There is way how to migrate blogger to WordPress.
I had to do it not long time ago.
First you need to export blogger blog and save it to you computer.
From blogger dashboard go to settings -> other on that page you have "back up content" button. After pressing you got popup window just hit "save to your computer.
Then from WordPress dash board or admin panel choose tools then import and choose blogger. You will need to install plugin and then probably repeat process.
Then you can upload content from blogger. Depending on size of your blog you will need to increase your maximum file upload limit.
To increase you have to change php.ini
Code:
upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M
max_execution_time = 300
Then setup permalinks you can choose blogger like permalink structure Month and Name.
To setup go to settings -> permalinks.
Check you WordPress blog if there is need for more settings.
After that you need to setup redirection go to blogger choose template, on that page scroll down find and click on
Revert to Classic Template link.
After switching go to "Edit template HTML" text are and replace all in there with following code.
Just replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title><$BlogPageTitle$></title>
<script>
<MainOrArchivePage>
window.location.href="http://yourdomain.com/"
</MainOrArchivePage>
<Blogger>
<ItemPage>
window.location.href="http://yourdomain.com/?blogger=<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>"
</ItemPage>
</Blogger>
</script>
<MainPage>
<link rel="canonical" href="http://yourdomain.com/" />
</MainPage>
<Blogger>
<ItemPage>
<link rel="canonical" href="http://yourdomain.com/?blogger=<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>" />
</ItemPage>
</Blogger>
</head>
<body>
<MainOrArchivePage>
<h1><a href="http://yourdomain.com/"><$BlogTitle$></a></h1>
</MainOrArchivePage>
<Blogger>
<ItemPage>
<h1><a href="http://yourdomain.com/?blogger=<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>"><$BlogItemTitle$></a></h1>
<$BlogItemBody$>
</ItemPage>
</Blogger>
</body>
</html>
Save template and you are done with blogger setup.
Now you need to setup WordPress redirection.
Open functions.php and enter next lines
Code:
function blogger_query_vars_filter( $vars ) {
$vars[] = "blogger";
return $vars;
}
add_filter('query_vars', 'blogger_query_vars_filter');
function blogger_template_redirect() {
global $wp_query;
$blogger = $wp_query->query_vars['blogger'];
if ( isset ( $blogger ) ) {
wp_redirect( get_wordpress_url ( $blogger ) , 301 );
exit;
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'blogger_template_redirect' );
function get_wordpress_url($blogger) {
if ( preg_match('@^(?:https?://)?([^/]+)(.*)@i', $blogger, $url_parts) ) {
$query = new WP_Query (
array ( "meta_key" => "blogger_permalink", "meta_value" => $url_parts[2] ) );
if ($query->have_posts()) {
$query->the_post();
$url = get_permalink();
}
wp_reset_postdata();
}
return $url ? $url : home_url();
}
or download and install plugin
blogger 301 redirect
Now if you have feeds redirect feed
You can do this by logging in to your Blogger account and then visit Settings » Other page under your blog dashboard.
Under the Site Feed section, click on Add link next to Post Feed Redirect URL. Here you can enter your new WordPress site's feed address
http://yourdomain.com/feed/
