Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 9:00 am

One of the great things about WordPress is that it can be easily moved to another host or platform. So, if you’re thinking about moving your WordPress blog to Squarespace, you can do so with just a few clicks. Here’s how:

1. Export your WordPress content.

To do this, go to your WordPress Dashboard and select Tools > Export. You’ll then be given the option to export all content or just selected items. Once you’ve made your selection, click the Export button and save the file to your computer.

2. Create a new Squarespace account.

Go to Squarespace.com and click the Get Started button. You’ll need to enter your email address, create a password, and choose a pricing plan. Once you’ve done that, click the Start Building button.

3. Import your WordPress content into Squarespace.

To do this, go to your Squarespace Dashboard and select Settings > Import/Export. Under Import, click Choose File and select the file you exported from WordPress in Step 1. Once you’ve selected the file, click the Import button.

4. Map your WordPress content to Squarespace.

After you’ve imported your content, you’ll need to map it to Squarespace’s native content types. To do this, go to Settings > Import/Export and click on the Map tab. From here, you can map your WordPress content to Squarespace’s Pages, Blog Posts, Products, Events, Galleries, and more.

5. Style your new site.

The last step is to style your new Squarespace site to match your branding. To do this, go to Design > Style Editor and start customizing the look and feel of your site.

That’s it! You’ve now successfully imported your WordPress blog into Squarespace.

The process of moving a WordPress blog over to Squarespace is relatively simple and only takes a few steps. First, export your WordPress content from your dashboard.

Next create a new account with Squarespace then import that content into Squarespace using the settings tab in the dashboard area. After that map out your content types so that they match up between platforms then style editor to finish up making everything look cohesive .

PRO TIP: If you are considering importing your WordPress blog to Squarespace, there are a few things you should be aware of. First, your WordPress content will not be automatically transferred – you will need to export it from WordPress and then import it into Squarespace. Second, not all WordPress content can be imported into Squarespace – only posts, pages, and images can be imported. Finally, if you have a custom WordPress theme, it will not be imported into Squarespace – you will need to create a new Squarespace site from scratch.
