How Do I Transfer Content From WordPress to Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:25 am

One of the most common questions we get is “How do I transfer content from WordPress to Squarespace?” There are a few different ways to approach this, and the method you choose will depend on how much content you have and how comfortable you are with HTML. We’re going to cover a few different methods, so you can choose the one that’s best for you.

1. Use an import tool

If you’re moving your site from WordPress.com to Squarespace, we have an importer tool that makes it easy to bring over your content. Just follow our import guide and you’ll be up and running in no time.

2. Export your content as HTML

If you’re self-hosting WordPress (meaning you have a WordPress.org site), you can export your content as HTML files. Once you have your content in HTML format, you can upload it to your Squarespace site. Check out our Exporting Content from WordPress guide for instructions on how to export your content.

PRO TIP: If you are considering transferring content from WordPress to Squarespace, be aware that there are some risks involved. WordPress is a self-hosted platform, which means you are responsible for backing up your own data. Squarespace is a hosted platform, which means that they handle all of the backups for you. If something goes wrong during the transfer process, you could lose all of your content. Make sure you have a recent backup of your WordPress site before starting the transfer process.

3. Copy and paste your content

If you don’t have a lot of content, or if you’re comfortable working with HTML, you can copy and paste your content directly into Squarespace. This method gives you more control over how your content looks on your new site, but it does require a little more knowledge of HTML.

So, those are a few different methods for transferring content from WordPress to Squarespace. If you have any other questions, our support team is always happy to help.
