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.

FAQ
Common questions before you migrate.
Is the plugin already live on WordPress.org?
Yes. ForthFocus Atom XML Converter for Blogger™ is live on WordPress.org and available as a free plugin.
Can I download the plugin ZIP from this page?
We recommend downloading and installing it from the official WordPress.org Plugin Directory listing.
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.
