Transfer blogger blog to wordpress while preserving archiving. In this topic, we will explain in the video how to transfer the blog from the Blogger platform to the giant WordPress platform on a very powerful hosting, which is vultr hosting, without affecting archiving or corrupting links.
How to transfer blogger blog to wordpress in detail
The general idea in the transfer process is to buy a new hosting from vultr and install the control panel on it, then link the domain to the hosting via DNS records. Then, activate the ssl certificate, transfer the blogger content to wordpress, then change the links to the old blogger links so that we do not lose the archive.
Code to change wordpress links to blogger
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";
