Input formatWordPress WXR/XML export file.
Output formatBlogger-compatible Atom XML file.
Free scopePublished posts, title, content, dates, author names, categories, and tags.
Why conversion is needed
WordPress and Blogger use different export formats.
WordPress exports content in WXR XML format, while Blogger imports content using Atom XML. This tool bridges that format gap.
W
WordPress WXR XML
WordPress export files can include posts, pages, comments, categories, tags, custom fields, authors, and media references in WXR XML format.
⚛️
Blogger Atom XML
Blogger expects a different Atom XML structure for imports. A direct WordPress export file is not ready for Blogger import without conversion.

Conversion step
The plugin reads your WordPress export XML and prepares a Blogger-compatible Atom XML file for published posts.

Export your WordPress content
In WordPress, go to Tools > Export and download your content export XML file.
Install the free ForthFocus plugin
Once the listing is approved, install it from WordPress.org and open Blogger XML from your WordPress admin menu.
Convert and download
The plugin creates a Blogger-compatible Atom XML file and a conversion report showing what was converted or skipped.

FAQ
Common questions before you migrate.
Is the plugin already live on WordPress.org?
Not yet. The 1.0.0 release has completed internal testing and is currently in the WordPress.org review queue. We will update this page once the listing is approved.
Can I download the plugin ZIP from this page?
Not right now. We are waiting for the WordPress.org listing approval before opening public access from this page.
Does the plugin modify my WordPress website?
No. It reads the XML file you upload and creates a separate Blogger-compatible output file. It does not edit your posts, pages, settings, theme, or users.
Does it send my XML file to ForthFocus?
No. The conversion runs inside your own WordPress installation. No file is sent to ForthFocus or any third-party server by the plugin.
Does it migrate images automatically?
No. Images inside post content may continue to point to the original image URLs. Review image links before final publishing.
Can ForthFocus help with a complete migration?
Yes. For pages, comments, media planning, internal links, redirects, or full migration cleanup, you can contact ForthFocus for advanced migration support.
