You’re now ready to import your blog or site content to emyspot. Sign into your site manager, and access the Settings > Global settings menu, then select Import. On the page that opens, you’ll see the following options – you can leave their default settings or adjust them if you’d prefer:
- Import blog: select to import all blog posts from your Wordpress site export file, including blog categories, tags and comments
- Import pages: check this box to import any pages from your Wordpress site
- Default webmaster: when blog posts are imported, the site manager will automatically check the identities of each poster against the email addresses of your site webmasters. Any posts for which no match can be made will be attributed to the default webmaster you select.
- Create redirections: check this box to create URL redirection rules automatically for imported site content, from their existing addresses to their new addresses. Ensure you also transfer the domain name from your existing Wordpress site to your emyspot site for redirections to work.
- Category prefix: if you’ve checked the redirection creation option, and you’d personalized the URL format of your Wordpress site blog categories, you can use enter that format here to ensure addresses and redirections are mapped correctly. If you hadn’t personalized the URL format of your Wordpress blog categories, leave the default value.
- Tag prefix: replace the default tag prefix only if you’d personalized the tag format of your Wordpress site (see Category prefix above).
- File: click to select the Wordpress .xml file you exported in the first step above.
When the site content has been imported, it will be organized in the relevant content add-ons of your site manager (under the Add-ons > Blog and Pages menus), and published on your site.
