¿Quieres migrar tu blog de Blogger a WordPress?
Aunque Blogger es una excelente herramienta gratuita para empezar a bloguear, muchos principiantes pronto se dan cuenta de sus limitaciones y quieren pasarse a WordPress para acceder a características más potentes.
En este artículo, te mostraremos cómo cambiar correctamente de Blogger a WordPress sin perder posiciones en Google.
¿Por qué pasar de Blogger a WordPress?
Blogger es una popular plataforma de blogs creada por Google. Permite a cualquiera crear un blog gratuito utilizando su cuenta de Google.
Sin embargo, muchos principiantes pronto se dan cuenta de que hay muchas limitaciones en lo que pueden hacer con su blog gratuito de Blogger.
WordPress, en cambio, te da la propiedad completa de tu sitio web. También te permite añadir las características necesarias para hacer crecer tu blog y monetizar tu contenido. Además, puedes realizar todas las optimizaciones SEO necesarias para mejorar tu posicionamiento. Hemos creado una comparación detallada entre WordPress y Blogger.
Es importante tener en cuenta que cuando hablamos de WordPress, estamos hablando de WordPress.org autoalojado, que NO debe confundirse con WordPress.com, que es una solución de alojamiento que tiene sus propias limitaciones. Para más detalles, consulte nuestro artículo sobre la diferencia entre WordPress.com y WordPress.org.
WordPress.org es la popular plataforma “WordPress”, de la que probablemente haya oído hablar porque alimenta el 43% de todos los sitios web de Internet.
Dicho esto, vamos a ver cómo pasar correctamente de Blogger a WordPress sin perder la posición en las búsquedas de Google ni el tráfico del sitio web.
Estos son los pasos que seguiremos para pasar de Blogger a WordPress:
¿Preparados? Primeros pasos.
Tutorial en vídeo
Si no desea ver el tutorial en vídeo, puede seguir leyendo la versión en texto que figura a continuación.
Paso 1: Acceder al alojamiento de WordPress
Para empezar con WordPress, necesitará un nombre de dominio y alojamiento web.
A modo de recordatorio, el nombre de dominio es la dirección de tu sitio web que la gente teclea para llegar a tu blog, y el alojamiento web es donde se almacenan los archivos de tu sitio web. Ambos son IMPRESCINDIBLES para crear cualquier tipo de blog o sitio web.
Dicho esto, recomendamos utilizar Bluehost. Es una de las empresas de alojamiento más grandes del mundo y es un socio de alojamiento de WordPress recomendado oficialmente.
Debido a que WPBeginner es el mayor sitio de recursos de WordPress, han acordado ofrecer a nuestros lectores un nombre de dominio gratuito y un 60% de descuento en alojamiento. Básicamente, puedes empezar por sólo 2,75 dólares al mes.
Si, por alguna razón, usted prefiere ir con una alternativa Bluehost, entonces le recomendamos que utilice ya sea SiteGround o Hostinger porque ambos son excelentes soluciones.
Una vez que se haya suscrito al plan de alojamiento de WordPress y haya establecido su nombre de dominio, puede continuar con el paso de instalación de WordPress.
Si se ha accedido a Bluehost a través de nuestro enlace anterior, WordPress se instalará automáticamente.
Si ha utilizado un proveedor de alojamiento de WordPress diferente, deberá instalar WordPress siguiendo nuestra guía definitiva sobre cómo instalar WordPress.
Una vez instalado WordPress, es hora de trasladar su contenido de Blogger a WordPress.
Oferta adicional gratuita: Como muchos de vosotros nos lo habéis pedido, ahora ofrecemos un servicio gratuito de migración de Blogger a WordPress como parte de nuestro servicio gratuito de creación de blogs en WordPress. Esto significa que uno de los miembros de nuestro equipo de expertos hará toda la migración por ti (100% gratis). Sí, puedes cambiar literalmente de Blogger a WordPress sin ningún riesgo.
Nota: Nuestro servicio gratuito de migración de blogger es para blogs pequeños que tengan menos de 1000 entradas. Podemos ofrecer un servicio de migración para sitios de blogger más grandes, pero será un servicio de pago.
Sin embargo, si te gusta aprender y hacer las cosas por ti mismo, puedes seguir nuestro tutorial paso a paso.
Paso 1: Exporta tu blog de Blogger
Lo primero que tienes que hacer es exportar el contenido de tu blog de Blogger.
Para ello, visite el sitio web de Blogger y acceda al tablero de su cuenta.
Después, ve a la página de ajustes. Desplázate hasta la sección “Gestionar blog” y haz clic en el botón “Copia de seguridad del contenido”.
Aparecerá un mensaje / ventana emergente mostrando qué se incluye exactamente en la copia de seguridad de Blogger.
Debe hacer clic en el botón “Descargar” para continuar.
El contenido de tu blog de Blogger se descargará en tu ordenador en un archivo XML.
Una vez finalizada la descarga, es hora de importar el contenido de Blogger a tu sitio de WordPress.
Paso 2: Importar Blogger a WordPress
Para empezar a importar tu sitio de Blogger a WordPress, accede a tu área de administrador de WordPress y visita Herramientas ” Importar.
En la página de importación, haz clic en el enlace “Instalar ahora” que aparece debajo de Blogger.
WordPress descargará e instalará el plugin Blogger Importer.
Cuando termine de instalarse, haga clic en el enlace “Ejecutar importador” para continuar.
WordPress le pedirá que suba el archivo XML en la pantalla Importar Blogger. Este es el archivo que descargaste en el Paso 1.
Simplemente haga clic en el botón “Elegir archivo” y suba el archivo XML que descargó anteriormente.
A continuación, haga clic en el botón “Subir archivo e importar” para continuar.
WordPress subirá el archivo de importación. Si el archivo de importación es demasiado grande, es posible que aparezca un mensaje de error.
En este caso, deberá aumentar el límite máximo de subida de archivos. Si el archivo es pequeño, no se producirá ningún error.
A continuación, se te pedirá que asignes entradas a un autor. Si tienes varios autores en tu blog de Blogger, puedes crear una nueva cuenta de usuario para cada autor. También puedes asignar estas entradas a autores existentes en tu sitio web WordPress.
Después de hacer su selección, haga clic en el botón “Enviar” para continuar.
WordPress importará todo el contenido del archivo de exportación de Blogger a tu sitio WordPress. Puedes ver el contenido visitando la página Entradas ” Todas las entradas.
Paso 3: Establecer Enlaces permanentes
Enlaces permanentes es el término utilizado para la estructura de URL de páginas individuales. WordPress viene con una característica que le permite establecer una estructura de URL SEO-friendly.
Como estás importando contenido de Blogger, necesitas que la estructura de URL sea lo más parecida posible a la de tu antiguo sitio de Blogger.
Para establecer enlaces permanentes, debe ir a Ajustes ” Enlaces permanentes en su escritorio de WordPress y elegir la opción “Estructura personalizada”.
A continuación, deberá añadir el siguiente texto en la casilla situada junto al campo de estructura personalizada:
/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html
Esta estructura de enlaces permanentes hace que las URL de las entradas de tu blog sean similares a las URL de tu antiguo blog de Blogger.
Sin embargo, a veces la URL de la entrada de tu blog, también conocida como slug en WordPress, no coincide con los slugs utilizados por Blogger.
Para corregirlo, tendrá que crear y ejecutar un pequeño fragmento de código.
Recomendamos añadir este código PHP usando el plugin WPCode. Es la forma más segura de añadir código personalizado a su sitio web WordPress. Para más detalles, consulte nuestra guía sobre cómo copiar y pegar fragmentos de código en WordPress.
add_action( 'init', 'wpb_update_slug' );
function wpb_update_slug() {
global $wpdb;
$result = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT post_id, meta_value FROM $wpdb->postmeta WHERE meta_key = 'blogger_permalink' ");
$wpdb->print_error();
foreach ($result as $row){
$slug = explode("/",$row->meta_value);
$slug = explode(".",$slug[3]);
$wpdb->query("UPDATE $wpdb->posts SET post_name ='$slug[0]' WHERE ID = '$row->post_id' ");
}
echo "DONE";
}
Después de guardar el código, sólo tiene que visitar cualquier página de su sitio WordPress para activar este script.
Importante: Después de que el script se haya ejecutado, no olvides desactivarlo o borrarlo de tu biblioteca WPCode porque solo necesita ejecutarse una vez.
Oferta gratuita de bonificación: ¿No quiere lidiar con códigos? Lo tenemos cubierto. Como muchos de vosotros nos lo habéis pedido, ahora ofrecemos un servicio gratuito de migración de Blogger a WordPress como parte de nuestro servicio gratuito de creación de blogs en WordPress.
Esto significa que uno de los miembros de nuestro equipo de expertos realizará toda la migración por ti (100% gratis). Sí, puedes cambiar literalmente de Blogger a WordPress sin ningún riesgo.
Paso 4: Establecer las redirecciones de Blogger a WordPress
El paso más importante a la hora de trasladar cualquier sitio web es establecer la redirección adecuada para no perder el tráfico existente ni las clasificaciones SEO.
Nota: Si tu blog de Blogger tiene su propio dominio personalizado en lugar de blogspot.com, puede que tengas que apuntar los servidores de nombres de tu dominio a tu proveedor de alojamiento. Para obtener instrucciones, sigue nuestro tutorial sobre cómo cambiar el dominio personalizado de blogger a WordPress.
La parte crucial de la redirección es garantizar que sus usuarios aterricen en la misma página del nuevo dominio a la que intentaban acceder en el sitio antiguo.
Al mismo tiempo, también debe asegurarse de que los motores de búsqueda entienden que su sitio web se ha trasladado a esta nueva ubicación.
Para ello, debes instalar y activar el plugin Blogger to WordPress Redirection. Para más detalles, consulta nuestra guía paso a paso sobre cómo instalar un plugin de WordPress.
Una vez activado, debe visitar la página Herramientas ” Redirección de Blogger a WordPress y hacer clic en el botón “Iniciar configuración”.
El plugin detectará ahora la URL de tu blog de Blogger y te mostrará la opción de obtener un código de redirección. Sigue adelante y haz clic en el botón ‘Obtener código’ al lado de tu URL de Blogger.
Ahora generará un fragmento de código que necesitas para redirigir correctamente a los usuarios de tu antiguo blog de Blogger a tu nuevo sitio de WordPress.
A continuación, tienes que acceder a tu Escritorio de Blogger e ir a la página “Temas”. Haz clic en la flecha desplegable del botón “Personalizar” situado junto a tu tema y, a continuación, selecciona la opción “Editar HTML”.
Blogger mostrará ahora el código HTML personalizado para la plantilla de tu tema. Si has personalizado el tema de Blogger, puedes copiar el código y guardarlo en tu ordenador como copia de seguridad.
Si no, puedes borrarlo todo. A continuación, copia el código que muestra el plugin en tu sitio de WordPress y pégalo en el editor de temas de Blogger.
No olvides hacer clic en el botón “Guardar tema” para guardar los cambios.
A continuación, tenemos que establecer las redirecciones para los usuarios móviles.
Tienes que volver a la página Temas del Escritorio de tu blog de Blogger. Esta vez tienes que hacer clic en el botón de engranaje debajo de la vista previa móvil de tu blog.
Aparecerá una ventana emergente en la que deberás seleccionar la opción “No. Mostrar tema de escritorio en dispositivos móviles”.
A continuación, haz clic en el botón “Guardar”.
Eso es todo, tu blog de Blogger ahora redirigirá a todos los visitantes de tu blog a tu nuevo blog de WordPress.
También puedes utilizar All in One SEO (AIOSEO) para redirigir entradas y páginas de Blogger a WordPress. El plugin ofrece una potente característica de gestión de redireccionamientos que te permite establecer redireccionamientos completos del sitio a tu nuevo sitio.
Además, puede activar el seguimiento de errores 404 y detectar cualquier enlace roto que pueda producirse al trasladar su sitio a WordPress. Esto ayudará a mejorar la experiencia del usuario y no perderás posiciones en el ranking de palabras clave.
Paso 5: Trasladar otros contenidos de Blogger a WordPress
En este paso, trasladaremos el contenido restante del antiguo blog de Blogger a tu nuevo blog de WordPress. Esto puede requerir algo de trabajo manual, dependiendo de los ajustes / contenido de su blog.
1. Trasladar páginas de Blogger a WordPress
La herramienta de importación de Blogger de WordPress solo importa entradas de Blogger e ignora las páginas.
Para trasladar tus páginas a WordPress, tendrás que editar cada página en tu blog de Blogger, copiar su contenido y, a continuación, crear manualmente una página en WordPress.
Para saber más acerca de las páginas, consulte nuestro artículo sobre la diferencia entre entradas y páginas en WordPress.
Ahora, te encontrarás con otro problema / conflicto / incidencia. Las páginas de Blogger tienen URL con este aspecto:
http://example.blogspot.com/p/about-us.html
La URL de su página de WordPress tendrá este aspecto:
http://example.com/about-us
Para corregir esto, necesitará utilizar el plugin All in One SEO (AIOSEO). Para obtener instrucciones, consulta nuestra guía para principiantes sobre cómo crear redireccionamientos en WordPress.
2. Widgets
Al igual que Blogger, algunos temas de WordPress también utilizan widgets para añadir contenido a la barra lateral de tu blog.
Para añadir widgets, debe visitar la página Apariencia ” Widgets en su escritorio de WordPress y simplemente arrastrar y soltar los widgets en las barras laterales. Para obtener instrucciones detalladas, consulte nuestra guía sobre cómo añadir y utilizar widgets en WordPress.
Si estás buscando un widget específico que no ves en WordPress por defecto, entonces es probable que necesites un plugin de WordPress. Puedes buscar en la categoría de mejores plugins de WordPress de WPBeginner para encontrar la funcionalidad que buscas.
3. Feeds RSS
Los motores de búsqueda y los usuarios que se suscriban a las entradas de su blog a través de feeds RSS podrán seguir encontrándolo. Sin embargo, no recibirán ningún contenido nuevo.
Para corregirlo, visita la página de ajustes de tu cuenta de Blogger. A continuación, desplázate hasta la sección “Site feed” y haz clic en “Post feed redirect URL”.
Aparecerá una ventana emergente en la que deberá añadir la URL del feed RSS de su sitio web WordPress.
La URL de su feed de WordPress tendrá este aspecto:
http://example.com/feed
No olvide sustituir ejemplo.com por su propio nombre de dominio.
Haga clic en el botón “Guardar” para añadir la URL y establecer los ajustes.
Paso 6. Cosas que hacer después de migrar de Blogger a WordPress
Ahora que has trasladado correctamente tu blog de Blogger a WordPress, veamos qué más puedes hacer para mejorar tu blog.
Hemos creado una lista de las cosas más importantes que debe hacer después de instalar WordPress.

Hi!
Really nice tutorial! Plus I’m already subscribed to your newsletter!
I did a migration in local just to test how my blog would look like and what issues I will face on the migration. One that I encountered is that all my internal links written on the posts are broken. My links on Blogger look like: example.com/2023/12/.html and the WP look like this: example.com/2023/12/21/.
Do you know how I can prevent this behaviour or fix the issue after the migration?
Thank you very much!
WPBeginner Support says
You would want to use the permalink step in this article to fix your permalink issues.
Administrador
Ger says
Thanks for the quick answer!
I think you didn’t understand my question, probably because of my poor explanation.
I already used the permalink and it is working fine for changing the urls of the posts, BUT in this case I mean the internal links written inside the post content are linking to the wrong urls.
I already managed to fix it. Before running the blogger importer plugin you must adapt the permalinks to Blogger structure, not afterwards. This way al the internal links written on the post’s content will be correct.
Best,
Peter Iriogbe says
Thanks for the post. I want to ask; after the migration, will my blog content need to be indexed again by search engines or everything will still be intact with search engines?
WPBeginner Support says
The redirects will keep the pages indexed so everything will still be intact from their point of view.

EMMANUEL AMADI says
I did the whole process some years ago and it worked. I recently noticed my traffic on wordpress doping and checked to notice that blogger posts now only redirect to my wordpress homepage. I ran the Blogger to WordPress Redirect Plugin Start Configuration again, which gave me a code snipet to paste on my blogger theme HTML. Sadly this time, the blogger blog theme refused to save the code snipet and the entire redirection no longer works. Please what do I do to restore the entire redirect setup…?
WPBeginner Support says
If it is not saving on Blogger then you would need to check with Blogger’s support to have it save properly.

in blogger i have always used my custom domain. so i Don’t have to worry about blogger redirection.
but my question is how can i make sure that my posts redirect to new wp permalink? cause blogger have /year/month/permalink.html while i wants to use /post-name permalink structure.
WPBeginner Support says
The redirection steps from our guide should cover setting up those redirects

Lem Enrile says
Thank you so much, WPBeginner, for this detailed tutorial.
I’ve been searching and experimenting for half a day on how to redirect my free Blogger website into a recently purchased domain (with WordPress as platform).
I’ve watched and read countless blogs and Youtube tutorials. But none explained how to redirect “each” Blogger post to its equivalent new domain URL. I’m glad I found this.
The only problem I encountered is that the generated code from your plugin doesn’t seem to work with Blogger websites that have “customized” themes.
Even if I deleted all the existing code to paste your plugin’s generated code, it said, “Update Failed.”
I thought that my Blogger website’s “customized theme” prevented me from “saving” the generated code.
So I changed my Blogger theme to one of Blogger’s “default” theme templates, specifically the Dynamic Classic Theme.
I then pasted the generated code from your plugin, then it worked!
WPBeginner Support says
Thank you for sharing this for anyone who may be having this issue!

There is normally more to that error message but you would want to ensure your site is using HTTPS for the most common reason.

Jim Tolles says
Hi! Thanks for the useful content, although I have some questions. I’m not understanding why you would put any code on the old blogger site, which I will take down once the migration is complete. Shouldn’t the live site on WordPress be doing all the redirection?
Additionally, this post needs to be updated as some of the Blogger regions that are mentioned are no longer in the Blogger console.
WPBeginner Support says
It is mainly for if users have links to the version of your site with Blogger’s URL instead of your custom domain as you are not allowed to transfer a subdomain to a new host.
We’ll be sure to update our Blogger section the next time we update our article
Administrador
Jim Tolles says
Gotcha. Yes. I have a custom domain. I’m trying to figure out how to make sure to get everything pointed in the right direction.
WPBeginner Support says
Understood, then this will ensure if anyone visits your Blogger site it will be redirected to the new site with the correct URL
P Mohapatra says
I was earlier using blogger and now I have sifted to wordpress. But the faviocon of blogger is still showing in search console. How to solve this.

You would want to either ask the search engine to recrawl your site, or you would need to wait for the search engine to clear its cache and update your favicon.

Amit Singh says
This was very helpful, I have successfully redirect my blogger links to wordpress. But when I was using blogger, I used to create custom permalink in it and then after changing from blogger to wordpress, the whole link changed. And also many pages of the new website got indexed in Google. Means, both blogger and new websites links are indexed on Google with same contents. This create many issues like content duplicate and page duplicate. How to solve them.
WPBeginner Support says
You would want to be sure you follow our steps to set up redirects and that would point your old content to the new content which will prevent your duplicate content issues.

Emily Cowe says
Hey! This was a great tutorial, but I have 1 question – is it required to change the permalink structure on WordPress to redirect the links?

I’ve almost 1300 posts in by Blogger blog and when I try to import all my posts to my WordPress site by following all the given instructions, Happens nothing. not a single post getting imported. Can any one suggest me a solution.

You would first want to check in your media library to see if the images are being imported and if they are you would want to run the import again as it is likely timing out and when you run the import again it should skip what has already been imported.

The plugin is to help with redirects from the blogspot URL, if you disable the plugin then those redirects can break. Your other redirects should be fine with how the plugin is currently set up.

Hi! I’ve already migrated from Blogger to WordPress thanks to your tutorial. But I’m planning to apply for Adsense, so if I delete or unpublish my old blogger blog, does that mean all the redirects will stop and whatever content has been imported will also be deleted? Even though it was uploaded externally.
Just wondering, would be great if you could help me out with this! Thank you!

You would want to check with the plugin’s support for questions like this. You shouldn’t lose content on the WordPress.org site but there may be trouble with redirects.

Hi, Thank you so much for all this helpful information. I have a simple question.
So if you don’t have any Google standing yet nor any subscribers would you then just copy and paste all of your blog posts over and skip the other part or is it best to complete the whole procedure as described? Also, when I was watching the video I didn’t see any point where the person chose their theme. Don’t you need to do that before you transfer posts over? Thank you!
WPBeginner Support says
If you are not worried about your site or your current ranking then you certainly can copy your content over if you wanted rather than following our guide.
There is a default theme installed that you can change, you don’t need to select your theme before transferring but it can be helpful.

Thanks for your post. But i am new on wp. I used blogger for a long time and i published 399 articles on it. When i want to import all blogger posts on wordpress. Its said that Sorry, there has been an error. File is empty. Please upload something more substantial.
But i have a right file and upload it.
Please give me a idea that how can i rid from it?
WPBeginner Support says
It is hard to say, if the file is correct, you would want to try increasing the file upload size. We have a guide on how to do this below:

Once I customize my permalinks, I get this message: Remove write access on web.config file now! What do I need to do to the web.config file to prevent over write?
WPBeginner Support says
That is normally a permissions error. You can try resaving your permalinks, otherwise, you would want to reach out to your hosting provider for assistance.

Pls I would prefer to not create the same permalink structure with migration, as I don’t want dates in the url.
Is there another way to deal with the concern regarding 404’s, since I don’t want the same urls with dates?. I need only: mysite.com/post-link-here
WPBeginner Support says
You would need to manually create the redirects for each post to do what it sounds like you’re wanting.

while importing the blogger content of file size 31MB, after uploading 100%, it shows an error, There has been a critical error on your website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”

Is there an issue with the functions.php code. Using the WordPress editor, it won’t let me save citing issues in the code.
WPBeginner Support says
If the error is WordPress can’t safely test the code then you can use your host’s file manager or FTP to get around that. We have a guide on FTP below and the error is WordPress attempting to warn users to be cautious about adding code to files through the WordPress editor.

I am thinking to move my blogger site on WordPress. But I have a question on my mind. Assume, I followed the entire tutorial and set up everything as given. In this way, we set our link as “www.domain.com/year/month/abc”. if I set this structure on WordPress, will my future posts will follow the same structure or I can manage future post URL in this way- “www.domain.com/abc” ?
WPBeginner Support says
If you change the url structure to remove the date you would manually need to create redirects for all of your current posts sadly.

Thank you for this.
Then overall can I say that it will be all okay in future if I am starting a blog on blogger and I will not face any issues further in terms of transfer everything from blogger to WordPress?
WPBeginner Support says
It would depend on what you add and if Blogger changes what is possible to export sadly.

I’m a beginner in blogging platform. Till now my website have been seen yet approx 2k, and now after knowledge of some bedrock of Blogger I want to migrate my Blog into WordPress. My query is that can I loose all the 2k views data while I migrate to WordPress?
Please help me out.
WPBeginner Support says
It would depend on what you mean, you shouldn’t have to worry about your previous views and as long as you set up the redirect you shouldn’t lose visitors.
