How To Import Blog Content to Squarespace

If you have a WordPress website full of blog posts you might be wondering if there’s a way to import them over to a Squarespace website.

The quick answer? Yes, there is.

Luckily there’s a way to import them all in bulk, meaning you don’t need to manually upload every blog and all its images one by one. Phew. 

And it all comes down to your XML files.

First things first you need to get the XML file from your WordPress website. You can usually find this within the export section of your WordPress menu.

Once you have the XML file, within Squarespace head to Settings > Website > Import & Export Content.

Click Import and WordPress and then you have two choices. You can either log into WordPress or you can click the advanced tab and drag and drop your XML file into the XML File Import field.

Hit Begin Import and that’s it, Squarespace will import all of your blog posts.

It will import the blog posts into a new blog so you simply need to select all of the posts within the blog dashboard and move them to your existing blog.
