ForthFocus Atom XML Converter for Blogger™

ForthFocus Atom XML Converter for Blogger™ is a free WordPress to Blogger migration utility for bloggers, content creators, and site owners who want to move published WordPress posts into Blogger.

WordPress exports content in WXR XML format. Blogger uses Atom XML for content import. This plugin bridges that gap by reading a WordPress export XML file and creating a separate Blogger-compatible Atom XML file.

Your live WordPress website is not edited. No posts, pages, settings, themes, plugins, or users are changed. The plugin works inside your WordPress admin and helps you create a converted file that you can test before importing into Blogger.

Why this WordPress to Blogger converter is useful

Moving content from WordPress to Blogger is not a simple copy-and-paste task. WordPress and Blogger use different XML structures, so a conversion step is required before Blogger can understand the exported content.

This plugin is built for users who want a simple, privacy-first way to convert published WordPress posts into Blogger-compatible Atom XML without sending the export file to an external server.

What the free version converts

• Published WordPress posts.
• Post titles.
• Post content.
• Published dates.
• Author names.
• Categories and tags as Blogger-compatible labels.
• Basic HTML content inside posts.
• A conversion report showing converted and skipped items.

What this version does not convert

• Pages.
• Comments.
• Media attachments.
• Featured image migration.
• Redirect mapping.
• Internal link rewriting.
• Complete design or theme migration.

Images already inside the post content may remain as image URLs pointing to the original WordPress website. Keep the old website or uploads available until you finish checking the Blogger import.

Beginner-friendly workflow

1. Export your content from WordPress using Tools > Export.
2. Upload the exported XML file inside this plugin.
3. Convert published posts into Blogger-compatible Atom XML.
4. Download the converted XML file and conversion report.
5. Import the converted file into Blogger.
6. Review posts, labels, dates, formatting, and image links before publishing.

Always test the converted file on a temporary Blogger blog before importing it into your main blog.

Privacy first

The conversion runs on your own WordPress installation. Your XML file is not sent to ForthFocus or any third-party server. Temporary files use randomized file names, are downloaded only through a permission and nonce-verified admin route, and are cleaned once they are older than 12 hours through WordPress cron and a built-in plugin fallback. The plugin also creates Apache and IIS directory protection files where supported. On Nginx servers, direct-access blocking should be configured at server level if the host exposes uploads directly.
