Is your blog trapped at Typepad?

It’s difficult to migrate your blog from TypePad to a more modern and popular platform like WordPress because Typepad makes leaving their platform difficult by design.

The export files from Typepad are plain text files that provide no way to retain permalinks, move comments, or transfer images and other attachments.

So, when bloggers decide they want to migrate, they find themselves stuck, unable to move years or even decades of content without losing much of its value.

We liberate your data from Typepad.

We turn Typepad files into WordPress data, bringing your images, attachments, and links along for the ride.

By using WordPress’s own XML standard, our data converter and custom importer plugin preserve your data—including permalinks, images, and file attachments.

A Simple 3-Step Process

Export

Create your .txt export file. In Typepad, navigate to Settings, then Import/Export.

Convert

Upload your .txt file here, enter your site details, and preview your WordPress XML conversion. Download for $49.

Import

Upload to your self-hosted WordPress blog using the TP2WP Importer plugin and watch your images & other attachments transfer to WordPress.

Will TP2WP move all of my data?

Yes, all this is moved to your new WordPress blog:

Posts

Not only do we move all of your blog posts, we correct dozens of formatting problems common to Typepad export files.

Images

To ensure that all images are moved, we rename all image files to include a proper file extension and strip out javascript pop-ups.

Files

Any file associated with your domain or subdomains will be flagged in your converted XML data and imported to WordPress.

Authors

Our custom importer will automatically create new author profiles so you don’t have to create each profile manually.

Permalinks

We don’t use rely on link rewriting plugins. Instead, we convert your old permalinks to GUIDs, permanently preserving your incoming links and redirecting to your new URL structure.

Comments

We keep your community of readers happy by properly identifying and preserving comments that might otherwise be lost.

Metadata

Keywords and categories will be preserved as WordPress tags and categories, respectively.

SEO

No one matches our unique approach to preserving incoming links, which is key to maintaining your hard-won search engine ranking.
