Blogs Importer - Get All your Blog Postsš
We are excited to introduce the BLOG IMPORTER, a simple 3-step tool that lets you import blog posts from any CMS effortlessly. With just one link, you can map fields like titles, categories, and authors, then choose to publish or save as a draft.
š Key Features:
- Easy 3-Step Process -Add the blog URL and recent blog post URL to scan and preview the content.
Note: If the iframe is blocked, the blog post preview will not be displayed but functionality will work.
- Mapping Breakdown -Map the blog title, category/tag, featured images, published date, content, and author from the preview.
- Review and publishyour content when you're ready! :smile:
Pre-checks:
Before you begin, ensure the blog has a sitemap for posts.
For example, for a blog at blog.abc.com, check blog.abc.com/sitemap.xml for a sitemap.
How Does It Work?
Step 1: Setup Your Import
- Go to Sites > Blog
- Click on the blog name
- Navigate to New Post > Import Blog Post
- Enter the blog URL and the last published blog post URL
- Choose where you're importing from
Tip: After setup, you can revisit to see the "Scan in Progress" status in the "Imported Content" section.
Step 2: Map Content
- Select the blog title, published date, author name, content, and category/tagNote: If mapping is incorrect, you can manually select the CSS selector (reference: CSS Selectors).
Step 3: Import Content
Once the scraping is complete (usually 10-20 minutes for 1,000 posts), you can import each post individually or in bulk. Note: All posts will initially be imported as drafts.
Recommendation:
Preview your blog post before publishing it live.
