Hi everyone, welcome to Kitu Blogging and in this video I will show you how you can redirect your blogger URL to WordPress
0:06
So in Blogger we got the URL structure like this. Here you will see this domain name, then you will see the year, then you will see the month
0:15
and then you will see the URL slog and dot HTML. So we need to redirect this URL format to the WordPress format
0:25
So let me just show you, this is how the WordPress format looks like and here as you can see
0:29
there is no month and year and there is no HTML format here
0:34
So how we can redirect our HTML format to the WordPress format
0:39
So here we are going to use a plugin called RankMath. So RankMath is a SEO plugin that we get in WordPress and I have already made a video on how to set
0:49
up RankMath. So let's check how you can set up redirection and after setting the redirection you won't
0:56
lose any SEO that you have earned in your blogger website. So, for this we are going to log into our WordPress dashboard and I hope you have already
1:07
imported your content to your WordPress website and after that you need to go to the settings
1:11
and here you will see this option, permalink. So just click on permalink here and here you will see this option post name
1:21
So first of all you need to change the permalink structure. So by default it is set to plain but you need to select this option post name and then you need to click on save changes After that you need to install the Rang Math plugin So I have already installed this so I will go to Rang Math and I will click on dashboard
1:45
here and here makes you to set it as Advanced Mode and here I will scroll down and search
1:51
for redirections. So just enable this settings and click on setting here and here you will see an option like this
1:59
So makes you have to keep the auto post redirect on. and make sure to add the redirection type to 301 permanent
2:08
And then you need to select this option from the left side redirection
2:13
So just click on here. Now you will see a screen like this and here you need to click on add new and then you need
2:20
to change the exact to reg. So this is reg X and here we need to add a source URL
2:29
So I will leave this link of this code. So you just need to copy a code like this and I will paste the code here
2:39
And here you can add your destination URL. So in destination you need to add this
2:45
So just add the code like this. Now make sure to add at 3.0 permanent move and make sure to keep the status active
2:56
After that all your blogger URL will be redirect to your WordPress URL
3:01
So let me just click on add redirection here. And suppose let me just go to the setting first and let click on permalink here And suppose I want to add a month and date format So let click on month and name like this and I need to just close the slas and I will add
3:26
like dot HTML. So we'll get a old URL in this website
3:33
So let's click on Save Changes. So you don't have to change it like this
3:39
I am just doing it to get a previous old URL in this website
3:45
So let me just copy the URL to the clipboard and let me just paste the URL here
3:53
And as you can see, this URL is in the year, month and dot HTML format
4:01
So I need to go to Settings and go to Permalink here
4:06
I need to click on the post name here and let's save changes
4:14
Okay, now the permaline is set to the structure but if I open this URL then it will automatically
4:21
redirect that URL to the new URLs. So let me just paste the URL and hit Enter
4:29
And as you can see, the old URL is now redirect to our next
4:36
new URL. So in this way you can bulk redirect all of your old blogger URL to the new URL
4:44
So we have pasted this URL like your month and dot HTML So you need to just copy your old URL and paste it in the URL bar then it will automatically redirect to the new URL So all you have to do is just go to the Parmaling Settings and click on Postname here and
5:03
then click on Save Changes. Then you need to go to the Rank Math and click on Redirection here and then you have to
5:11
click on Add New here. So let me just click on Edit here
5:17
And then you need to add this code in the search. source URL and make sure to select it as reg X and then you need to add your destination
5:25
URL like just add the section slash dollar 3 and it will automatically add the home
5:32
page URL in the beginning and make sure to add 301 permanent move and keep the status active
5:39
so in this way you can bulk redirect your old blogger URL to the new URL so I hope you got
5:45
the idea how to properly migrate your blogger website from blogger to WordPress without losing any SEO
5:52
So I made a previous video on this topic but the plugin used in that video is now outdated
5:59
and doesn't work in every time. So you need to install the RankMack plugin and set of redirection like this
6:07
So that your old blogger URL will be redirect to your new URL
6:12
