How to Migrate Blogspot To Wordpress

Step 1 Move Blogspot to your WordPress.

Log in to Blogger and go to your admin page. If you have more than 1 blog, make sure to select the blog you want to move to.

Open the settings menu and click More.

In the "More" menu, make a backup of your Blogger site by clicking "Backup Content". You will download the .xml file.

Go to your admin page. On the admin page dashboard, go to the Tools menu and select Import. You will install the website importer. In this case, select Blogger Importer. Click the Install Now button near Blogger Importer. After installation, the options will change from Install Now to Run Importer.

Click Run Importer. A new menu will appear. Click Choose File and select the .xml file you downloaded from Blogspot. Then click upload file and import, and the migration process from Blogger to WordPress is complete!

Step 2 Divert traffic from Blogger to WordPress

You have now transferred all users, posts, and comments from Blogger to your WordPress. However, all your traffic will still go to the Blogger website. The solution is to redirect from the old website to the new website.

There are several different ways to redirect Blogger to WordPress. The easiest and fastest way is to use a plugin. There are several plugins available for this. This plugin is one of them.

Download and install the Blogger To WordPress plugin.

Go to the Tools menu on the WordPress dashboard admin page and select the Blogger to WordPress redirect plugin.

On the Plugins menu, click Start Configuration. The plugin will allow you to choose your blog's domain (since you can also move multiple Blogger sites to your WordPress). Click Get Code and you will receive a code template that you will later install on Blogger.

Open your Blogger site and go to the admin area page. Go to the Templates menu and click Revert to Classic at the bottom.

The template menu will change and you will be able to edit the HTML code file. Copy the code from the previous plugin and paste it into your Blogger template code. Click Save Template and you're done!

You can test if the redirect is working by pressing Verify Configuration in the plugin menu. The plugin will provide a link to your Blogger website. Clicking on the link will open your WordPress site, not Blogger.
