So why would you want to move from blogger to Wordpress?
Well the biggest reason is because of the flexibility and customization that WordPress has to offer. Wordpress comes with over 50,000 plugins that allow you to have infinite control over the functionality of your website.
To move this site to wordpress, we're going to take 4 steps:
1. Take our Blogger site and save it into a file
2. Install wordpress to a new site
3. Upload that blogger file into wordpress to display our site.
4. The redirect your old links to the new site.
Step #1. Save Your Blogger Site into a File
So just go over to blogger, and make sure you have the correct blog selected (at the top left)
Then go to settings - Other - Backup Content - Save to your computer
Step #2. Install WordPress to a new site
Okay so to install wordpress to a new site, we'll need to do 3 things:
1. Get Web Hosting
Web hosting is where you store all of your website files. It also provides you with 24/7 customer support in case your website were to ever go down. Web hosting is 100% necessary if you want to own your own professional website.
2. Get a custom domain name
3. Install WordPress on that new domain
So first, lets get web hosting. To do this, just click: https://createaprowebsite.com/hosting
And I do get a commission when you use that link, but it also saves you a lot of money!
Click on “Baby Plan”.
And now you can choose a new domain name. And don’t forget to get domain privacy protection!
Then just fill out the rest of your information and checkout.
Step #3 Upload Our Blogger File Into WordPress
So to do this, just go to Tools - Import
"Install Now" Underneath Blogger - Then "Run Importer"
Choose File - Upload File and Import - Submit
How to Change Your Theme:
Go back to wordpress dashboard - Themes - Add New
Type “Astra” into the search bar then Install - Activate
And if you'd like to edit the header, such as the logo, menu, and overall style... you can just click on the "customize" button.
Step #4 Redirect Your Old Blogger Links
So to do this, first we need to tell wordpress to match our new website links with the old blogger links.
Wordpress dashboard - settings - change timezone (CDT) - Save
Permalinks (on the Left) - Month and Name (because this is same the format that blogger uses and we need them to be the same)
Save changes
So now that we've got all of our settings matching, we need to install a plugin that will actually redirect the links.
Plugins - Add New
Search for "Blogger to Wordpress" (Make sure it’s by rtCamp)
Install - Activate
Next, go to Tools - Blogger to WordPress Redirection
Start configuration
Click "Get Code" next to the correct blogger site
Copy the code
Go back to Blogger, then go to Theme
Click the 3 little dots next to your current them - Edit HTML
Select everything in this HTML box, and delete it.
Paste new code - Save
Alright now all your old links should be redirected.
And you’re all set!
