So, read the below provided steps to get clear understanding about shifting blogger website to WordPress website easily without any issue or error.
And I will show you how you can migrate blogger website to WordPress website and redirect your old blogger URL's to the new WordPress post and page URL's easily.
Backup Blogger posts
Mainly to backup blogger posts you need to first login to your blogger website dashboard and need to click on settings.
Now you need to scroll till down and search for the "Manage Blog" option and then under that you can find the "Back up content" option.
And now click on it and verify captcha and an xml file will be downloaded and save the file in a safe place for future use.
WordPress doesn’t recognize the Pages content so you need to copy your page content manually like the about, privacy and contact page and republish it in WordPress. Keep the URL slug same, you won’t lose the indexing in Google.
Now you have successfully downloaded the backup of your post contents, now you need to point your domain nameserver to the hosting provider and it is generally takes nearly 2 to 3 hours time or Maximum of 24 Hours to point the nameserver correctly.
After that you need to install a fresh copy of WordPress on that domain and login to dashboard.
Here you need to keep in mind that do not use www in the domain name while installing the WordPress website.
Import content from Blogger to WordPress
Basically to import the post contents in WordPress, you need to login to your WordPress website dashboard and click on the tools option and then import.
Now you need to click on "Install Now" just under the blogger and now you have to upload the XML file downloaded from blogger.
Now it will ask to assign the author details and then after your all blogger posts will be successfully imported from blogger website to your WordPress website.
Changing Permalink Structure
After importing of your post contents in WordPress, now you need to change your permalink structure to show the URL's clean and simple.
To change the permalink structure, go to settings and then click on permalink tab and now you need to select "Post Name" Option and then click on save changes.
Now you need to make the redirection, so that you will not lose your indexed posts in Google.
After successful redirection of your old URL's, they still works and you can get the organic traffic from google from your previous ranked posts.
Redirection from Blogger to WordPress
Mainly to redirect Blogger to WordPress, you need to install a plugin, here I am using "Rank Math Plugin" and then you have to follow the below procedure carefully.
Now you need to go to your WordPress Rank Math plugin dashboard and in the advanced tab you need to enable the redirection module.
Here you can see the redirection option under the rank math in your rank math plugin dashboard.
Now you need to create a redirection rule by clicking on the add new button in the dashboard, as show in below image.
Here you need to copy the below code and paste it in the Source URL and then select the Regex option in the right side and then check ignore case
([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([^/.]+).html$
Now in the destination URL paste /$3 and then you need to keep the redirection types as 301 Permanent Move and then activate the redirection.
Now all your old blogger URL's will be automatically redirect to the new Permalink structure, as we have setup in above steps and this is how we can migrate blogger to WordPress easily without losing any traffic and SEO.
Conclusion
I hope that you all have understood about migrating blogger website to WordPress website easily without losing any SEO and traffic.
