Blogger is the first platform that maximum Bloggers use to create their website and I believe everyone should, because it is very simple and you can even customise your website with professional looking templates and gadgets but at 0 expenditure. But as soon as the Website becomes prominent and receives a good amount of traffic the Authors think of moving to WordPress as it provides more professional tools and more scope of customization. But there still lies the problem that I told you before and so many remain with blogger even if they could afford WordPress.
Now without wasting anymore time I will tell you the secret process by which you can easily move from Blogger to WordPress without loosing your traffic,subscribers and rankings.
How To Move From Blogger To WordPress -
To move from Blogger To WordPress follow the simple steps given below.
1. First Make a Backup copy of your Blog on Blogger.
2. Register a new domain in any hosting providers like GoDaddy or BigRock and install the Wordpress Plugin in it.
3. Then After setting up WordPress go to Admin Dashboard, under Tools option click on Import and select Blogger option.
4. Blogger will ask for authorization, authorize WordPress to access your Blogger account and select the Blogger Blog that you want to import.
5. After the import is complete all your blogger post will appear on your Wordpress site.
6. Open Your WordPress theme editor present under Appearance and open functions.php and copy the following code in it and Click On Update. Paste this code at the top and not in the end.
<?php
function labnol_blogger_query_vars_filter( $vars ) {
$vars[] = "blogger";
return $vars;
}
add_filter('query_vars', 'labnol_blogger_query_vars_filter');
function labnol_blogger_template_redirect() {
global $wp_query;
$blogger = $wp_query->query_vars['blogger'];
if ( isset ( $blogger ) ) {
wp_redirect( labnol_get_wordpress_url ( $blogger ) , 301 );
exit;
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'labnol_blogger_template_redirect' );
function labnol_get_wordpress_url($blogger_slug) {
global $wpdb;
if ( preg_match('@^(?:https?://)?([^/]+)(.*)@i', $blogger_slug, $matches) ) {
$q = "SELECT guid FROM $wpdb->posts LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta
ON ($wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->postmeta.post_id)
WHERE $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key='blogger_permalink'
AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value='$matches[2]'";
$wp_url = $wpdb->get_var($q);
}
return $wp_url ? $wp_url : home_url();
}
?>
<?php
function labnol_blogger_query_vars_filter( $vars ) {
$vars[] = "blogger";
return $vars;
}
add_filter('query_vars', 'labnol_blogger_query_vars_filter');
function labnol_blogger_template_redirect() {
global $wp_query;
$blogger = $wp_query->query_vars['blogger'];
if ( isset ( $blogger ) ) {
wp_redirect( labnol_get_wordpress_url ( $blogger ) , 301 );
exit;
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'labnol_blogger_template_redirect' );
function labnol_get_wordpress_url($blogger_slug) {
global $wpdb;
if ( preg_match('@^(?:https?://)?([^/]+)(.*)@i', $blogger_slug, $matches) ) {
$q = "SELECT guid FROM $wpdb->posts LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta
ON ($wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->postmeta.post_id)
WHERE $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key='blogger_permalink'
AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value='$matches[2]'";
$wp_url = $wpdb->get_var($q);
}
return $wp_url ? $wp_url : home_url();
}
?>
7. After saving Everything go to your Blogger Dashboard and choose the Template option of your blog.
8. In the Template Option scroll down to " Revert To Classic Template" option and click on it .
9. Copy and Paste the following code in the Blogger Template Editor, but before doing that change all the "websdevil.blogspot.in" with your New WORDPRESS Site URL. After Pasting it Save the Template.
<html>10. After Saving the template open your old blogger blog with the blogger URL and you would surely be redirected to your new WordPress Blog. And I believe that all your Page rankings and traffic will also be transferred to your new WordPress Blog, but it may take some time.
