How do I import my old blog?
To import your old blog, create a new blog and select the import option from your blog’s homepage, or dropdown menu.
What platforms can I import from?
You can import from Blogger, Wordpress, and Typepad.
How do I import from Blogger?
To import from Blogger, select the Blogger icon. Next type in your Blogger url. Note: You must have full feeds turned on in your Blogger settings. Your blog must also be public and not have a password protection on it.
How do I import from Wordpress?
To import from Wordpress, select the Wordpress icon. Next you will need to upload the file you exported at Wordpress. Learn more about exporting your blog from Wordpress.
How do I import from Typepad?
To import from Typepad, select the Typepad icon. Next you will need to insert your Typepad username and password. If you have more than one Typepad blog, you will need to select which blog you are importing. Note: Typepad blogs must not be password protected, and to ensure proper importing comment feeds must be turned on.
How long does it take to import my blog?
The import time depends on how big your old blog is. You will receive an email notifying you when the import begins, and one when it ends. The import process generally begins within 15 minutes. If you believe something has gone wrong, please contact us at help@onsugar.com.
It only imported part of my posts, what happened?
To ensure that all content comes through correctly, you need to set your old blog’s RSS feeds to full. This includes comments. If your old blog’s settings are fully open and you are still running into problems, please contact us at help@onsugar.com.
Will my comments and tags/categories be imported?
Yes, all comments and tags/categories will be imported. If yours did not import, make sure that your old blog’s RSS settings are fully open.
Will my OnSugar blog continue to import my other blog’s posts?
No, the import tool is a one-time import. If you import your blog again, it will import the entire blog again (resulting in double posts).
Can I import more than one blog to my OnSugar blog?
Yes, you can import all of your blogs into one OnSugar blog. To do so, click on the "Import Blog" link from your blog dropdown menu after your first import has completed. This will prompt you to import another blog, and you can choose to import it to any of your existing OnSugar blog.
Importing a Blog
Yes I'd like to know that too, is it possible to export your site?
i am having problem importing my blogspot blog...it shows the url is invalid....any suggestion?
hey folks, we're working on an export/backup system, should be available soon.
magmag - can you send your blog info to help@onsugar.com - this is a weird problem and I hope to get to the bottom of it soon.
Hi ! I have the same problems as magmag, it seem I can't import my blogger
ans shows that url is invalid .. any help ?
make sure that your blogger site isn't closed/need permission to view, and make sure that the feed is on full. if you still can't import after that drop a line to help@onsugar.com with your blogger url and we'll help get to the bottom of the problem. thanks!
hi onmytoes - we're making a few changes to our site at the moment. to import a blog you first need to create a new site. Once you have a site created, you'll then see an import link on its homepage. Go ahead and click that to get started. cheers!
hey sabs, i don't get it. i already have a site and there still isn't the import link.
hihix i've imported my blog 3 times and i have 3 duplicates for each post...... =/ how do i solve that problem????
@frosty - the import link was missing for a little while so we could make a few upgrades. it should be back now.
@caderina - each time you import your blog it imports the whole thing. the best thing would be to delete and start over. or go to posts & drafts and click the delete button on the ones you want to remove.
i am so having a problem (!) i can't import my blogger ): it says invalid url.
@caderina - unfortunately there's not a mass delete at this time, it's one post at a time or all of them. to delete all of them. to delete all of them go to Blog Settings
@Ulsya - make sure your blogger blog is not private. if you're still having troubles send an email with details (include urls) to help@onsugar.com
I've got 200 post in my blogger. But onsugar only imported 40. How to import the rest of them?
@imanwoo - sorry but at this time we don't import from livejournal - can you export from livejournal do they provide you a file?
@ilanathanawong - can you send an email to help@onsugar.com with your onsugar url, blogger url, and what is happening? thanks!
If only I didn't have the bad habit of deleting blogs whenever I got tired of them, I'd already have a ton of posts I could import here
