Transferring your Blogger data to WordPress involves a few simple steps. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you migrate your blog content from Blogger (Blogspot) to a self-hosted WordPress.org site:

📌 Prerequisites:

• A domain and hosting with WordPress installed.
• Access to your Blogger account.

Step 1: Log in to Your WordPress Dashboard

• Go to your WordPress admin panel (yoursite.com/wp-admin).

Step 2: Install the Blogger Importer Tool

1. In the WordPress dashboard, go to Tools → Import.
2. Under the list of import tools, find “Blogger” and click “Install Now.”
3. After installation, click “Run Importer.”

Step 3: Authorize WordPress to Access Your Blogger Account

1. Click “Authorize” to connect your Blogger account with WordPress.
2. Sign in to your Google account if prompted.
3. Grant the necessary permissions for WordPress to access your Blogger data.

Step 4: Select the Blogger Blog to Import

• Once authorized, WordPress will list all Blogger blogs associated with your account.
• Click the “Import” button next to the blog you want to transfer.

Step 5: Assign Authors

• WordPress will ask you to assign posts to existing users or create new ones.
• Choose the appropriate user for the imported content.

Step 6: Wait for Import to Complete

• WordPress will start importing your Blogger posts, comments, and categories.
• This may take a few minutes depending on the size of your blog.

Step 7: Redirect Blogger to WordPress (Recommended)

To retain SEO rankings and existing visitors:

1. Install and activate a plugin like “Blogger to WordPress Redirection.”
2. Go to Tools → Blogger to WordPress Redirection and click “Start Configuration.”
3. Click “Get Code” and copy the redirection code.
4. Log in to your Blogger dashboard → Theme → Edit HTML.
5. Replace the entire code with the one copied from the plugin.
6. Save the theme.

This will redirect visitors from your old Blogger posts to the corresponding WordPress URLs.

Step 8: Check and Fix Formatting

• Go over your WordPress site and check for formatting issues.
• Reconfigure permalinks (Settings → Permalinks) for better SEO.
• Upload images manually if some didn’t transfer correctly.
