Migrate from WordPress

Dashboard > Data > Import > WordPress

Superblog imports your posts over the WordPress JSON API, which is on by default on most WordPress sites. Up to 20,000 posts per import.

1. Go to Data, open Import, and click WordPress.
2. Enter your WordPress URL: the address of your WordPress installation, such as https://example.com.
3. Click Import posts.

The import runs in the background, usually for about 5 minutes. You get an email when it finishes. Then check your posts and deploy.

Before you import

1. Enter the installation address, not a page address. If WordPress is installed at example.com/blog, enter that.
2. Turn off table of contents plugins. Plugins such as Easy Table of Contents write a table into each post. Superblog makes its own, so your posts would show two. Superblog warns you if it detects one.
3. Check the JSON API is reachable. Open https://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts in your browser. If you see posts as text, it works. Security plugins and firewalls sometimes block it.

On the free trial, images keep loading from your old site until you upgrade and import again. See Images during the free trial.

After the import

1. Check a few posts for formatting, especially those built with page builders or shortcodes.
2. Point your domain to Superblog. See Connect your own domain.
