don’t overthink that now! We welcome your decision – starting a self-hosted WordPress site was a smart choice and you will end up having more perks than you might have thought.

Since you have invested so much time into Blogger, it would be a shame to just forget about it. While there’s no point in transferring a couple of posts and images, the chances are that you have devoted months if not even years before realizing the benefits of WordPress. Don’t worry; if you stick with us, we will show you how to transfer your blog from Blogger to WordPress in no time.

What should and will be transferred?

Before we start, it would be nice to know a few details.

In a perfect world, you would go to one blog, click a button to export it, and it would magically appear on your self-hosted website. While it is still not possible, we at First Site Guide offer a substitution for the magic. Let us move your Blogger site to a self-hosted WordPress.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to transfer the entire site as it looks on Blogger. The style of your blog (theme, extensions, fonts, colors, widgets, etc.) will have to be added separately. You can only transfer the data:

  • Posts and pages
  • Comments
  • Categories
  • Media
  • Permalinks
  • Feed
  • Authors
  • Traffic
