   Hi there,

   I just tried to migrate my blogger-blog to my self-hosted wordpress. Almost all things work as expected, but not the redirection from blogger. I inserted a logging function in the template code for the wordpress-sided interface and recognized that this page does not get any parameters from the blogger redirection. That means I simply get redirected to my home page.

   Is it possible that blogger changed variable names or something? Does anyone has an idea how I could fix that problem?

   Cheers, Marco

       @WPBEGINNER Support:

       First of all: It’s really nice that you’ve updated this article! I guess you help many users with that.

       Meanwhile I solved my problem, and wrote my solution in an email to Amit Agarwal, but he seems to be very busy.
       Since I come from Germany I don’t get „blogspot.com“-Domains in my Google search results, but „blogspot.de“. Others in German-speaking Europe get also different TLDs like „blogspot.at“ or „blogspot.ch“. That is a problem for the template code. I could fix that simply by changing these lines:

       $tld_fix = preg_replace("/blogspot\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+/", "blogspot.com", $old_url);                                                          
       $permalink = explode("blogspot.com", $tld_fix);
       

       With this fix it should work all around the world. Maybe you can implement it in your post; it might be useful for some people.

       Cheers, Marco

   Wouldn’t it be easier to use a plugin? Something like „CMS2CMS Blogger to WordPress Converter“ ? With this plugin, it is posible to migreta the content, the set up 301 redirect and keep all the visitors and ranking on a new WordPress site?

   Hi!

   The Blogger code doesn’t work today. I think the markup is obsolete because Blogger says the following by submitting the code from WP Beginner:

   „The value of attribute „dir“ associated with an element type „html“ must not contain the ‚<' character."

   I just replaced simple and double quotes and other ways to solve this, but is completely impossible. Does anyone know if Blogger has made related to the markup?

    (Previous comment did not include code… how can I do that?)

    Not sure if something has fundamentally changed with the blogger importer or how posts info is stored in the database; But the code above for the wpbeginner-blogger.php failed for almost all my links. I ended up changing it to this:

    <?php
     /*
      Template Name: Blogger Redirect (do not use)
     */
     global $wpdb;
     $old_url = $_GET['q'];
     if ($old_url != "") {
       $permalink = explode("blogspot.com.au", $old_url);
       
      $new_url = $permalink[1];
      header ("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
      header("Location: $new_url");
     }
     
    ?>
    

    Anyone see any reason this is bad? It seems to work perfectly, I’m still trying to figure out why it was done any other way to begin with… As long as you fix the permalinks to match the old blogger ones

    OK, I am sorry about the previous comment. I was using Switch hosts firefox plugin and I was browsing on my local copy. My website has not gone live yet. Though I have clicked on Go live button on Godaddy, and looks like DNS settings are updated, but my website has gone in an infinite loop and never loads. It loads the title, loads the favicon and I also see it loading chrome extensions like alexa and adblock, but then it refreshes and starts loading again. This never stops.

    Do you think it is the problem with DNS? or that I did not follow the tutorial properly? It has been already 11 hours since I updated the DNS. Both my domain and hosting is bought from Godaddy.

      Using an FTP client, connect to your website and download .htaccess file to your computer. Then delete the one on your live site. See if this resolves the issue. If it does, then this means there is nothing wrong with DNS settings of your website and it was probably a redirection issue. You may also contact your web host for support if this does not solve your issue.

    ok – I’ve been reuploading the text doc over and over and one thing that has changed is – I’m using a Mac and my doc is .rtf. When I take the .rtf off after the .php I get the line 16 error code but if I keep the.rtf on after the .php and I clink on any of my blogger posts it redirects to the Blogger page that I created for the redirect on my new website. Does that make sense? I don’t understand any of this php stuff so I don’t have any idea why it would do that just by adding or deleting the .rtf extension – but that’s what happens.

    I hope you have some idea of how I can fix this. It seems like it’s something pretty simple – I just don’t know what.

        You can manage your custom domain from the registrar website. Currently Blogger has stopped offering custom domain registration from the Blogger interface so most users need to purchase a domain from another registrar and then setup the domain to point to the Google servers. When moving this domain to a new web host you need to remove these settings from your domain control panel on the registrar’s website.

        1. First find out your domain registrar.
        2. Login to your domain registrar control panel.
        3. Remove CNAME and A record settings pointing to Google servers.
        4. Enter your new webhost’s settings into domain control panel.

        Most WordPress hosting providers offer detailed guides on how to move a domain name to point to their servers.

    For some users, all the blogspot posts might be redirected to the new blog homepage (and not the individual new post URL). This is because the original link is blogspot.in and not blogspot.com

    To fix this issue, add the following line of code after the link $permalink = explode(„blogspot.com“, $old_url);

    if(count($permalink) == 1) //we cant find blogspot.com in the URL lets try for blogspot.in

    This is a really great step-by-step tutorial. Unfortunately, I missed one of the wpbeginner.com links in the replacement template for my blogger site. It resulted in redirecting to your website, which then prompted Blogger to immediately mark my blog as SPAM.

    I fixed the template and now everything redirects correctly, but I had to request that my blog be reviewed or else it will be deleted in 22 days.

    I’m wondering if anyone else has ran into this issue and how the review process went? I used one of my test websites for this, so I won’t be incredibly disappointed if the original blogger site is deleted, but I did want to offer this warning to others. I recommend using CTRL-F to replace all occurrences of wpbeginner.com in the template.

    I just migrated a blog from blogger to WordPress but used a plugin to perform a similar task as above. I don’t like plugins and am thinking of deactivating it and doing this instead.

    Question though: One thing I found that did NOT work when I did this was that pages did not redirect. Posts redirected just fine with no problems at all (well, I did have to have my hosting provider whitelist mod security) but PAGES would not redirect at all (and, worse, not only would they not redirect, links pointing to old blogger pages would return a „page not found“ error).

    Before I deactivate the plugin I’m using, and go this route, I’m curious if this will work for pages….Any comment?

    I hope you are not quite aware of the fact that WP is much strong than Blogger platform.
    Keep up your great work.
    –
    I would rather say that instead of page template you can slowly move on to each post and use 301 redirect plugin for redirecting and making your blog independent of the old blogger’s template.

      Thanks Bro, Yeah After going through lots of Articles and Tutorials I discovered WordPress is the best Blogging Platform I have converted few of my Blogger Blog to The Self-Hosted WordPress Blog.

      Your Idea is Cool but if we have tons of Posts like 4000 posts, then redirecting would become stressful. This method is quite good, takes less time and gives perfect results.

    Hi Stephen,

    For step 4 how do you write “blogger” in the URL? Click on change permalinks? I did that and change the permalink to end with /blogger but still revert back to previous URL that end with ?page_id=149.

      Brother Create a New Page and Write The Title blogger, Choose WPbeginner from the Template Menu don’t Worry About the URL And Publish it, Now Open the Published Page Again From Your WordPress ADMIN PANEL and you will be able to See the URL beneath the Page Title, Just Click EDIT and rename it to /blogger and don’t Forget to UPDATE THE POST.

      Also Update your WordPress Permalink Go to WordPress Dashboard >> Settings >> Permalinks >> Custom Structure >> /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html.

    Hi. Have you tested that PageRank is preserved?

    The 301 is happening on your WordPress site, not your Blogger site. It is merely telling Google to use one of your WordPress pages instead of another one of your WordPress pages (and transfer PageRank between these).

    The 301 is not telling Google to use your WordPress site instead of your Blogger site, or to transfer any PageRank from your Blogger site to your WordPress one.

    You’re using JavaScript to move *users* from the Blogger site to the WordPress one, but there is no evidence that Google will treat this as a 301 and transfer any pagerank.

    A few years ago, the prevailing SEO wisdom would have been that Google couldn’t even crawl the JavaScript, so the Googlebot wouldn’t even go to the WordPress site. Googlebot can now execute some JavaScript, but still – what makes you think it will treat it as a 301?

    I’m not having a go at you personally, but this is the first I’ve heard of this (I can’t find anyone else in SEO circlet talking about this) and I’d be really interested in seeing the evidence that this works. Thanks.

      Hey Stephen,

      This is a guest post. However from the looks of the code, the canonical tags are the ones that should do the work.

        Okay, I missed that. That will probably work as well as anything. #mybad.
