Known Issues

- Requests for better performance of larger transfers and tranfers of images
- Review of behavior when it re-imports, partiularly are the counts correct
The opening of the plugin's own description. The full text, installation notes and changelog are on its WordPress.org page.
Questions the author answers
How do I re-import?
Simply upload the XML file again. Already imported posts will be skipped and not duplicated.
Once I’ve imported the posts do I need to keep the plugin?
No, you can remove the plugin once you’ve completed your migration.
How do I know which posts were imported?
Each of the posts loaded is tagged with a meta tags indicating where the posts were loaded from. The permalink will be set to the visible URL if the post was published or the internal ID if it was still a draft or scheduled post
- blogger_author
- blogger_blog
- blogger_permalink
After importing there are a lot of categories
Blogger does not distinguish between tags and categories so you will likely want to review what was imported and then use the categories to tags converter
What about pages?
This importer does not handle blogger pages, you will need to manually transfer them.
What about images?
This version of the importer imports these too, but you can disable this via a setting in the blogger-importer.php file. Tracking images of size 1×1 are not processed. If you with to specifically exclude other images you could code something for the image_filter function.
Latest changelog entry
- Add support for WordPress 6.6.2
- Add support for PHP 8.3

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
