Tutorial em vídeo do Weebly para WordPress
Se você não gosta de tutoriais em vídeo ou deseja seguir seu próprio ritmo, continue lendo as instruções abaixo.
Etapa 1: Primeiros passos
Para iniciar um blog no WordPress, você precisa de duas coisas:
- Um nome de domínio (esse é o nome de seu blog, por exemplo, wpbeginner.com)
- Uma conta de hospedagem na Web (é onde seu site fica na Internet)
Embora o WordPress em si seja gratuito, o domínio e a hospedagem na Web têm um custo (US$ 14,99 / ano para o domínio e US$ 7,99 / mês para a hospedagem na Web).
Felizmente, a Bluehost, um provedor de hospedagem oficial recomendado pelo WordPress, concordou em oferecer aos nossos usuários um nome de domínio gratuito e mais de 73% de desconto em hospedagem na Web.
Se, por algum motivo, você quiser outras opções, consulte nossa lista das melhores empresas de hospedagem WordPress.
Depois de configurar seu domínio e hospedagem, a próxima etapa é instalar o WordPress. Temos um guia passo a passo sobre como instalar o WordPress.
Depois de concluir a instalação do WordPress, você estará pronto para passar para a próxima etapa, que é transferir o conteúdo do Weebly para o WordPress.
Etapa 2: Exportar conteúdo de seu site da Weebly
No passado, era muito difícil para os usuários migrarem do Weebly para o WordPress porque não era fácil exportar dados do Weebly.
Decidimos resolver esse problema e desenvolvemos um importador gratuito do Weebly para o WordPress.
É uma ferramenta on-line gratuita que importa seu conteúdo do Weebly e o converte em um formato de importação compatível com o WordPress. Ela não faz nenhuma alteração em seu site existente do Weebly, portanto, é perfeitamente segura de usar.
Acesse o site do importador do Weebly para WordPress e insira o URL do seu site do Weebly.
Será solicitado que você forneça seu nome, endereço de e-mail e selecione um formato de exportação.
A opção padrão é o formato WXR, e você não deve alterá-la, a menos que tenha um problema mais tarde.
Em seguida, você precisa escolher se deseja incluir páginas em seu arquivo de exportação. A opção padrão é “Yes” (Sim), e você não precisa alterar isso, a menos que realmente não queira exportar as páginas do Weebly.
Depois disso, você precisa clicar no botão “Export my Weebly Website”.
O importador do Weebly para WordPress agora buscará o conteúdo do seu site do Weebly e o converterá em um arquivo de exportação compatível com o WordPress.
Você verá um botão para baixar seu arquivo de exportação do Weebly. Você precisa clicar com o botão direito do mouse nele e selecionar “Salvar link como” no menu.
Isso fará o download do arquivo export.xml para seu computador.
Etapa 3: Importar o conteúdo do Weebly para o WordPress
Agora que você tem o conteúdo do Weebly em um formato compatível com o WordPress, é hora de importá-lo para o WordPress.
Faça login na sua área de administração e vá para a página Ferramentas ” Importar.
Você verá uma lista de importadores disponíveis para diferentes plataformas. Você precisa rolar para baixo até o WordPress e clicar no link “Install Now” (Instalar agora).
O WordPress agora buscará o plug-in do importador e o instalará em seu site WordPress sem recarregar a página.
Depois de instalado, você precisa clicar em “Run Importer” (Executar importador) para iniciá-lo.
Isso o levará à página do importador do WordPress. Vá em frente e clique no botão “Choose file” (Escolher arquivo) para selecionar o arquivo export.xml que você baixou anteriormente.
Em seguida, clique no botão “Upload file and import” (Carregar arquivo e importar) para continuar.
O importador do WordPress agora carregará seu arquivo de exportação e o analisará. Na próxima tela, ele solicitará que você atribua autores.
Você pode importar um autor do seu site do Weebly, criar um novo autor ou atribuir todo o conteúdo ao seu usuário existente do WordPress.
Não se esqueça de marcar a caixa ao lado da opção “Baixar e importar anexos de arquivos”. Ela buscará imagens do seu site do Weebly na biblioteca de mídia do WordPress para que você possa usá-las posteriormente.
Agora você pode clicar no botão “Submit” (Enviar) para executar o importador. O WordPress agora importará o conteúdo do arquivo de exportação para o banco de dados do WordPress. Ele também tentará buscar imagens vinculadas aos posts e páginas de seu blog no Weebly.
Após a conclusão, você verá uma mensagem de sucesso.
Parabéns, você importou com êxito o conteúdo do seu blog do Weebly para o WordPress. Agora você pode acessar posts, páginas e categorias na área de administração do WordPress para ver se todo o seu conteúdo está lá. Além disso, verifique a biblioteca de mídia para ver as imagens importadas do seu site do Weebly.
Se o processo de importação falhar no meio, você sempre poderá executá-lo novamente. O importador é inteligente o suficiente para detectar conteúdo duplicado e ignorá-lo. Ele importará somente o conteúdo que não foi importado com êxito na tentativa anterior.
Etapa 4: Configuração de redirecionamentos
Se você estava usando um domínio personalizado em seu site do Weebly (como yoursite.com), precisará apontá-lo para o seu provedor de hospedagem do WordPress.
Primeiro, você precisa fazer login na sua conta do Weebly e ir para a página Domínios. Clique no nome de domínio que você deseja editar e, na página Domain Settings (Configurações do domínio), clique no botão “Change” (Alterar) ao lado da opção Nameservers (Servidores de nomes).
Na próxima tela, você precisa inserir os servidores de nomes do seu novo host do WordPress. No caso da Bluehost, esses são ns1.bluehost.com e ns2.bluehost.com.
Clique no botão “Save” (Salvar) para armazenar suas configurações.
As alterações no servidor de nomes podem levar algum tempo para se propagar pela Internet. Quando as alterações entrarem em vigor, os visitantes começarão a ver seu site WordPress.
Se você estiver usando um URL de subdomínio no seu site do Weebly (como http://example.weebly.com), veja como configurar o redirecionamento.
Faça login no painel de controle do Weebly e edite seu site. Em seguida, você precisa clicar em Settings (Configurações) e depois na guia SEO.
Agora, role para baixo até a opção de código de cabeçalho e adicione esta linha de código:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.yourdomain.com/">
Substitua yourdomain.com pelo nome de domínio de seu novo site WordPress.
Não se esqueça de clicar nos botões “Salvar” e “Publicar” para salvar suas alterações.
Agora você pode visitar seu site do Weebly, que será atualizado e redirecionado para seu site do WordPress.
Etapa 5: Configuração de Permalinks
Seu site do Weebly pode ter uma estrutura de URL diferente para posts e páginas de blog. Normalmente, é algo parecido com isto:
Para postagens de blog: http://example.com/blog/your-post-title/
Para páginas: http://example.com/page-title.html
Se você estava usando um domínio personalizado no seu site do Weebly, os usuários que visitarem uma postagem no seu antigo blog do Weebly verão um erro 404.
Veja como você pode garantir que os usuários sejam redirecionados para a publicação correta.
Você precisará acessar a página Configurações ” Permalinks. Role a tela para baixo e selecione a opção “Estrutura personalizada” e, em seguida, adicione /blog/%postname% no campo de texto ao lado.
Não se esqueça de clicar no botão “Salvar alterações” para atualizar seus permalinks.
Agora, você precisa adicionar .html no final dos URLs de suas páginas do WordPress.
Você precisará instalar e ativar o plug-in Add Any Extension to Pages. Para obter mais detalhes, consulte nosso guia passo a passo sobre como instalar um plug-in do WordPress.
Após a ativação, você precisa acessar Settings ” Add Any Extension to Pages. Basta digitar .html nas configurações do plug-in e clicar no botão “Update Settings” (Atualizar configurações).
Agora você precisa visitar a página Configurações ” Permalinks e clicar no botão salvar alterações para atualizar sua estrutura de permalink.
Etapa 6: Solução de problemas
Aqui estão algumas coisas que você pode precisar depois de transferir seu site do Weebly para o WordPress.
1. Importação ou substituição de imagens
O WordPress tentará importar imagens do seu site do Weebly para o WordPress durante a importação. No entanto, se suas imagens não forem baixadas para a biblioteca de mídia, será necessário importá-las. Consulte nosso guia sobre como importar imagens externas no WordPress para obter instruções detalhadas passo a passo.
2. Correção de erros no WordPress
Se estiver vendo alguns erros no seu site WordPress após a transferência, consulte nosso guia definitivo sobre erros comuns do WordPress e como corrigi-los.
3. Coisas a fazer após a instalação do WordPress
Se tudo correr bem, você estará pronto para personalizar seu novo site e aproveitar a enorme flexibilidade do WordPress. Veja nossa lista de coisas importantes a fazer após a instalação do WordPress.

Any tips on exporting pages that are visible only to certain members or member groups in Weebly? There are about 100 I need to move over to WordPress but they are not visible unless viewed by a logged in member who has access to those pages.
WPBeginner Support says
The export file should include any hidden pages unless Weebly has changed their export rules.

Helpful. If I’m transfering my domain from Weebly to create a new WP site through BlueHost, do I need to wait for the domain transfer to complete fully (could take 3-10 days) before completing the steps provided? TIA.
WPBeginner Support says
You can create a site on a temporary domain on BlueHost and once your domain is transferred you can update the domain. That would allow you to start working on it before the transfer is complete.

I’m pretty much the novice blogger verbatim who started on Weebly and wants to move over to WordPress. This blog was super helpful in transferring media, text, and most content from blog posts and pages on my Weebly blog. I, too, received the error from their exporter:
“Could not find any content in your weebly blog to export. Did you enter the correct URL? Go Back”
I was able to get one complete export.xml file in a handful of failed attempts on the exporter. However, I contact WPBeginner support and within 12 hours they had done the export themselves and set along the export file.
Would definitely recommend using this for an easy transfer.

Hi, Before I do this just curious to know will my contact forms, background images get transferred as well or its just strictly content which gets transferred from weebly to wordpress?

Hi, I am wanting to transfer my weebly posts to WordPress. I am interested in following this information to transfer my weebly site to WordPress but I am lacking tech and coding skills. If I go through with the import do I then crest more content through weebly or WordPress? Does it completely get rid of weebly. I purchased my domain through weebly I believe

If you wanted to transfer the site then you would create your new content on the new WordPress site after following the tutorial. This guide will redirect users to your new site using WordPress but you will still have access to the Weebly content from your admin end.
Administrador
Susan says
Hi, this may be a basic question but I like the look of my website on Weebly. Does the transfer keep the framework and look of the website? Or does it mean I have to find a new wordpress template to display the content.

You would need to find a new theme for your site as it does not transfer the look of your site. There are page builder plugins you can use to recreate your current design if you wanted.

We used your tool to export blog data from Weebly and then import into WordPress. It seemed to work fine but with one major exception: the blog titles did not import.
Do you have advice on a fix? Should we try to import again (over existing blog data) or manually enter all the titles to each blog post (about 120 blog posts)?
WPBeginner Support says
You may want to try recreating the export file to ensure it didn’t have a hiccup and then reimporting.

So, what if the Weebly site is one of the ones that are offered through HostGator and the WordPress I want to use is also on HostGator. Will the tool work in that instance?

If you’re using the same host then you could set up a staging site to set up the new site while the old site is active: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-staging-environment-for-a-wordpress-site/
Administrador
Chris says
I read through the article, and noticed you hadn’t addressed comments. Do the comments also get imported, through the Weebly default comment box. Or is that one of the things the importer doesn’t do?
It’s important for me to know, as I recently signed up with Weebly and didn’t realise how lame their comments section for blogs were. I’m deciding whether I should use Disqus instead of the default – as it seems to have more options, as far as commenting goes. But I wouldn’t switch, if I knew the WP importer, could only import my default comments. If at all???
WPBeginner Support says
The exporter should include your comments on your site, if you wanted to test it you can create a local installation using:

Hi there. I first want to say that I used this guide successfully to move from weebly to wordpress (after disabling ssl to export weebly data), so thanks!
I have a domain related question.
I told bluehost that I own my domian ieltstutors.org, though Im building my wordpress site on a temp domain given by bluehost.
Am I right in saying that after I have finish building my WP site, all I need to do is change my weebly nameservers to bluehost? Do I then just go to bluehost and press “transfer to bluehost”?
Is there a way to do this so that the site doesn’t go down?
Thanks for all your help!
WPBeginner Support says
When you are ready you would want to change the domain’s nameservers to BlueHost and then update your site’s url to the correct domain and use a tool like the one from our article here:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-update-urls-when-moving-your-wordpress-site/
You should also be able to reach out to BlueHost to help you update your domain if you wanted.

If I already have a Weebly site with a domain through Bluehost, is switching it to WordPress easier? At one point my website was giving a large error and the site was unaccesible because both Weebly and WordPress were trying to work on the website at the same time. We changed to Weebly for simplicity, but now I would really like to move us to WordPress so that we have the ability to customize far more than what we have right now.
Thanks!
WPBeginner Support says
The difficulty would be due to wanting to install WordPress in the same location as your current site. You can create an installation on your local computer: https://www.wpbeginner.com/how-to-install-wordpress/#installlocal
and once you set up your site there, you can overwrite the site on your host using: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-move-wordpress-from-local-server-to-live-site/

After clicking the ‘Export my Weebly Website’ button, it changes to ‘Generating Export File’. On the bottom left side of my screen ways it says, ‘Waiting for weeblytowp.com’. After a few minutes, I get a message that says ‘504 Gateway Time-Out’. Is this because my Weebly site is too large? Or do you think this could be a technical difficulty?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Carissa,
This could be due to a large site. You can try again in a few mins. If it still doesn’t work then try to save some of your Weebly content as Drafts and then try to export.
Administrador
Carissa says
That’s what I was afraid you were going to say. Unfortunately, the bulk of the content are pages which you can’t put into draft mode on Weebly (that I’m aware of). Do you have a link that I can pay someone to do this for me? I don’t care about making it pretty (I can do that), I just need to download the Weebly site. I hope this question makes sense?

Your new host where you are hosting WordPress.org will provide you DNS server details. They usually look like this:
ns1.yourhost.com
ns2.yourhost.com
Once you know what DNS servers are used by your host, you can edit your domain settings in Weebly and point it to your new host.

Hello,
I have been trying to transfer my Weebly blog to WordPress. I keep getting the error message “Could not find any content in your weebly blog to export. Did you enter the correct URL?” I have retried the transfer at least 100 times in the past day and a half. Still no luck. Any suggestions?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi David,
We are aware of the issue and our team is working on it. Meanwhile, you can try tips mentioned by other users. Some users disabled SSL and that worked for them.

Thank you.
Disabling the SSL really worked.
WPBeginner Support says
Hey David,
Glad to hear that
David McKinney says
Okay.
Now how do I turn the SSL back on for Weebly? Turning it off was easy. Turning it back on, not so,much. I do not want to leave it unprotected.
Thanks.

Hi David,
You’d find instructions on Weebly’s website or reach out to their support.

I am trying to follow the video, but my Bluehost dashboard doesn’t look anything like the one pictured. I can’t figure out how to install WordPress! Do you have any suggestions? I can’t seem to go any further because I can’t figure out how to do that step.

Hi Emily,
Once you have logged into your Bluehost account you will see a link to log into your WordPress admin area.

WOW! I was dreading the prospect of recreating my Weebly website in WordPress … and now I don’t have to do it! Thank you so much for this nifty little tool. After a couple of false starts, it ripped right through its tasks, and I’m done! So very cool …
Jo says
Hey, so I built my site, free in Weebly, and have my bluehost account. I tried using your importer but the URL Weebly provided is HTTPS not HTTP…. is that because I didn’t purchase anything from Weebly? When I run the importer tool it says that it can’t find any content on the weebly URL.
So appreciate your advice on this!

Hi, I am extracting my weebly site from ipage, which seemed to work, then imported it to wordpress following the instructions, but I can’t see it to see what it looks like. The home button at the top of the dashboard says ss_site_title when I click on it, it goes to the weebly site, how do I see what the wordpress looks like before I make it live?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Karin,
We are not sure what you mean. If you have successfully imported your Weebly content in WordPress, you will see it under ‘Posts’. It is possible that your domain name is still pointing to your Weebly website. In that case, you will need to change your domain name settings from your Weebly account and point it to your iPage hosting account by changing the DNS server settings.
