How to import a blog from WordPress to Blogspot?

By 9 Comments

To keep the same blog on WordPress and Blogspot, export/import feature is most convenient tool. Follow these steps (divided into 3 parts):

WordPress:

  • Go to Dashboard
  • Look for Tools in the left sidebar
  • Choose the Export feature
  • You can apply filters to select a few post
  • If you want all the posts, do not apply filters
  • Click Download Export File
  • Save the XML file

 

 

Convert from WordPress to Blogspot: Though the downloaded file is XML and blogspot/blogger allows the import of XML file it will still give you the error “Sorry, the import failed due to a server error. The error code is bX-tjg9ds“. To successfully import the blog into blogspot I would suggest you to use an online tool on website If your wordpress file is less than 1 MB, it will convert the wordpress file to a file compatible with blogspot. (If you are still having trouble downloading the file, I would suggest to use Google Chrome instead of Firefox, I faced problem with Firefox). Save This new file.

 

Blogspot/Blogger: Similar steps to WordPress. Follow these steps:

  • Go to settings
  • Choose Import

 

 

 

  • Select the new file downloaded from http://wordpress2blogger.appspot.com/
  • Your blog is imported to blogspot
