How to Transfer Blogger to WordPress Website?

WordPress allows you to customize your site with thousands of themes and plugins, and also offers better SEO and performance features. However, moving from Blogger to WordPress can be a tricky process, especially if you want to preserve your traffic and rankings.

In this article, we will show you how to transfer Blogger to WordPress website on mobile without losing any data or SEO. We will cover the following steps:

• Step 1: Export your Blogger blog data
• Step 2: Import your Blogger blog data to WordPress
• Step 3: Set up redirects from Blogger to WordPress
• Step 4: Check and fix any issues after migration

Step 1: Export your Blogger blog data

The first step is to export your Blogger blog data as an XML file. This file will contain all your posts, pages, comments, and images. To do this, follow these steps:

• On your mobile device, open your web browser and go to Blogger.com.
• Log in with your Google account and select the blog you want to export.
• Tap on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) on the top left corner and select Settings.
• Scroll down and tap on Backup content under Manage blog.
• Tap on Download to save the XML file to your device.

Step 2: Import your Blogger blog data to WordPress

The next step is to import your Blogger blog data to WordPress. For this, you will need a WordPress hosting account and a domain name. If you don’t have them yet, you can check out Hostiso’s WordPress hosting plans, which offer a one-click WordPress installer, a free domain name.

Once you have your WordPress site ready, follow these steps to import your Blogger blog data:

• On your mobile device, open your web browser and go to your WordPress admin dashboard (usually yourdomain.com/wp-admin).
• Log in with your username and password and tap on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) on the top right corner.
• Tap on Tools and then on Import.
• From the list of available platforms, tap on the Install Now button next to Blogger and wait for WordPress to install the plugin.
• Tap on the Run Importer link and select the XML file you downloaded from Blogger.
• Tap on the Upload file and import button and wait for WordPress to import your Blogger blog data.
• On the next screen, you can assign your Blogger posts to an existing WordPress user or create a new one. You can also check the box to import attachments, which will download your Blogger images to your WordPress media library.
• Tap on the Submit button and wait for WordPress to finish the import process.

Step 3: Set up redirects from Blogger to WordPress

The third step is to set up redirects from Blogger to WordPress. This is very important to avoid losing your traffic and rankings, as well as to prevent any broken links or 404 errors. To do this, you will need to install and activate a plugin called Blogger to WordPress Redirection.

This plugin will automatically generate the redirection code for your Blogger blog and also help you set up permalinks on your WordPress site. Permalinks are the URLs of your posts and pages, and you want them to match the ones on your Blogger blog as much as possible.

To set up redirects from Blogger to WordPress, follow these steps:

• On your mobile device, open your web browser and go to your WordPress admin dashboard.
• Tap on the menu icon and then on Plugins.
• Tap on the Add New button and search for Blogger to WordPress Redirection.
• Tap on the Install Now button and then on the Activate button.
• Tap on the menu icon and then on Tools.
• Tap on Blogger to WordPress Redirection and then on the Start Configuration button.
• The plugin will show you a list of your Blogger blogs and their corresponding WordPress blogs. Tap on the Get Code button next to the blog you want to redirect.
• The plugin will generate a code snippet that you need to copy to your clipboard.
• Open a new tab on your browser and go to Blogger.com.
• Log in with your Google account and select the blog you want to redirect.
• Tap on the menu icon and then on Theme.
• Tap on the Edit HTML button and replace the entire code with the code snippet you copied from the plugin.
• Tap on the Save Theme button and then on the View Blog button to test the redirection.

Step 4: Check and fix any issues after migration

The final step is to check and fix any issues that might have occurred during the migration process. For example, you might want to:

• Check your posts and pages for any formatting or image errors and fix them accordingly.
• Check your site speed and performance and optimize them using plugins like WP Rocket or [WP-Optimize].
• Check your SEO settings and optimize them using plugins like [Yoast SEO] or [All in One SEO].
• Check your site security and protect it using plugins like [Sucuri] or [Wordfence].
• Check your site analytics and track your traffic using plugins like [MonsterInsights] or [Google Site Kit].
