If you’re thinking about making the switch from WordPress to Squarespace, you might be wondering if it’s possible to import your WordPress content into Squarespace. The good news is that it is possible to import your WordPress content into Squarespace! Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

    4. Log into your Squarespace account and go to the imports page. You can find this page by going to Settings > Imports in your Squarespace dashboard.

    5. On the imports page, select “WordPress” as the platform you’re importing from and then click the “Choose File” button.

    6. Select the file that you downloaded in Step 3 and click the “Open” button.

PRO TIP: If you are considering importing WordPress content into a Squarespace site, we strongly advise against it. While it is technically possible to import WordPress content into Squarespace, the process is complicated and can lead to unpredictable results. WordPress and Squarespace are two very different content management systems, and their content structures are not compatible. If you attempt to import WordPress content into Squarespace, you will likely end up with a messy, broken site.
