Move a Blogger site to WordPress
Blogger Importer Extended Unlimited is designed for transferring Blogger content into WordPress. The Unlimited edition removes the free import limit and lets you import an unlimited amount of posts, pages, comments, images, labels, and authors. It is intended for larger migrations as well as site owners who want the complete content transfer available through the plugin.
The importer can bring published posts and pages into WordPress together with their associated tags or labels, comments, images, and authors. It can also preserve post and page links, helping maintain the existing structure of a Blogger site after the move. Draft and scheduled posts are not imported.
Migration and SEO options
Moving a blog involves more than copying written content. Blogger Importer Extended includes options that address links, image content, and formatting during the migration process.
- 301 redirects: Set up all required redirects from old Blogger links to their WordPress destinations.
- Link cleanup: Automatically remove “?m=1” from old Blogger links.
- Mixed-content correction: Convert http links to https.
- Spam-comment filtering: Filter spam comments, which can be useful for SEO.
- Native lazy-loading: Enable native lazy-loading for blog post images to help speed up page loading times.
- WordPress formatting: Convert post content formatting to match WordPress standards.
These settings let you choose how imported material should be prepared instead of treating the migration as a simple content dump. You can also select extra options for SEO and content formatting as part of the import process.
Suitable for larger content archives
The Unlimited edition is useful when a Blogger site contains more than 20 blog posts or pages. The importer is described as capable of handling any number of posts, including very large archives. This makes it suitable for long-running personal blogs, editorial sites, and company blog transitions that need to move a substantial history of content.
Unlike the free version’s handling of additional images, the Unlimited edition imports all content into WordPress unless you choose to exclude it. This includes the available posts, pages, comments, images, labels, and authors covered by the migration. Preserving these elements can reduce the amount of manual reconstruction needed after the transfer.
Practical migration workflow
Before starting, review the Blogger archive and decide which content and optional processing settings you want to use. Run the import for the published posts and pages, including the related comments, images, labels, and authors. Then review the imported content in WordPress, check links and formatting, and confirm that the redirect setup reflects the old Blogger URLs.
Installation
Install Blogger Importer Extended in WordPress and use its import workflow to transfer the Blogger site. Select the content and additional SEO or formatting options required for the project, then review the resulting posts, pages, media, comments, labels, authors, and redirects in WordPress.
