Hey everyone,
I’m struggling to migrate my HubSpot blog to WordPress. I’ve tried a couple of methods but I’m not getting the results I want.
First, I used the RSS feed from my HubSpot blog and imported it with a WordPress plugin. It got the titles and some images, but a lot of the post content was missing.
Then I tried exporting all the HTML files for each blog post from HubSpot. But now I’m stuck because I don’t know how to map these files to WordPress posts. HubSpot doesn’t give any clear instructions on this.
It seems like getting everything moved over correctly is way more complicated than I thought. Has anyone here successfully done this before? Any tips or tricks would be super helpful!
Thanks in advance for any advice you can share.
I’ve been through this migration nightmare myself, and it’s definitely not as straightforward as one might hope. One approach that worked well for me was using a combination of methods. First, I exported the blog content from HubSpot as HTML files. Then, I used a custom PHP script to parse these files and insert them into WordPress using the WordPress API. It took some time to set up, but once it was running, it handled the bulk of the content transfer pretty smoothly.
For images and other media, I had to do some manual work. I downloaded all the assets from HubSpot and uploaded them to my WordPress media library. Then I used a search-and-replace tool to update the URLs in the imported content.
The trickiest part was preserving SEO elements like URLs and metadata. I ended up creating a mapping file to maintain the old URLs and redirect them to the new WordPress structure. It’s a bit of work, but it ensures you don’t lose any SEO juice in the process.
Remember to test thoroughly after the migration. Check for broken links, missing images, and formatting issues. It’s tedious, but it pays off in the long run.
i’ve done this before, it’s a pain but doable. try using the wordpress import tool with a csv file from hubspot. export your blog data to csv, clean it up in excel, then import. you might lose some formatting but it’s faster than manual. good luck!
