Are you considering the migration of your blog content from a Wordpress site to a Webflow site?

Don’t panic. The process is simple and quick. Discover in this tutorial how, in just a few steps, to transfer your blog content (posts) from your Wordpress site to a Webflow site.

⚠️ XML File vs CSV File

By default, exporting your posts from the Wordpress dashboard is done in an XML file format. However,... we need a CSV file to use the import function in the Webflow CMS.

(Just to discourage you a bit more from turning the page...)

Fortunately, there are user-friendly plugins available to ensure your content is exported in a CSV format.

1. Exporting Data from Your Wordpress Site

Why keep it simple when you can complicate things? Once again, Wordpress requires us to use a plugin to export data in CSV format. But don’t worry, we’re almost there!

1. Download the Wp All Export Plugin

There are various Wordpress plugins for this operation. Here’s one:

2. Activate the Plugin on Wordpress

3. Export the Site Data

  • Select the content you wish to export
  • Download the content in CSV format

2. Importing Content to Your Webflow Site

You’re just a few clicks away from having your content on your new Webflow site...!

2.1 Open Your Webflow CMS Collection

Zoom on the CMS icon in Webflow Designer
Open the Webflow CMS (collection)
Open a Webflow collection
Open a Webflow collection

2.2 Import Your CSV File

Import CSV function in Webflow CMS

That's it! Your content is now on your new website built with Webflow!

Just be careful about two points:

  • Do not exceed the limit of 10,000 items in the Webflow CMS
  • Match the fields in your CSV file with the fields in your Webflow content management system (CMS).
